- January 14, 2013
In season 1 episode 2 of "Love It or List It Vancouver," titled "Melinda & Mike," we are introduced to a lovely couple facing a difficult decision regarding their home. Melinda and Mike, the homeowners, are faced with the age-old question of whether to renovate their existing house or sell it and find a new one.
Melinda and Mike's home is situated in the picturesque city of Vancouver, offering stunning views and a peaceful ambiance. However, despite the exterior beauty, the couple is struggling with the layout and functionality of their current space. They have two young children and desperately need their home to accommodate their growing family's needs.
On one hand, Melinda is firmly determined to stay and renovate their house. She has a sentimental attachment to the property and believes that with some clever modifications and updates, their home can be transformed into their dream living space. Melinda envisions open-concept living areas, a modern kitchen, and additional bedrooms to provide ample space for their children to flourish and play. She wants to preserve the memories they have created over the years and hopes that renovating will allow them to create many more in the future.
On the other side of the dilemma is Mike, who strongly believes that selling their current house and searching for a new place is the right decision. He sees their current home as outdated, lacking the essential features they need, and being too small for their family's comfort. Mike yearns for a fresh start, a chance to find a home that meets all their requirements from the get-go. He dreams of spacious, contemporary interiors and a functional layout that will make everyday life more convenient for everyone.
With such opposing viewpoints, Melinda and Mike turn to expert advice to help them make this crucial decision. Enter the dynamic duo of the show: interior designer Jillian Harris and real estate agent Todd Talbot. Jillian takes on the challenge of transforming the couple's current house into their dream home, while Todd takes on the task of finding them a new property that suits their specific needs.

Jillian faces numerous obstacles, from structural issues to budget constraints, as she navigates the renovation process. She strives to create a functional yet aesthetically pleasing design that will win over the couple's hearts and convince them to stay.
Meanwhile, Todd diligently scours the Vancouver real estate market to find properties that meet Melinda and Mike's wish list. He considers their location preferences, budget, and desired amenities while presenting them with potential new homes that could become their next haven.
Throughout the episode, we witness the joy, frustration, and tough decisions faced by Melinda and Mike.
