Season 7 of Fixer to Fabulous has officially come to an end, and Jenny Marrs is feeling sentimental about her experience on the HGTV series.

Ahead of the show’s Season 7 finale on Tuesday, February 24, she reflected on the onscreen and behind-the-scenes ups and downs she and Dave Marrs experienced while filming the series’ latest batch of episodes.

“We filmed the season from early March through late December of last year. During that time, we walked through the unexpected and shocking loss of two very dear friends, the loss of my beloved Nana, the loss of our [dog] Dolly and the immense daily grief that came with watching dementia take Dave’s mom and our kids’ biggest champion away from us,” Jenny shared via Instagram. “We renovated twelve homes last year, with cameras following along. Often times, the cameras turned away and mic’s turned off, as emotions took over from the strain of the weight of overwhelming grief.”

Despite their losses, Jenny said she and the show’s crew still “laughed,” “worked,” and “showed up.” She gushed, “I’m so very proud of every single episode. I’m proud of the incredible team of people around us. The team that quite literally carried us this year- we couldn’t have done it without each and every one of them.”

Jenny concluded her post by writing, “Hard things are hard. But, you can still find joy amidst grief and this season of Fixer is tangible proof of that for me. I hope you love this one and, as always, thank you, thank you, thank you for inviting us into your living rooms. We will never stop being truly humbled and grateful for that honor. 🤍.”
