In season 3, episode 7 of Fixer to Fabulous, titled "Rough Rancher Made Modern Farmhouse," the hosts, Dave and Jenny Marrs, take on a dated rancher in the countryside of Arkansas. The owners, a family of five, have lived in the house for 18 years, but have neglected updates to the home due to their busy work schedules.
The home is lackluster and outdated, with an uninviting exterior, an awkward layout, and outdated decor. The Marrs' goal is to bring a modern farmhouse feel to the home while keeping its cozy, country charm.
The renovation begins with the exterior, where they add a new roof and chandelier-style front porch lighting to warm up the façade. Inside, the living room is in desperate need of an update. The space lacks character and personality and feels more like an empty room than a place to relax. Dave and Jenny opt for a cozy and inviting feel, adding a reclaimed wood fireplace mantle and a modern barn-door media cabinet.
The kitchen is another space in need of an update. The old cabinets and countertops make the space feel heavy and outdated. The Marrs' plan is to lighten up the space with a white and gray color scheme and add modern elements. They install custom cabinets with unique storage solutions, quartz countertops, and a statement backsplash. The result is a fresh, modern space that maintains the home's country charm.
The master bedroom is a tight space with no real closet or storage solutions. The Marrs' solution is to take over an unused room adjacent to the bedroom and turn it into a large master closet. They also add a statement ceiling and updated lighting to give the room a modern farmhouse feel.
Perhaps the most remarkable transformation is in the kids' bathroom. The outdated pink and gold tile is replaced with a black and white patterned tile that adds a modern touch. The Marrs also incorporate custom cabinetry and a modern soaking tub to make the space feel more luxurious.
The episode ends with an emotional reveal for the homeowners. They are thrilled with the transformation and are grateful for Dave and Jenny's hard work. The finished home is a unique blend of modern and farmhouse styles that reflect the homeowners' personalities and style.
Overall, "Rough Rancher Made Modern Farmhouse" is a heartwarming episode of Fixer to Fabulous that showcases Dave and Jenny's design talent and commitment to making homes more functional and beautiful. With stunning transformations and a happy family at the end, this episode is a must-watch for fans of the show.
