Ep 5. Honoring Lola

In "Property Brothers: Forever Home" season 4 episode 5, entitled "Honoring Lola," hosts Drew and Jonathan Scott work with a young couple who want to transform their recently purchased home into a space to honor the wife's grandmother, Lola.

The couple, Sarah and Brett, had just purchased a home, but it felt far from the warm and welcoming space they hoped for. Sarah grew up close to her grandmother Lola and always saw her home as a hub of love and family. She wanted to recreate that special place in her own home to honor Lola's memory. Sarah expressed that while she wanted a grand renovation that would transform the space, it was important that the renovation included elements that represented her grandmother's legacy – Lola was all about beauty and balance.

With this in mind, Drew and Jonathan set out to make this renovation a memorable one. They started by decluttering the cluttered and disorganized space so that they could visually asses what they had to work with. After this they began the renovation process by ripping out some of the old walls and replacing them with new ones. Brett worked closely with Jonathan to ensure that the renovation wouldn't detract from the historical feel of the house.

Sarah wanted to reflect her grandmother's passion for beauty and balance in the design. Therefore, Drew and Jonathan incorporated elements of the design that were inspired by Lola's love for flowers and natural textures and colours. They added a floral wallpaper accent wall in the living room as well as a custom shelving unit that would allow them to display family photos. Both features would help create a welcoming atmosphere for family and friends to gather in.

The family emphasized the importance of storage while collaborating with the designers. Drew and Jonathan got creative with the space and added storage when needed. They were also careful to make sure the renovation would be practical for everyday use, not just for display purposes.

All throughout the renovation, Drew and Jonathan would run ideas past Sarah and Brett to ensure their vision was being met. They would show style options and explain design choices in detail so that the couple could pick exactly what they envisioned. With every decision, they made sure that Sarah's grandmother's legacy shone through.

The renovation took a lot of hard work and some unexpected complications along the way, but in the end, Sarah and Brett had a beautiful home that embodied all of the elements that were important to them. The transformative space includes an open floor plan with enough space for entertaining, a beautiful backyard, and a stunning mix of natural textures and colors.

The episode concludes with the couple expressing their thanks to Drew and Jonathan for creating a home that will be a tribute to Lola's memory for years to come. It was a challenging but rewarding project for this young couple, and they owe it all to the Scott brothers. Overall, "Property Brothers: Forever Home" season 4 episode 5 proves that with enough collaboration and creativity, any dream home is possible.
