Love It or List It Season 3 Episode 11 The Smyth Family

In season 3 episode 11 of Love It or List It, the show focuses on the Smyth family, who have been living in the same house for more than a decade and have grown tired of its outdated design and cramped layout. The couple has two young kids and needs more space to accommodate their growing family.

The episode starts with Love It or List It co-hosts Hilary Farr and David Visentin meeting with homeowners Jill and Steve Smyth to discuss their priorities for the renovation. Hilary is determined to make the best of the space they have and update the layout to fit the family's needs, while David is looking to find them the perfect new home that fits the family's needs.

Throughout the episode, Hilary works to transform the home's interior, focusing on the kitchen, living room, and dining room. She begins by knocking down walls to create an open concept space that the family can enjoy together. She suggests adding more storage solutions to help reduce clutter and create a more streamlined look. Hilary also incorporates smart technology into the design, with features like a voice-activated refrigerator, and state-of-the-art appliances. Her design ultimately aims to make the space feel more modern and functional while still keeping the warmth and comfort of a family home.

Meanwhile, David gets to work finding the Smyth family a new home that meets their criteria for space, location, and amenities. Some of the homes he shows them include houses with lots of natural light, an expansive kitchen, a larger yard, and a home gym. As they visit different properties, the family debates whether they should stay in their current home or purchase a new one.

As the renovation progresses, Hilary runs into a few challenges with the project and has to get creative with her solutions. As a part of the renovation, the family wants an additional bathroom, which Hilary tries to incorporate into the design without sacrificing any of the space customers. This proves to be quite tricky, but Hilary is determined to make it work.

At the same time, the family is still considering whether they should move out of their existing home or not. The individual properties they are shown present some interesting options, but there is no certainty about whether moving is the right choice. There are pros and cons to each property, and the family begins to wonder if the disruption of moving would be worth it.

Ultimately, the Smyth family must decide whether they will love their newly renovated home or list it for a brand new one. After seeing both options, weighing the pros and cons, and considering the potential disruption of moving, they must decide which direction they will take. With Hilary's eye for design and David's expertise in real estate, it’s up to the Smyth family to make the ultimate decision about where they'll call home.
