Truth be told, it’d be more than a little weird if Fixer to Fabulous hosts Dave and Jenny Marrs weren’t consummate pros at creating ultra-functional, picture-perfect kitchens. They’ve been crafting heirlooms together since they made a quilt with 250 guests’ squares on their wedding day in 2005. The five kids they’ve had in the years since have shown them a thing or 12 about fabulous and family-friendly design. This smorgasbord of their very best renovations will have you itching to cook up new details at your place.

For the third season of Rock the Block, the Marrs headed to Charleston, South Carolina, for some no-holds-barred competition. They devoted a whopping $50K to this jaw-dropping kitchen, which features slider doors for proper indoor-outdoor Southern living, a reoriented extra-long kitchen island that offers million-dollar views and comfortably seats five (thank you very much!) and a spectacular rustic dining table (thanks, Dave) for eight. Spoiler: They won the week’s design challenge handily.

Making a galley-style kitchen feel expansive is no mean feat. The key to this abundant-feeling space is in how Dave and Jenny carried the cabinets and the tile all the way up to the ceiling. Beside the window, they installed a pair of floating shelves in the same shade of blue to give the sink station a bit of breathing room and showcase even more of that lovely tile.

Jenny pulled out all the midcentury-inspired stops to give this kitchen classic style. From the pair of cocoon-style pendants she centered over the waterfall-edge terrazzo island to the gleaming, ceiling-mounted brass corner shelves she floated over the countertop, the space is a hit parade of design moments. The gorgeous, minimalistic cabinets Dave installed beneath them all are awfully easy on the eyes as well.
