Love It or List It, Too Season 2 Episode 1 Rustic Rancher Renovation

Love It or List It, Too season 2 episode 1, titled "Rustic Rancher Renovation," follows the story of a family who is torn between renovating their current rustic ranch-style home, or selling it and finding a new one that better suits their needs. Hosts Jillian Harris and Todd Talbot work their magic to try and convince the family to either love their current home or list it and move into a new one.

The episode starts with Jillian meeting the family in their current home, which they have lived in for over a decade. The family of four, including two teenage boys, loves their home's outdoor spaces and the privacy it provides, but they have outgrown the small, outdated bedrooms. Jillian takes a tour of the house and notes the outdated kitchen, cramped living spaces, and lack of storage. She meets with the family to discuss their needs and wishes for their home, and they agree that their bedrooms need to be bigger, the kitchen needs updating, and storage space is a must.

Meanwhile, Todd meets with the family at a potential new home. The new house would offer the family more space, a more modern design, and a larger yard. The family loves the new house but acknowledges that they would miss their current home's outdoor spaces and privacy. After viewing the potential new home, Todd and the family head back to their current home to discuss their options with Jillian.

Jillian presents her design plan, outlining how she will create more storage space, update the kitchen, and transform the small, cramped living spaces into an open-concept layout. She shows the family her drawings, and they seem excited about the possibilities. However, Todd tries to sway them towards listing their home and moving into the newer, larger house. He points out that the new house addresses all the issues they have with their current home, including larger bedrooms, updated kitchens and bathrooms, and a larger lot.

The family is torn, and they must decide whether to love their current home and renovate it to meet their needs or list it and buy a new home that addresses their concerns. The hosts leave it to the family to decide over the coming days, and they agree to meet again to reveal their decision.

On reveal day, Jillian presents the newly renovated home to the family, showcasing the new open-concept design, the updated kitchen, and the added storage space. The family is thrilled with the renovations and agrees that they made the right choice by renovating their current home instead of moving into a new one.

Even though Todd's plan to sell their current home and move into a new one didn't work, he still takes the family to view the potential new home to give them closure. The family views the new house and admits that they love it, but they can't imagine leaving their newly renovated home behind.

The episode ends with the family enjoying their newly renovated home, and the hosts reveal their plans to help other families facing similar dilemmas in the coming episodes. Overall, "Rustic Rancher Renovation" is a heartwarming episode that showcases the hosts' expertise in transforming outdated homes into modern, functional spaces.
