Jenny Marrs is feeling extra grateful this week, and looking back at all the blessing she and her family have received in the past decade. Fixer to Fabulous first premiered on HGTV in 2019, and since then the Marrs family's lives have changed completely.
Jenny Marrs took to Instagram to celebrate the most recent major milestone for Fixer to Fabulous, but like the true humble queen she is, she made sure to give a shoutout to everyone who is involved with the popular HGTV show both on-screen and behind the scenes.
"Eight years ago, we welcomed two camera operators, a sound guy, a producer and a production assistant into our home and into our lives for two days. They essentially followed us around as we worked and then interviewed us as we sat on our front porch swing telling them about our family and the work we do renovating historic homes in our small town of Bentonville, Arkansas," Marrs began.
"I remember watching the three-minute edited down 'sizzle reel' that our production company, RIVR media, would send to HGTV and thinking, 'this is absolutely crazy. Why would anyone want to watch a television show about our life?' I also remember being nervous that someone would want to watch a television show about our life. At the time, Charlotte was two, Sylvie was four and Ben and Nate were six. They were babies. Was it wise to open our family up to the inevitable criticism and loss of privacy that must come with a television show?" she continued.
"I prayed simply, 'Lord, if this is what you want for us to do, if this will bring you glory, if we can use this opportunity to shine a light into this dark world, then let it happen. If this isn’t in your plans for us, if this is against your will, then slam the door shut.' Thankfully, when the door stayed open, He brought us the best team of people to work alongside of every day. This team is truly like family and are some of the hardest working, biggest hearted, most caring people I’ve ever known."
Finally Marrs revealed that Fixer to Fabulous earned a nomination for a Daytime Emmy! "Fixer to Fabulous couldn’t happen without our small-but-mighty team behind the cameras, on the construction sites, and in the edit bay. We love that we get to do this and it’s fun to celebrate every now and then!" she wrote.
Obviously fans were thrilled to hear the good news. "This is so exciting,Jenny!! So deserving! Congratulations to you,Dave and the whole team!!!❤️❤️❤️🎊🎊🎊" and "'Fabulous' doesn’t even come close to describing what you ALL bring each week. ❤️," fans commented.
Winners for their Emmy category, Instructional/How-To Program, won't be announced until the awards show on June 7. In our mind, Fixer to Fabulous is already the winner!
