- March 8, 2022
In season 3 episode 17 of Fixer to Fabulous titled "Small Rancher Gets the Biggest Addition", hosts Dave and Jenny Marrs take on the massive project of transforming a small ranch-style home into a spacious family-friendly oasis. The homeowners, Jamie and Jared, have a constant stream of visitors due to their tight-knit family, and they desperately need more room to accommodate everyone comfortably. Dave and Jenny have their work cut out for them as they plan to add not one, but two major additions to the home.
The Marrs couple is thrilled to take on this project to help their clients create their dream home. As soon as they arrive at the property, they begin discussing ideas with Jamie and Jared. The couple is eager to open up the living and dining areas to create a more open-concept layout. Dave and Jenny see this as a great opportunity to make the most of the existing space and start brainstorming ways to tear down walls and reconfigure the layout to deliver the perfect result.
The first major addition to the home that Dave and Jenny have planned is a beautiful outdoor living space. Jamie and Jared love spending time outside, and they have requested a covered patio where they can relax and entertain guests. They're even planning to add a hot tub and an outdoor kitchen, which means Dave and Jenny have a lot of work to do. They get to work immediately, creating a stunning outdoor space with a high-end grill, a charming fireplace and plenty of seating for everyone. They also add an eye-catching pergola that provides shade and privacy while still allowing plenty of light to shine through.
The second major addition is even more ambitious, as Dave and Jenny are planning to add a second story to the home. They believe that this will create the perfect amount of space for Jamie, Jared and their family to stretch out and relax, while also providing them with additional space for guests. They begin by demolishing the existing roof, and they quickly get to work framing the upper level of the home. Throughout this process, they make sure to keep their clients involved and informed, providing them with regular updates and ideas for how to make the new space fit their needs perfectly.
As the project progresses, Dave and Jenny also focus on improving the home's core systems, including the plumbing and electrical systems. They create a seamless heating and cooling system that will keep the home comfortable year-round and replace outdated plumbing with new fixtures and appliances. They also ensure that all of the new additions are energy-efficient, including energy-efficient windows and doors.
Throughout the episode, Dave and Jenny show off their exceptional design skills, choosing the perfect features to complement the home's existing architecture. They blend rustic elements like hardwood floors and exposed beams with modern touches like sleek tile backsplashes and elegant lighting fixtures. They also make sure to create a cohesive color palette that ties the new features together and creates a warm, inviting atmosphere.
In the end, Jamie and Jared are thrilled with the results of the renovation. The home is now a spacious, light-filled oasis with plenty of room for their family and guests to enjoy. The outdoor living space is the perfect place for Jamie and Jared to relax and unwind, while the new second-story addition provides the perfect amount of space for their family's needs. Overall, season 3 episode 17 of Fixer to Fabulous will leave viewers feeling inspired and uplifted as Dave and Jenny work their magic to create the perfect home for their clients.
