Love It or List It Season 7 Episode 3 Donovan Family

In the third episode of season seven of Love It or List It, the show visits the Donovan family. The Donovan family consists of a family of five, with three children of age 10 and below. They live in a beautiful home in a quiet neighborhood with an excellent view, but the house feels cramped, and they are running out of room.

The Donovans have a dilemma. The house they currently live in has more of their time, memories, and investments, creating a sense of attachment that is hard to let go. On the other hand, their family has outgrown the space, and they need more room to accommodate their growing family. They have two options: to list their current home and look for a bigger place or have their house renovated to meet their current needs.

The conflict arises when Michelle, the mother, wants to keep the house and have it renovated to meet their current needs. Still, Tim, the father, thinks listing the house and buying a larger home will be the best option.

When love it or list it team visits the house, they discover several issues that need fixing. The house has outdated features, cramped spaces, and lacks character. The kitchen is small, and it is hard for more than one person to work together. The living areas on the first floor are separated, making it impossible for the family to interact and relax together. The bedrooms are small, and the master bedroom is cramped and lacks a walk-in closet. All their storage space is in the garage, leaving them limited garage space.

Hilary Farr, the designer, promises to transform the house and turn it into a beautiful, spacious home that will meet the family's needs. She plans to do a complete overhaul of the house's interior design and make the best use of its limited space. She proposes to renovate the kitchen, knock down the separating walls in the living area to create an open concept, and convert the garage into a family room. She also plans to add a walk-in closet to the master bedroom and create more storage space throughout the house.

David Visentin, the real-estate expert, thinks that listing the house is the better option. He takes the Donovan family on a tour of several homes that are within their budget, but they are not impressed with any of them.

As the episode progresses, both David and Hilary encounter several difficulties as they attempt to convince the Donovan family on their preferred options. David finds it challenging to find a house that meets the Donovan's specific needs and fits within their budget, while Hilary struggles to stick to the agreed budget while trying to transform the house into a spacious, luxurious home.

In the end, the Donovans must make a choice between having their house renovated or listing it and buying a new home. The decision they make will have major implications on their family's future, investment, and lifestyle.
