Marrs Family Scales Back Kids' Screen Time as Fixer to Fabulous Films at Home

Camera crews in the Marrs' 1903 Bentonville farmhouse have erased separation between work and home, prompting the couple to respect their older children's request for privacy.

Overview

  • Jenny and Dave Marrs say production on Season 8 of Fixer to Fabulous is underway and will continue to follow large, technically difficult projects for completion this year.
  • The couple told reporters that their three older children have asked to appear less on camera and that the family will not force anyone to be filmed.
  • Filming inside the restored farmhouse has created daily disruptions because crews place cameras in living spaces and the couple cannot cordon off private areas.
  • The Marrs have asked HGTV to consider removing on-air renovation budgets because rising costs and regional differences can mislead viewers watching reruns.
  • A shift away from family-focused footage could change the show's feel by highlighting major builds over day-to-day family life, and viewers should expect more project-driven episodes as a result.
