The show Love It or List It, Too is a home renovation series that has been on the air for three seasons. The show is hosted by Jillian Harris, a designer, and Todd Talbot, a real estate agent. Each episode of the series follows a family as they try to decide whether to love their current home and renovate it or to list it and move to a new one.
The season 3 episode 5 is called Grown-Up Gap. In this episode, the family featured is the Radcliffe family which consists of parents Karen and Sean, and their two children Liam and Paige. The family has been living in their home for 12 years, but they are not happy with the lack of space and functionality. While the house has a beautiful exterior and a great view, the interior is cramped and dated. Karen and Sean feel like it is time for a change, but they are torn between renovating the home to suit their needs and moving to a new one.
Jillian meets with Karen and Sean to discuss their renovation needs and budget. The couple wants to expand their kitchen area and create a more open floor plan that allows for better traffic flow in the home. Additionally, Sean wants to build a home office, and they want to expand their laundry room. Jillian takes these requests into consideration when planning the renovation. Meanwhile, Todd meets with the family to discuss their potential new homes. He shows them three options that are all larger than their current home and within their budget. Todd also discusses the potential resale value of the homes with the couple.
After Jillian presents her renovation plans to the family, it becomes clear that there are some issues that need to be addressed. Karen and Sean feel like Jillian's proposed renovation is too expensive and would put them over budget. They are also hesitant about the length of time it will take to complete the renovation. In the meantime, Todd shows the family their potential new homes, and they like what they see. However, they are hesitant to leave their community and the memories they have made in their current home.
Throughout the episode, the family faces tough decisions as they try to determine whether to love their current home or to list it and move on to a new one. While there are pros and cons to both options, the family ultimately decides on one path. The episode ends with the family making their final decision, and viewers are left wondering what will become of the Radcliffe family and their home.
