The Most Beautiful Spaces From 'Home Town Takeover' Season 2

Take Two!

Following the success of the Season 1 of Home Town Takeover, which took place in Wetumpka, Alabama, Erin and Ben Napier (Home Town) — alongside Jenny and Dave Marrs (Fixer to Fabulous) — set their sights on the next small town in America in need of their help.

Fort Morgan, Colorado — Help Has Arrived

The team landed landed on Fort Morgan, Colorado, a town an hour east of Denver that roughly 11,000 residents call home.

Dave and Jenny Marrs Come Along for the Ride

Knowing how time-consuming a town-wide renovation can be, Erin and Ben brought Dave and Jenny along for the ride. "The Marrs are small business owners like us who understand the challenges small-town America faces," Erin said.

The Overall Goal

In an effort to spread town pride, the Marrs and the Napiers set out to complete 18 projects in just four months. Dave and Jenny planned to renovate six houses for community leaders and six businesses, while Erin and Ben opted to take on six community projects. Speaking of community projects, the Napiers, Jonathan Knight (Farmhouse Fixer) and muralist Randolph Torres of Box of Monsters Art transformed what was a bare white wall on Main Street into a stunning ode to agricultural life in Fort Morgan.

Main Street

"Our goal is to try to bring back traffic to Main Street," Erin said. "We want people to see what's so special about where they are — you can really bloom where you're planted if you look around and see what good soil you're in." To bring the street to life, Erin and Ben planned to transform the facades of the small businesses.

Ty Pennington Puts His Hat in the Ring

Rock the Block host Ty Pennington stepped up to move the Main Street renovations along. He also played an integral part in the exterior of the community leaders projects.

The Davies Project

AFTER: The Basement. Dave and Jenny set out to surprise the Davies family. They renovated a number of spaces in their home, but the basement really stands out. Given the homeowner Ty's close ties to the local high school where he teaches and coaches football, Dave and Jenny updated the Davies' space with a fresh color palette and a hidden flat-screen TV to watch games. The kicker: The Marrs sourced eye-catching vintage stadium seating from the high school to add ample game-watching opportunities.

The Davies Project

AFTER: The Memorabilia Wall. Ty isn't just any old high school football coach — he's the Colorado State Champion High School football coach. To show his trophies, mementos and the game-winning ball the respect they deserve, Dave and Jenny created built-in shelving reminiscent of a locker room. Then they added lighting to really showcase his achievements.

The Akele-Akpamoli Project

AFTER: The Exterior. The Marrs wanted to make the exterior of the Akele-Akpamoli residence feel as warm and welcoming as the people who inhabit it. They gave the home a fresh coat of paint, added wooden porch pillars, created a built-in living herb wall and hand-stenciled the front steps. On the side of the home, they made the most of the large lot by creating a cozy seating area for folks to gather.

The Akele-Akpamoli Project

AFTER: The Kitchen. Houefa Akpamoli spends a lot of her time cooking for others, which is part of why she's seen as "the mother of the welcoming committee" in Fort Morgan. To ensure she has plenty of space to whip up delicious dishes, Jenny and Dave fully renovated her kitchen. To do so, they knocked down a wall and expanded into an unused spare bedroom. Doing so not only allowed for a larger kitchen but a dedicated pantry and dining space, too.

The Millar Project

AFTER: The Exterior. The Millars are one of the few generational farming families in Fort Morgan — they're the fourth generation to live on their family's 500-acre plot of land — which is something Jenny and Dave wanted to honor.

To give the Millar home a full facelift, Jenny and Dave transformed the lackluster taupe siding with a coat of pale blue paint. They added wood shutters and new dormers to add dimension and more of a modern Farmhouse feel.

Carmeon Hamilton Lends a Hand

Carmeon Hamilton, of Reno My Rental and Turn Your House Around, made her way to Fort Morgan to help with the Millar project, as well as business and community projects.

The Millar Project

AFTER: The Kitchen. As parents of triplets, the Millars need all the extra space they can get — especially in the kitchen. With that in mind, Dave and Jenny added extra storage and counter space, then reconfigured the cooktop, which now looks toward the living room and enhances the flow of conversation.

From: Jenny Marrs and Dave Marrs

The Millar Project

AFTER: The Living Room. Before Dave and Jenny arrived at the Millar residence, the home had two front doors, which interfered with the layout of the living room. As such, they got rid of the troublesome extra door, allowing for a more functional design. They accented the space with raised ceilings, paneling and beams to bring back some of the history of the home.

From: Jenny Marrs and Dave Marrs

The Boon Project

AFTER: The Exterior. The Boon Ranch is a 100-acre therapeutic horse farm with 36 horses — and it's all run by one single mama. To show appreciation for all her hard work, Dave and Jenny offered their efforts to fully revamp her space. They gave the house major curb appeal with rows of landscaping by the front porch, pale blue shutters, a fresh new coat of paint and a coordinating Dutch door.

From: Jenny Marrs and Dave Marrs

The Boon Project

AFTER: The Kitchen. Sticking to the blue theme, Dave and Jenny breathed new life into the kitchen by opting for smoky midnight-blue cabinets alongside statement brick floors and a beautifully laid brick hood vent.

The Marquez Project

AFTER: The Spare Bedroom. Ernie Marquez runs a nonprofit boxing gym where he teaches folks to take back their power in a constructive way. As a mentor, he needs an office — a space to sit, think and talk — so Dave and Jenny transformed one of his and Jessica's spare bedrooms into a beautiful office, complete with floor-to-ceiling built-ins and a cozy reading corner.

From: Jenny Marrs and Dave Marrs

The Rey Project

AFTER: The Exterior. The Reys are big supporters of the historic volunteer fire department. Auden is a volunteer firefighter and his mom, Juanita, is the den mom. To ensure they had somewhere nice, spacious and welcoming to return to each day, Jenny and Dave enlisted the help of Page Turner of Fix My Flip. The trio ditched the home's original grayish color and opted for a warm peach hue, characterized by a contrasting olive green door, which together gave the home undeniable cottage charm. "A simple thing like a fresh coat of paint on a door immediately freshens up a home and can create a domino effect in a neighborhood that makes other people want to do the same," Page said.

The Rey Project

AFTER: The Kitchen. Since Juanita spends the majority of her time cooking for the firehouse, a spacious updated kitchen was a must. To make it as efficient as possible, Dave and Jenny opted for easy-to-clean black quartz countertops, an island/dining table combo and an expanded doorway into the living room, creating a more cohesive and comfortable flow between the two spaces.

The Rey Project

AFTER: The Living Room. Focusing on the flow between rooms, Dave and Jenny tied the sage green hue from the kitchen cabinets into the living room by creating a statement wall in the same color palette.

Mosqueda Delicacies

AFTER: The Ice Cream Shop. Gloria and Blanca are the women behind Fort Morgan's family-owned ice cream shop, Mosqueda Delicacies. To make the space feel more cohesive, Dave and Jenny enlisted the help of local artist, Socorro, to outfit the walls in hand-painted Mexican sunflowers. They then covered the floors in epoxy — which is more durable for high-traffic areas — and created an LED-backlit, waffle cone-inspired statement wall on the far side of the space.

Zazzy Cafe

AFTER: The Town Cafe. Zazzy Cafe is Fort Morgan's beloved local coffee shop that serves up delicious, one-of-a-kind bites. As tasty as the menu items are, the design and decor of the store were lacking. Dave and Jenny saw an opportunity and surprised owners Dallas Anderson and Julie Tuttle with a whimsical remodel featuring a chic banquet on one side of the cafe with smaller tables throughout. They incorporated neon pink signage and a trendy faux greenery ceiling to really make it pop.

Gold Crown Lanes

AFTER: The Town Bowling Alley. Brothers Tyson and Kyle Groves are the co-owners of Morgan Lanes (what's now officially known as Gold Crown Lanes). Since the bowling alley was all original from the '60s, Dave and Jenny focused on creating a modern patio with retro flair. They went with a beer garden concept, complete with a sliding window connecting the outdoor seating area directly to the bar.

Ben and Cristi Dozier Fill In

Ben and Cristi Dozier, of the HGTV series Building Roots, stepped in while Dave and Jenny headed back to Bentonville to work on some pressing projects at home. As folks who live in a small town themselves, Ben and Cristi were obvious choices for the Fort Morgan renovation project. They helped with the Gold Crown Lanes renovation and the Akele-Akpamoli residence remodel.

Chef Darnell Ferguson Shares His Secret Sauce

Meanwhile, Food Network star and celebrity chef, Darnell Ferguson of Superchef Grudge Match, also made his way to Fort Morgan to help with the Gold Crown Lanes project. "I want to bring the meat and potatoes — something that keeps them coming back no matter if they bowl or not," he said. The menu item he came up with? A green chile queso fried chicken sandwich made with Colorado green chiles.

China Grove

After: Fort Morgan's Urban Shopping Destination. Ceci Pena and Charles Cole are the couple behind Fort Morgan's China Grove retail concept. To give their store a boutique feel — and make the most of the narrow space — Dave and Jenny, with the help of Carmeon, opted for an airy color palette accented with floor-to-ceiling shelving, a railroad tie checkout counter and a chic dressing room area.

Queen Lounge

AFTER: The Event Space. Nick and Amy are the owners of Queen Lounge, one of Fort Morgan's most popular bars. While their pub was thriving, the event space they bought next door needed some help. Dave and Jenny knew exactly what to do. Aiming for an elegant-yet-rustic vibe that works for a variety of events, Jenny, Dave and Page added an industrial sliding barn door between the main bar and the event space. Closed off from the main kitchen, they added a dry bar for private events, along with plenty of seating and a stage up front for DJs and bands.

Lil Jon Stops By to Assist

Rapper and HGTV star, Lil John of Lil Jon Wants to Do What?, stopped by Queen Lounge to offer his entertainment expertise — and inspire Nick and Amy to stretch beyond their design comfort zone.

The Beaver Street Revitalization

AFTER: Beaver Street and Glen Miller Park. The biggest community project Erin and Ben set out to complete was the Beaver Street Revitalization. Their goal? Create a large-scale space for residents to mingle. Given the layout of the park, Erin and Ben convinced the town to permanently close off Beaver Street. Then they outfitted the new area with picnic tables, pop-up shops, space for food trucks and more.
