Ep 5. Daddy Daycare

In Love It or List It season 5 episode 5, titled "Daddy Daycare," host David Visentin and designer Hilary Farr are tasked with helping a family decide whether to renovate their current home or find a new one that better suits their needs. The family, comprised of a busy dad, a stay-at-home mom, and their four children, has outgrown their current house and is looking for a solution that provides more space and privacy for everyone.

David's job is to find potential new homes for the family to consider, while Hilary focuses on renovating and updating their current house to meet their needs. This episode sees the family struggling to decide between moving into a bigger home with more bedrooms or staying put and making changes to their current space.

Hilary must work with the existing layout of the home, which has a closed-off kitchen and an awkwardly shaped living room, in order to create a more functional space that better accommodates the family's lifestyle. She plans to eliminate walls and reconfigure the layout to create a more open floorplan that allows for better flow and more space.

David, on the other hand, takes the family to see potential new homes that offer the space and privacy they are looking for. One of the options he shows them is a spacious home with a large backyard and plenty of bedrooms, but its outdated design may pose a challenge for the family.

Throughout the episode, the parents struggle with making a decision between staying in their current home and making the necessary renovations or moving into a new, larger home that better suits their needs. As is always the case on Love It or List It, only time will tell which option the family ultimately decides on.
