Love It or List It Vancouver Season 3 Episode 20 Lisa & Derek

Lisa and Derek are a couple facing a common dilemma- to renovate their house or to sell it. Lisa and Derek's house is a beautiful property in the heart of North Vancouver. They have two kids and their current home, although spacious, is not practical for their growing family. Lisa and Derek need more space and better functionality in their house. Lisa is a homemaker, and Derek is an entrepreneur. They both have different ideas about what they want in a house, and this is causing conflict in their relationship.

Lisa wants a warm and cozy house with an open-concept kitchen, while Derek is more focused on the practical aspects and wants a house with a dedicated workspace where he can run his business. They have hired two experts- Jillian and Todd, who will help them make the best decision for their family. Jillian will take on the challenge of redesigning their existing house, while Todd will show them houses on the market that might be more suitable for their needs.

The episode starts with Jillian visiting Lisa and Derek's house to take a good look at their space. Upon inspection, she finds that the layout of the house is too complicated, and there is a lot of unused space. However, she sees a lot of potential in the house and believes that with the right design, they can transform it into their dream home. She presents her proposal to Lisa and Derek and asks them to give her a budget for the renovation.

Meanwhile, Todd takes Lisa and Derek house-hunting. They have specified that they want a house that is close to their current home, and Todd shows them three houses that are within their preferred neighborhood. The first house is a beautifully renovated heritage house, but it's too small for their family's needs. The second house is a modern, newly built house with a dedicated workspace, but the layout is too traditional for Lisa and Derek's tastes. The third house is a spacious, open-concept house with a lot of natural light, but it's a little far from their current neighborhood.

After visiting all three houses, Lisa and Derek sit down to compare the pros and cons of each house alongside Jillian's proposal for their current home. They consider important factors such as location, functionality, layout, style, and budget. Lisa and Derek both agree that they love their current neighborhood, and moving to a new house would mean changing schools for their children and adjusting to new surroundings. They both also agreed that they need more space, a dedicated workspace for Derek, and a cozy and warm home for their family.

Finally, it's time for Lisa and Derek to make their decision- love it or list it? They sit down with Jillian and Todd, who have both presented their final proposals. Lisa and Derek are impressed with Jillian's plan for their current home and agree that it ticks off most of their requirements. Jillian proposes to knock down a few walls, create an open-concept space, build a dedicated workspace for Derek, and to give the house a modern and cozy feel. Todd's house-hunting was also impressive, but Lisa and Derek decided that they were happy with their current home, and they liked Jillian's design.

In conclusion, Lisa and Derek have chosen to love it, and they are thrilled with the transformation of their existing house. Jillian and her team have done an incredible job, and by the end of the episode, Lisa and Derek have a beautiful, functional, and modern home that meets their family's needs.
