"Down Home Fab" documents Chelsea Houska DeBoer and Cole DeBoer as they renovate homes in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. But how exactly did the family go from being MTV darlings to DIY masters? It all started when the couple designed their large modern black farmhouse to raise their brood. Chelsea and Cole told E! Online that this led them to create their own business, with Chelsea focusing on interior design and Cole digging into the heavy-duty construction work. Chelsea explained to the publication that an HGTV series was a natural progression for her and Cole and noted that they liked watching "Fixer Upper" together.
The series came to be after Chelsea sent HGTV a message on Instagram in March 2020. The network later revealed what the message said. Chelsea wrote, "I feel like HGTV is missing out on some quality TV by not following our home building adventures." She added, "We're ready to make the transition from mtv whenever you guys are lol!" Shortly after "Down Home Fab" premiered, HGTV told Chelsea and Cole they had renewed the series for a second season.
HGTV recorded the couple when they shared the good news with them and posted the video on Instagram. In it, Chelsea explained, "Coming from a show like "Teen Mom," I feel like it's hard to get people to believe in you, and so I never felt like anything I did, anyone took me seriously. And this just feels so good, and I just, I feel very proud of it. I'm so happy."
