In Fixer to Fabulous season 3 episode 6, Dave and Jenny Marrs take on a charming Victorian Storybook Cottage that needs their expertise. The house was once a beauty in its heyday, but years of neglect have taken its toll on its appearance and functionality. The house is in a state of disrepair, and the Marrs have their work cut out for them as they navigate through the complex renovation.
The episode begins with a tour of the house and a discussion between Dave and Jenny on the scope of the project. The couple decides on a plan to restore the house's Victorian charm while updating its functionality to suit modern living. Dave creates a design plan inspired by the house's history, taking into consideration the client's preferences.
With a plan in place, the Marrs start the renovation process by demolishing the house's outdated features, including the kitchen, bathrooms, and flooring. While preserving the house's original features, they install a new plumbing and electrical system, new drywall, trim, and paint. They also create a new kitchen and update the bathrooms, making it a home that suits modern living.
Dave and Jenny excel in taking the client's wishes into account and incorporating their ideas into the design plan. They are mindful of the house's style and history and make sure the improvements they make to the house do not clash with its original Victorian style.
In addition to the house's interior renovation, the Marrs undertake a grand exterior renovation, too. They restore the house's stunning wrap-around porch, remove the house's outdated stucco finish, and replace it with a beautiful wooden siding. They also add a beautiful custom-made front door, a functional garage, and a beautiful garden to the property.
As the renovation progresses, the Marrs work with skilled craftsmen specialized in woodwork, ironwork, and stonework to add delicate details to the house's interiors, including new kitchen cabinetry, floating shelves, and a beautiful new mantel around the fireplace. The team also installs new hardwood floors, tile work, light fixtures, and custom window treatments.
In the final stages of the project, Dave and Jenny work on decorating the house's interiors with a mix of vintage and modern pieces. They incorporate the client's beloved family heirlooms and add new furniture and accessories that fit the home's style. They create a cohesive and inviting atmosphere that makes the house feel like home.
In the end, the Marrs deliver a masterpiece that surpasses the client's expectations. The Victorian Storybook Cottage is nothing less than a dream come true – a perfect blend of vintage charm and modern living. The clients are thrilled with the outcome and can't believe how the Marrs have succeeded in restoring their beautiful house to its former glory.
