Is it possible to design a look that’s both eye-catching and free of clutter? We asked local experts to weigh in.

A peek at the before and after photos will reveal that eye-catching design changes and clever home staging also played a role in the successful sale of this charming bungalow.

Most of us recognize Bentonville, AR, as the birthplace of Walmart, but today’s HGTV aficionados associate the midwestern city with home renovation duo Jenny and Dave Marrs of “Fixer to Fabulous.” For three seasons we’ve watched the Marrses restore properties around their hometown of Bentonville, adding their signature rustic-modern design touch. When we spotted the renovation photos of this farmhouse-chic home just north of the city center, we thought there might be a chance the couple had a hand in the makeover. Further investigation revealed that the previous homeowners were merely inspired by the homes on “Fixer to Fabulous”, but their design choices were nonetheless impressive. In fact, these tasteful HGTV-worthy upgrades likely helped to sell this cozy country house set on nearly 1.5 acres of land.
