Ep 2. One Last Renovation

In Love It or List It season 14 episode 2, entitled One Last Renovation, we meet a family who is divided on whether they should stay in their current home or sell and move on. The couple, Nikki and Tony, have been living in their current home for 14 years and it has become a place filled with memories for their children who have grown up there.

However, while Nikki loves the house and all its memories, Tony is very ready to move on due to the house's deteriorating condition. He complains about the creaky floors, outdated kitchen, and cramped spaces. The couple has a budget of $60,000 for whatever they ultimately decide.

The show's host, interior designer Hilary Farr, wants nothing but the best for the family and vows to give them the house they never knew they wanted. On the other hand, real estate agent David Visentin is ready to show the couple a house he believes is perfect for them, and which will ultimately convince them to list their current home.

Hilary has her work cut out for her, and the first challenge she has to overcome is the cramped spaces. She devises a plan that involves knocking down walls to create an open floor plan. Additionally, she will renovate the kitchen, which has been unchanged since the 1970s. Her design plan includes rustic and modern elements that are sure to bring life to the outdated space.

At the same time, David Visentin has found a potential dream home for the family, which is not only spacious but has an incredible view as well. The home has all the modern amenities that Nikki and Tony have been craving, and it's sure to impress them.

When the time comes to show the couple their options, Hilary is quick to show her design plan and promises that her renovation will give Nikki and Tony everything they need, and nothing they don't. Tony, who has been ready to move for some time, is immediately impressed by the renovation plan, but Nikki still has her reservations.

David shows them the potential dream home he has found. The house is enormous and has all the amenities that they're looking for. Nikki falls in love with the space and is eager to make an offer. She's convinced that this is the right move for their family, but Tony isn't as sold on the new home.

Over the course of the show, Hilary works hard to overcome both design and budgetary challenges to create a home that Nikki and Tony will love. Meanwhile, David continues to show them houses on the market that may sway them toward listing their current home.

As the episode progresses toward its conclusion, Nikki and Tony announce their final decision. They are either going to stay in their renovated house, or they will list it and move onto a better place.
