Ep 2. Bungalow Blues

Bungalow Blues is the second episode of the eleventh season of Love It or List It, the popular home improvement series on HGTV. In this episode, homeowners Jen and Ryan are feeling the "bungalow blues" in their beloved family home. The charming California bungalow was perfect when they bought it, but after several years, they've outgrown the small living space and are in desperate need of more room for their growing family.

Jen and Ryan have two young children and a dog, and their two-bedroom, one-bathroom home just isn't cutting it anymore. They've come to the point where they need to decide whether they should renovate and stay in their home or find a new one altogether. Enter Love It or List It, the show where hosts Hilary Farr and David Visentin work to either transform the homeowners' current home into their dream space or help them find a new one that better suits their needs.

Hilary, an interior designer, is tasked with renovating the home to make it work for this family. David, a real estate agent, is on deck to find them a brand new home that better fits their needs. Both hosts are determined to help Jen and Ryan make the right decision for their family.

Jen and Ryan are hoping that Hilary can work her magic and create a more functional and spacious living space for their family. They want a home that is both practical and aesthetically pleasing. Hilary quickly identifies the issues with the current space: the living room is too small, the kitchen is outdated and cramped, and there is only one bathroom for the whole family.

Meanwhile, David is on the hunt for a new home that meets Jen and Ryan's needs. He shows the couple several homes, each with their own unique features and benefits. However, Jen and Ryan quickly realize that none of the homes they visit quite match the character and charm of their current bungalow.

Throughout the episode, the couple grapples with the decision of whether to renovate or move. Jen and Ryan love their home and neighborhood, but they are also desperate for more space. Hilary works tirelessly to create a design that meets the family's needs while still keeping the charm and character of the bungalow intact.

David faces several obstacles in his search for a new home for Jen and Ryan. Each home he shows them has its own issues, and the couple begins to realize that no home is perfect. They struggle with the idea of leaving behind the memories they've built in the current bungalow.

The episode concludes with Jen and Ryan making their final decision. Will they choose to love their newly renovated bungalow, or will they list it and move on to a new home? Tune in to find out what they decide in this heartwarming episode of Love It or List It.
