Jenny and Dave Marrs have been redesigning historic homes in Bentonville, Arkansas, for years.
During an exclusive interview with The List, they shared why they wanted to take on renovating an inn.
They also revealed the unforeseen challenge that almost stopped them from completing the project.
Considering everything on the couple’s plate, taking on yet another TV series seems like way too much.
So, you may be wondering what drove Jenny and Dave to take on another time-consuming project like this.
The truth is that when they first found the house, they had no intention of filming the renovation.
“We were like, ‘We’ve got to renovate this house.'”
However, they didn’t have a tight timeline as they do for many of their renovation projects.
Instead, they planned to work on the inn when they found the time.
But, that all changed when they mentioned the purchase to their producer.
She loved the idea so much that she wanted to film the process.
Jenny and Dave hesitated at first.
Jenny recalled telling their producer this was something “we were going to do quietly on the side.”
“We were so close to losing the entire roof of that house and everything collapsing.
I’m so thankful that we didn’t and that we got everything fixed and taken care of.
It was more than I ever thought it would’ve been.”
