Love It or List It Vancouver Season 5 Episode 1 Angie and Shawn

Angie and Shawn have been living in their home for over 10 years, but lately, they've been feeling like their space is too small for their growing family. Angie wants to renovate the space to make it more functional, while Shawn thinks they should sell and find a larger home. Enter Love It or List It Vancouver's hosts, interior designer Jillian Harris and real estate agent Todd Talbot.

Jillian has her work cut out for her with this small space, but she's confident that she can create the perfect layout to fit the family's needs. Her plan involves opening up the main floor and creating a dedicated office space for Shawn to work from home. To maximize storage, she plans to add custom built-ins throughout the main living areas and create a mudroom at the back entrance. She's also determined to make the space feel larger by removing the outdated fireplace and replacing it with a sleek and modern design. But with a limited budget and tight timeline, will Jillian be able to pull off this massive renovation?

Meanwhile, Todd is ready to show Angie and Shawn some larger homes in more family-friendly neighbourhoods. His goal is to find them a home that's big enough for their family to grow into, and with a big backyard space for their kids to play in. Todd has his work cut out for him, too, as the Vancouver housing market is notoriously expensive. However, he's confident that he can find a home that best suits Angie and Shawn's needs.

As Jillian and Todd work their magic, Angie and Shawn struggle to decide whether to love it or list it. They're torn between their sentimental attachment to their current home and their desire for more space and functionality. Along the way, unexpected complications arise, and the decision becomes even more challenging.

Will Jillian's renovation plan be enough to convince Angie and Shawn to stay in their home, or will Todd's house-hunting skills lead them to a new and improved space? Find out in this exciting premiere episode of Love It or List It Vancouver season 5.
