"Love It or List It, Too" is a popular home renovation and real estate series that follows homeowners who are facing a difficult decision: should they love the home they're in and renovate it to make it more functional and stylish, or should they list it and find a new home that better fits their needs? In each episode, the show's hosts, Jillian Harris and Todd Talbot, work with a homeowner to understand their needs and preferences, and then offer their expertise to create two distinct plans: one for a renovation that will transform the current home into something new and desirable, and one for finding a new home that meets the homeowners' goals.
In season 8 episode 11, titled "Small Home Growing Pains," Jillian and Todd work with homeowners who are struggling to find enough space for their growing family. The family of four currently lives in a small ranch-style home that has a cramped layout and no room to expand. The couple loves their neighborhood and their home's charming features, but they also want a more functional space that can accommodate their growing needs.
Jillian's plan is to expand the home's footprint by adding on a family room and reconfiguring the current layout to create an open-concept living space that better suits the family's lifestyle. She also plans to update the kitchen and bathrooms with modern finishes and fixtures to give the home a fresh and contemporary look. To make room for the addition, Jillian proposes removing a wall that separates the living room from the dining room, which will create an open flow between the two spaces.
Todd's plan is to find a new home that better meets the family's needs. He shows the family three different properties, each with its own unique features and benefits. The first home is a spacious two-story with plenty of room for the family to spread out. The second home has a large yard and a separate guest house that could be used as a home office or playroom. The third home is a modern townhouse with sleek finishes and an open-concept living space.
After considering both plans, the family must make a difficult decision: Should they stay in their current home and renovate, or should they list it and find a new home that offers more space and functionality? With the help of Jillian and Todd, the family weighs the pros and cons of each option and ultimately decides which path is right for them.
Throughout the episode, viewers are treated to behind-the-scenes footage of the renovation and home search process, as well as interviews with the homeowners and experts who offer their insights and advice. With its mix of drama, humor, and expert guidance, "Love It or List It, Too" is a must-watch show for anyone who loves home improvement and real estate.
