Love It or List It Season 7 Episode 2 Finlay Family

In Love It or List It season 7 episode 2, the Finlay family is in desperate need of a renovation. With two growing boys and a home that no longer meets their needs, they are torn between updating their current space or searching for a new home altogether.

Hilary begins her mission to convince the family to love their current home by tackling their biggest issue: space. She plans to turn their dark and cramped living room into a bright, open-concept space that will accommodate their entire family. She also hopes to create a functional mudroom, which is currently non-existent, and add storage to the boys' bedrooms. Hilary's design plan includes knocking down walls, replacing flooring, and updating the kitchen.

Meanwhile, David is on a mission to find the Finlays their dream home. He thinks a change of scenery will greatly benefit the family, considering their current neighborhood is not the safest. He presents them with three gorgeous properties, each with unique features that cater to their needs. From an open-concept home with a massive backyard for the boys to run around in, to a charming bungalow with all the storage they could need, the options leave the family in a tough spot.

Throughout the episode, tensions rise as Hilary and David both try to prove their points to the Finlays. Hilary's renovation hits a snag when asbestos is discovered in the walls, pushing the timeline back significantly. The Finlays grow concerned that they won't be able to stay within their budget while still getting everything they want out of the renovation. David, on the other hand, homes in on the fact that the properties he's showing the family are more expensive than their current home. He believes that the extra cost is worth it for the safety and practicality of a new space.

In the end, the Finlays are left with a tough decision. Both options have their pros and cons, and the family struggles to make a decision. They weigh the cost of renovations against the cost of a new home, and consider the potential upsides to both. Ultimately, the Finlays must choose whether to pour money into their current home or invest in a new one.

This episode of Love It or List It is filled with suspenseful moments as the Finlays navigate their options. Will they choose to stay and renovate, or go and find their dream home? Only time will tell.
