Love It or List It is a popular home renovation and real estate show that follows homeowners as they decide whether to stay in their current home after a renovation, or to list it and move on to something new. In season 19 episode 6, titled "A Crowded House," viewers are introduced to a family of five living in a cramped and cluttered 100-year-old house.
The episode opens with host and designer Hilary Farr meeting with the homeowners, who explain that their main issue with the house is its lack of storage space. With three children and a dog in the house, the family is constantly tripping over toys and struggling to keep the clutter under control.
Hilary takes a tour of the house to get a better idea of the space and comes up with a plan to create more storage by transforming the living room into a family room with custom built-ins and creating more closet space in the bedrooms. She also plans to update the kitchen and make the basement more functional by adding a playroom for the kids.
Meanwhile, co-host and real estate agent David Visentin takes the homeowners to view some potential new homes that would better suit their needs. The family has a long wish list, including a bigger backyard for the kids to play in and a home office space for the parents.
As the renovation progresses, Hilary runs into some unexpected difficulties with the old house's structure, causing delays and added expenses. While the family is impressed with the new storage solutions and updated kitchen, they still feel the house is too small for their growing family.
David brings them to see a few more houses, including one with a large backyard and a separate studio space that could double as a home office. The family loves the new house, but the price is over their budget.
The final decision of whether to love it or list it is a difficult one for the family, who love the character of their current home but also want more space. Hilary presents them with a few options for saving money on the renovation, while David suggests making a lower offer on the dream house.
In the end, the family makes their decision and viewers are left wondering what they ultimately choose. "A Crowded House" is a relatable episode for anyone struggling with limited space and will leave viewers invested in the homeowners' final decision.
