In House Hunters Renovation season 3 episode 3, titled "Modern vs. Charming Makeover," viewers are taken on a journey to witness two vastly different renovation styles. The episode features a couple, Juliana and Brian, who are looking to renovate their new home in the Eagle Rock area of Los Angeles.
The couple has differing opinions when it comes to their ideal renovation. Juliana dreams of a classic, charming home while Brian prefers a modern, sleek look. They enlist the help of designer Jodie and contractor Dave to help them strike a balance between their aesthetic preferences.
The episode starts with the couple visiting an outdated ranch-style home that has great potential. Juliana is drawn to the home's fireplace and lots of natural light, while Brian likes the home's open layout. However, they both agree that it needs a complete renovation to bring it up to their standards.
As the renovation begins, tensions rise as Juliana and Brian struggle to agree on design choices. Jodie suggests a mix of modern and traditional design elements to create a unique compromise. She plans on opening up the space, adding a new kitchen, and updating the bathrooms.
As the renovation progresses, unexpected issues arise, such as plumbing problems and outdated electrical work. Dave and his team work tirelessly to address these issues while staying on schedule and within budget.
Meanwhile, Juliana and Brian's differing design preferences continue to cause conflict, but they eventually find common ground. They agree on a neutral color scheme with pops of color and texture. Jodie incorporates traditional elements, like wainscoting and crown molding, into a modern design to give the home a unique and charming feel.
The couple's master suite becomes the centerpiece of the home, with Jodie adding a luxurious freestanding tub and making use of natural wood elements to create a peaceful and calming environment. The finished renovation is a stunning blend of modern and classic elements that satisfies both Juliana and Brian's design preferences.
The episode concludes with Juliana and Brian marveling at their new home, happy with their compromise and grateful for the smooth and successful renovation process. House Hunters Renovation season 3 episode 3 is a must-watch for anyone looking for inspiration on how to blend different design styles for beautiful results.
