Fixer to Fabulous on HGTV

October 21, 2019 By Talya Tate Boerner

Fixer to Fabulous

I’m excited for my friend, Jenny Marrs, and her family! Their brand-new television show Fixer to Fabulous airs on HGTV this week! Be sure to tune in (or set your DVR) this Tuesday night, October 22, at 9:00/8:00 Central Time. They are the sweetest family and their home renovations in Bentonville, Arkansas are, well, fabulous.

Fixer to Fabulous

Let’s face it, we need someone to fill the sad vacancy left wide open when Chip and Joanna Gaines decided Fixer Upper would end. Fixer to Fabulous on HGTV will expertly fit the bill. I just know it. And being able to support a show and family located in our backyard while highlighting the uniqueness of Northwest Arkansas will be a definite bonus.

A fun tidbit—back when The Accidental Salvation of Gracie Lee debuted, Jenny Marrs won the grand prize of my Virtual Book Launch party. Her prize? Jenny Marrs will be a character in my Gracie Lee sequel. (I’ve written a tiny bit of it and already know they will be the best of friends…)

I wonder if HGTV will have to sign off now? Hmmm.

Let’s Watch!

Like any show, Fixer to Fabulous needs viewers and ratings to ensure future seasons. For those of us in Arkansas, watching Fixer to Fabulous will be like shopping local.

Fixer to Fabulous

Here’s the thing—Dave and Jenny Marrs are people we know who live where we live. The world needs to see the giving, kind-spirited nature of this family. By tuning in on Tuesday night, you can help boost Fixer to Fabulous on its debut night.

Can we make #WatchLocal a thing?

I think so!

But What If You Don’t have Cable?

Lots of folks have recently cut the cable cord and can’t watch HGTV live. You can still help by spreading the word! One thing I’ve learned as a newbie author is that word-of-mouth marketing is the BEST type of marketing.

Here are a few easy things you can do.

  • Let your friends know by liking and sharing the Fixer to Fabulous Facebook page;
  • Follow Fixer to Fabulous on Instagram;
  • Tweet about it and follow the #FixertoFab hashtag;
  • Share this post with your friends;
  • Watch the show with a cable-subscribing friend; and
  • Download on Amazon, iTunes, Google Play, Vudu, Xbox or FandangoNow.

We have lots of influence, y’all. Let’s do this.

Yay!

    I won’t be able to watch it on HGTV but hopefully, eventually we can stream old episodes. Their names seem so familiar to me….I live in nw AR, but I don’t think I’ve heard of them before.

    The show October 29th aired @ 8:30 pm. did not show how anything other then a children’s play area access door was constructed. The guys garage he built it in is certainly not a woodworking shop, but a garage with a refrigerator and a grill in it. Who actually does all the remodeling portrayed at the end of the show. It would be refreshing to see the people actually doing the work and how it’s done.

      Dave and Jenny are the owners of Marrs Construction Company and do ground up construction as well as remodel jobs. I suppose for television purposes, the actual work is edited to only a small fraction of what has been accomplished. I thought the first episode showed more construction/on-the-job work.

    Episode 5. Entertaining Oasis. Where can I buy the rug under the glass coffee table in the living room?

    I love your show, most of all is the way your both interact with each. It is refreshing to see a couple in the design arena be natural, no silliness in demolition or decorating. Keep it up. Don’t change your calm and charming ways. Same goes for the people you have working for you. Good luck
