A church had hired me because they wanted to expand their parking lot. We got them to agree to let us move the house so we could renovate this house.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The exterior of the shell is exactly as it was in the early 1900s. We added a garage and a little apartment above that garage, but other than that, the exterior, it looks as it was.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jenny Marrs:<\/strong> We\u2019ve also added a back porch that we use a lot. We have a screened-in porch that we use all the time. <\/p>\n<p>In 2019, we renovated. We updated the kitchen at that point because when we first moved to the house, we actually weren&#8217;t planning on moving into it. We renovated it with, like, materials that we had left over and we didn&#8217;t know what we were going to do with it. <\/p>\n<p>We just knew we didn&#8217;t want the house to be torn down, but it wasn&#8217;t meant for our family necessarily.<\/p>\n<p>We also only had two kids at the time. So we grew and grew and then when I was pregnant with Luke, we&#8217;re like, &#8220;We have to redo this again.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>We renovated the kitchen, made it work for us, made it bigger, and basically got rid of the dining area and made it just a kitchen table in the center. We added another bedroom, so the girls moved upstairs from the nursery, [and we] made that Luke&#8217;s nursery. <\/p>\n<p>And then, of course, we renovated again on the show. It always is a work in progress as the kids grow and change and needs change.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/na.rdcpix.com\/1347c1f5fd9f32ec2163ad6eeefc8878w-c2307499220srd_q80.jpg\" alt=\"The Marrses made a gym out of an extra garage bay.\" class=\"wp-image-1095139\" title=\"\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Marrses made a gym out of an extra garage bay. <span class=\"image-credit\">(HGTV)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/na.rdcpix.com\/96bfca3e9afc5fca923ef2ffcbb1d950w-c1378453346srd_q80.jpg\" alt=\"The Marrs family home is also a working farm.\" class=\"wp-image-1095143\" title=\"\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Marrs family home is also a working farm. <span class=\"image-credit\">(HGTV)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/na.rdcpix.com\/21689aff9d99c46e0880d5d86bc6e105w-c2579045891srd_q80.jpg\" alt=\"Every room of the family farmhouse &quot;tells a story,&quot; including the living room where the children&#039;s heights are notched in the door.\" class=\"wp-image-1095147\" title=\"\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Every room of the family farmhouse &#8220;tells a story,&#8221; including the living room where the children&#8217;s heights are notched in the door. <span class=\"image-credit\">(HGTV)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/na.rdcpix.com\/8fc7b99903ed18be45286da5cb6c6138w-c1612637112srd_q80.jpg\" alt=\"The staircase is a beloved feature in the home for being the setting of performances put on by the Marrs children over the years.\" class=\"wp-image-1095146\" title=\"\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The staircase is a beloved feature in the home for being the setting of performances put on by the Marrs children over the years. <span class=\"image-credit\">(HGTV)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Dave:<\/strong> Every little room has a neat story.

For me it&#8217;s like, those are the things that I love and I get to put them in my house. Makes me happy.<\/p>\n<p>I think it&#8217;s easier [to design for ourselves] for sure, because we can do whatever we want and we get to try new things.<\/p>\n<p>We have spaces where we can gather with friends, but people come in and it&#8217;s not perfect. \u2026 We don&#8217;t want people to feel like they can&#8217;t just come in and relax and be themselves. You want them to come in and feel like, &#8220;Oh, this is a very welcoming space.&#8221; If they want to put their feet up, they can put their feet up. Whatever they want to do.<\/p>\n<p>I heard it once where you want someone to come into your home and feel good about themselves being in your home\u2014and with you\u2014and that you&#8217;re caring for them.

We have a big farm table that I built that has crayon marks on it, has nicks from the kids, has memories built into it, and so I love our kitchen table. <\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s where we talk about projects that we&#8217;re going to work on. It&#8217;s where we help our kids with homework. It&#8217;s where we welcome in friends and family.<\/p>\n<p>I love our kitchen because there&#8217;s always room for one more. I just love that. It seems like the heart of our house to me.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m a very early riser, so I get up early and that quiet few minutes before everything starts to come alive, you know, with the kids and school and all the things, with just a cup of coffee, I love just sitting in the space of my house. <\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s comfortable. It&#8217;s home.

That&#8217;s where you&#8217;ll find me in the morning with coffee. I typically always start in my window seat and I read and journal there to start my day.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I have all my books, which, I love books so much, and then all the kids, I have a lot of\u2014not all because I have so many of them, but I have a lot of\u2014the kids&#8217; art and these little ceramic things that they&#8217;ve made over the years on that bookshelf. That bookshelf is, like, all my happy things.<\/p>\n<p>If I&#8217;m taking the time in the morning to read, read my Bible, and journal, and have a moment just before the chaos begins, that sets my day in a way that it really creates a good starting point for my day. <\/p>\n<p>If I just get out of bed and I&#8217;m crazed and I&#8217;m frenzied and chaotic, which happens sometimes, then that&#8217;s the kind of course the day takes.<\/p>\n<p>I also have this little pellet stove in my office that you just push a button and then the fire starts, and it&#8217;s amazing, so I start the fire, have a coffee, sit in there, and it\u2019s the perfect way to start my day. When I have the time to do that, it sets me on a better path.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Miami_market_relevance\"><\/span>Miami market relevance<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If this topic impacts buyers or sellers, the most useful context is what is happening locally.
