Ep 12. Delilah and Dan

Delilah and Dan have been living in their current home for over a decade, but their love for the space has dwindled. With undefined spaces and clutter, the couple is struggling to make the best use of their home. Delilah loves their location and believes the house has potential, but Dan is ready for a fresh start. To help them make a decision, Love It or List It's hosts, Hilary Farr and David Visentin, step in to create two distinct options for the couple.

Hilary's plan involves opening up the kitchen and living spaces to create a more seamless flow throughout the home. She also aims to repurpose the dining room into an office and install a mudroom in the entryway to keep the space more organized. Delilah is thrilled about the ideas and appreciates the opportunity to make the space work for their busy lives. However, issues arise as the project costs exceed the budget, and unexpected problems arise, potentially causing the couple to rethink their decision.

To contrast Hilary's plan, David presents the option of listing the house and finding a new home. Dan is enthusiastic about starting fresh, and David finds them several homes that they might love. The first home is a beautiful new build with lots of natural light, and the second option is a spacious family home with a pool. Delilah is hesitant to leave the neighborhood they adore, but the homes they visit make her reconsider. Ultimately, it becomes a tug of war between Delilah, who wants to stay in their current location, and Dan, who is ready for a change.

As the project unfolds, Delilah and Dan face unexpected expenses and delays that threaten to derail both of their options. Despite the obstacles, Hilary and David continue working to achieve their respective plans. As the couple weighs their options, they're hit with another surprise that could change their minds.

Throughout the episode, Hilary and David highlight the potential in different spaces and offer valuable insights into the home buying and renovation process. They help Delilah and Dan understand the benefits and drawbacks of each decision, allowing them to make an informed decision that suits their needs.

As the episode concludes, viewers discover whether Delilah and Dan choose to love it or list it. No matter what they decide, they're sure to end up with a home that works for their family.
