Ep 2. New vs. Bohemian Reno Space

In the third season of HGTV's House Hunters Renovation, episode 2, titled "New vs. Bohemian Reno Space," a young couple is on the hunt for their dream home in Los Angeles, but they can't seem to agree on what they want. She wants a new, modern space while he prefers something with a bohemian flair.

As the episode begins, we meet the couple, Rachel and Kevin, who have been living in a small, outdated apartment for the past 3 years. They're ready to upgrade and find a home that truly reflects their style and personalities. Rachel, a lawyer, is drawn to clean lines and a minimalistic aesthetic, while Kevin, a photographer, loves the cozy, eclectic feel of a bohemian-inspired space.

Their real estate agent shows them three potential homes that are all in their desired location and within their budget. The first home they tour is a newly-renovated townhouse with an open-concept living area. Rachel is immediately smitten with the modern finishes and sleek design, while Kevin feels underwhelmed and unimpressed. He thinks the space lacks character and feels too sterile.

The second home they visit is an older, charming Craftsman bungalow with original architectural details and plenty of character. Kevin loves the quirky details and vintage touches, but Rachel worries that the home needs too much work to update and make their own.

Finally, they tour a spacious designer home that's been recently renovated with a more bohemian-inspired vibe. Kevin is excited by the eclectic decor and artistic touches, but Rachel thinks the space looks cluttered and chaotic.

After evaluating all three homes, Rachel and Kevin must decide what their priorities are and compromise on their styles. They ultimately choose which home they want to purchase and begin the renovation process with the help of a designer and contractor. Throughout the renovation, we see them tackling difficult decisions, taking risks, and ultimately creating a space that feels truly like home.

The episode concludes with the big reveal of their newly-renovated home, showcasing their unique blend of styles that highlights their personalities and preferences. Viewers are left with an inspiring story of a young couple who found a way to compromise and create a space that perfectly suited their tastes and needs.
