Over the next six weeks, a small city in Alabama will get a whole lot of attention and probably gain a bunch of new visitors thanks to Ben and Erin Napier, stars of HGTV’s “Home Town.”
Wetumpka, a quaint spot nestled along the Coosa River, will be the focus of “Home Town Takeover,” a reality series that highlights 12 major renovations around town. Restaurants, shops, historic homes, public spaces, a farmers market and a downtown street will be featured on the show, which debuts on Sunday at 7 p.m. CT on HGTV and Discovery Plus.
“Last spring, I put away the changing table supplies because I no longer had an infant,” she shared in her initial post. “I put it away in the guest room closet and then I cried because I thought how lonesome Helen must feel up there in her crib beside an empty room every night. A few weeks later, I watched my daddy and his brother standing at my grandmother’s graveside. Two men with many differences strengthened each other. Two men who knew her better than any of us ever could. Siblings do that, they know and remember and keep the stories of a family alive. And we wanted that for Helen. Someone to stand with her when we can’t someday.”

On the season finale of Dave and Jenny Marrsâ âFixer to Fabulousâ, a young Literature teacher Bowman Cooper was their client. Cooper who used to live in New York is a seventh grade English teacher.
Tired of living in tiny over-expensive apartments, Cooper moved back to Arkansas looking for a more spacious place to live. Dave and Jenny had previously renovated her parentsâ home, so one day when Cooper found the perfect house, she knew who to call for the perfect renovation.
The house dated back to 1888 which was not a problem for Cooper because she loved history but sadly none of the vintage aesthetics were well preserved and the condition of the house was very poor. The house looked asymmetrical since it had its entrance on the side instead of the center, a detail neither Cooper nor the Marrs couple were a fan of.

Dave and Jenny Marrs (HGTV)
On the new episode of the year, HGTVâs Fixer to Fabulous is back with renovators Jenny and Dave Marrs and they have some fun Mediterranean-inspired ideas for the Walker family. While itâs becoming a recurring theme for the duo to bring such influence, we are not complaining. The official handle of HGTV posted a video of the before and after of the transformation with the caption, âIs this house in Arkansas or the Mediterranean?â
