HGTV’s Jenny Marrs just revealed a big FIXER TO FABULOUS secret!
“Fun fact time! Did you know we film 60 hours of footage for each 43 minute episode of FIXER TO FABULOUS?” she wrote in an Instagram post. “This means that there is a LOT of footage (59 hours worth 🤯) that you don’t see!”
Marrs explained that the team isn’t “always able to reveal every space in the home on camera,” listing extra bathrooms and bedrooms, as well as office spaces.
“But I can assure you that just because you didn’t see it on the episode, doesn’t mean it’s not there,” she wrote, mentioning a recent episode that didn’t show the home’s “fully renovated full bathroom for the kids, pantry and laundry room.”

Marrs continued, “Just a little behind the scenes info for your Friday! (Hope that helps because I did get a lot of questions about if there is only one bathroom for seven people).”
The HGTV star spoke to TV Insider about the home renovation show’s latest season, sharing, “We get to work with so many different families and they have different wants and different needs and different homes, different style homes, so I really think just the nature of the fact that they’re so unique and different really does keep it fresh.”
“None of these houses are like anything we’ve done before,” she continued. “Or even if the house is, the family isn’t, and their needs are different. I think if we weren’t designing a home for a family, if it was just a home that has to be neutral, then it would be repetitive. But we really do try to make each home very specific to who lives there.”
The home improvements don’t just happen in front of the camera. Marrs recently spoke to Realtor.com about their own home renovations.
“More than anything, we have adjusted our house as we’ve needed to for the stages of our kids’ lives and our lives, and it’s always a work in progress,” Marrs said. “It’s an old home and it’s warm and it’s cozy and it’s real. Life is lived there; It’s not a museum.”
She continued, “I heard it once where you want someone to come into your home and feel good about themselves being in your home — and with you — and that you’re caring for them. You don’t want them to become uncomfortable, so that is really important.”
While FIXER TO FABULOUS fans might want to see every square inch of the renovated homes, Marrs’ recent post is a reminder that what they see on TV isn’t the whole story.
