HGTV Stars Dave and Jenny Marrs Brave the Trials and Tribulations of Renovating Abroad in New Spin-Off Series “Fixer to Fabulous: Italiano” Premiering March 12

Fixer to Fabulous stars Dave and Jenny Marrs will journey to Italy’s Tuscan countryside from their hometown of Bentonville, Arkansas, to revitalize a grand villa for longtime friends in the new HGTV series Fixer to Fabulous: Italiano. Premiering Tuesday, March 12 @ 8PM ET/PT, the six-episode season will document the Marrs, who first visited Italy as newlyweds, as they execute a monumental restoration of the centuries-old property. Inspired by the rich history, rolling hillsides, and leafy olive groves of the region, Dave and Jenny will rely on the help of local builders, architects, and artisans to meet historic building regulations and source authentic materials such as handmade terracotta tiles, olive wood floors, and Carrara marble. Bringing this behemoth renovation across the finish line will take all the grit, determination, and building savvy they can muster to overcome language barriers, months of delays, budget restraints, looming deadlines, and an immense amount of pressure.

“Renovating a house in Italy has always been a dream,” said Dave.

“But it’s very overwhelming,” added Jenny. “This is a 200-year-old house in a foreign country, and we can’t take unlimited trips to Italy with our business and kids back home. I just hope we’re not biting off more than we can chew.”

In the premiere episode, Dave and Jenny will meet up with their longtime friends, Pierre and Rebecca, who are investing their life savings to renovate the timeworn villa into a charming vacation rental for tourists. As demolition gets underway, the Marrs run into a slew of challenges including a sudden snowstorm, permit delays and building restrictions.
