From LA to Chicago Dream Home follows a young couple as they search for their dream home in The Windy City. The episode begins with a brief introduction of the couple, Katie and Liam, who have recently moved from LA to Chicago for Liam's job as an accountant. They currently live in a small apartment and are looking for their forever home.
The couple's wish list includes a spacious kitchen, a backyard for their dog, and a vintage feel - reminiscent of Katie's childhood home. They also want to be close to public transportation for Liam's daily commute.
The first home they view is a recently renovated 3-bedroom house in the up-and-coming neighborhood of Logan Square. The house has an open floor plan and a modern feel, but lacks the vintage charm they are looking for. The backyard is small and the location is not ideal for Liam's commute. They ultimately decide to pass on this house.
The second home they view is a 4-bedroom house in West Town that has been recently remodeled. The house has a vintage feel with its original crown molding and fireplace. The kitchen is small, but the backyard is a great size for their dog, Charlie. This location is ideal for Liam's commute, but the house is over their budget.
The third home they view is a 3-bedroom house in Old Irving Park. The house has a vintage charm with original hardwood floors and moldings. The backyard is large and perfect for Charlie. The location is also great for Liam's commute. However, the house needs a lot of work and would require a large budget to complete the renovations.
After much consideration, Katie and Liam decide to put an offer on the second house they viewed in West Town. While it is over their budget, they love the vintage charm and location. They negotiate with the seller and ultimately close on the house.
The renovation process begins with Katie and Liam meeting with their contractor, Jake, to discuss their vision for the house. They want to update the kitchen and add an island, as well as create a more functional space for their laundry room. They also want to redo the floors and update all of the bathrooms.
Throughout the renovation process, there are a few hiccups. They encounter issues with the HVAC system, which adds to their budget. They also realize that the laundry room they had envisioned will not work with the space, so they have to come up with a new plan.
As the renovation nears its end, Katie and Liam are thrilled with the final product. The kitchen is exactly what they had envisioned, with a large island and a vintage feel. The floors and bathrooms throughout the house have been updated and look fantastic.
From LA to Chicago Dream Home is a heartwarming episode that follows a couple on their search for their dream home. With the help of their contractor, they are able to transform a vintage house into the perfect home for their growing family.
