Belinda and Sam have a beautiful home in East Vancouver, but their current space no longer suits their lifestyle. Belinda is a professional yoga instructor and Sam is a firefighter, so they both need specific spaces in the home for their careers. Belinda needs a dedicated yoga studio while Sam needs a quiet space to study for his upcoming promotion. With a young son and another baby on the way, they need more room for their growing family as well.
The couple is torn between renovating their current home and finding a new one that better fits their needs. The Love It or List It Vancouver team, comprised of interior designer Jillian Harris and realtor Todd Talbot, is brought in to help them make the tough decision.
Jillian quickly gets to work on renovating their current home, with a plan to create a functional space for both Belinda and Sam's careers and make room for their expanding family. She creates a stunning yoga studio in the basement complete with a mural of a serene forest scene and an adjacent bathroom with a steam shower. She also creates a quiet study area for Sam with French doors for privacy and a stunning custom reclaimed wood desk.
Jillian's renovation plan extends to the main floor as well, where she knocks down walls to create an open concept living and dining area. She adds a beautiful feature wall with a fireplace and built-in shelving for the family's extensive book collection. The kitchen is completely reconfigured to include more storage and counter space, with sleek stainless steel appliances and a large island for entertaining.
While Jillian is busy renovating their current home, Todd is hard at work finding potential new homes for the family to consider. He shows them a range of homes, including a spacious new build in Burnaby and a charming character home in East Vancouver.
Belinda and Sam are impressed by the potential of the new build in Burnaby, which features multiple living spaces for their growing family. But they're also drawn to the charm and character of the East Vancouver home. Todd advises them on the pros and cons of each property, offering valuable insights and advice to help them make their decision.
As the renovation of their current home draws to a close, Belinda and Sam must make the difficult decision to love it or list it. The Love It or List It Vancouver team guides them through the process, weighing the pros and cons of each option and ultimately helping them make the right choice for their family.
