Love It or List It Season 3 Episode 19 The Renton Family

The Renton family has outgrown their cozy bungalow and is in search of a bigger home. However, while husband Dave is ready to move on, wife Sonya is hesitant to leave their beloved neighborhood. Enter the dynamic duo of Love It or List It, designer Hilary Farr and real estate expert David Visentin, who will try to convince Sonya to move with a stunning, renovated home or convince Dave to stay and make their current home work for their family.

Hilary's first step is to assess the home's main problem: lack of space. With three growing children, the Renton family needs more room to move around. Hilary's plan is to knock down walls and expand the living room to create an open concept design that flows naturally into the kitchen. The kitchen will receive a complete makeover with new countertops, cabinets, and appliances. Additionally, she plans to create a new master bedroom with a walk-in closet and a bathroom with a luxurious, spa-like feel.

As Hilary works on the design, David tries to find the ideal new home for the family. Sonya dreams of a home with a big yard, a spacious kitchen, and a separate guest suite. David shows her three potential homes that fit her criteria, but not every house is perfect. One home has a beautiful backyard but lacks the kitchen space Sonya wants. Another has all the amenities she wants, but the guest suite is located in the basement. Will any of these homes make Sonya want to list their current residence?

Meanwhile, Hilary runs into some unexpected challenges with the renovation. The existing structure poses some issues, and the budget is tighter than expected. Hilary must get creative with her design while keeping a close eye on the budget. Despite the setbacks, the renovation team works tirelessly to finish on time, knowing that the results could make or break the Renton family's decision.

Eventually, both Hilary and David present their final designs to Dave and Sonya. Hilary showcases the beautiful renovated home that addresses all of Sonya's concerns, while David highlights three potential new homes with great amenities. Each family member has their own individual opinion about what the best choice is. Dave wants a new house, the children like their old neighborhood, and Sonya is torn between the new house and their current home. Will the family decide to love it and stay in their renovated home or will they list it and start anew?

Overall, The Renton Family episode of Love It or List it season 3 offers plenty of drama, excitement, and stunning design moments. Hilary and David work hard to show the Renton family what they can gain by either staying put or moving to a new, larger home. The episode highlights the importance of family values and the sentimental attachment people can feel towards their homes.
