Ep 2. Marrying The Old And The New

In this episode of Property Brothers: Forever Home season 2, titled "Marrying The Old And The New," Drew and Jonathan Scott work with a couple who have lived in their Vancouver home for two decades. The couple has raised their three children in the house, but now as empty nesters, they want to update the space to better fit their post-kid lifestyle.

The couple's main request to the Scott brothers is to combine their love for the traditional architecture of their 1920s home with a more modern feel that will make the space more functional and comfortable.

Drew and Jonathan begin by discussing the couple's needs and wants and take a tour of the home to see what changes can be made. The first area of focus is the main floor, which is divided into several small rooms that don't flow well with one another. The Scotts suggest knocking down some walls to create a more open-concept living space that will be perfect for entertaining.

The kitchen is also a priority, as the couple loves to cook and entertain. Drew and Jonathan suggest updating the space with a mix of classic and modern features, such as white shaker cabinets, black marble countertops, and a large island with seating. The couple is thrilled with the design and cannot wait to start cooking in their new space.

Another area of focus is the couple's master bedroom, which is small and cramped. Drew and Jonathan suggest turning one of the smaller bedrooms into a walk-in closet and creating a master suite with a luxurious spa-like bathroom featuring a soaking tub and a walk-in shower.

Throughout the renovation process, the Scott brothers encounter several challenges, including structural issues with the home's foundation and the need to replace outdated electrical and plumbing systems. Despite these setbacks, Drew and Jonathan are able to push through and complete the renovation on time and within the couple's budget.

The result is a stunning transformation that blends traditional and modern features seamlessly. The couple now has a home that is not only beautiful but functional and comfortable for their new chapter as empty nesters. The Scott brothers leave the couple beaming with joy and grateful to have helped them achieve their dream home.

Overall, the episode "Marrying The Old And The New" showcases the Scott brothers' ability to combine classic and modern design elements to create a home that is both timeless and functional. With their expertise and attention to detail, Drew and Jonathan are able to create a space that perfectly fits their client's needs and desires, all while navigating the challenges of renovations and keeping within a budget.
