Ep 3. Looking for Wow

In season 3 episode 3 of Property Brothers, titled "Looking for Wow," twin brothers Jonathan and Drew Scott are back to help a couple in search of their dream home. The couple, Emily and Ken, are looking to upgrade from their small condo into a spacious home, but they also want a property that has the "wow" factor they crave.

The episode kicks off with the brothers meeting with Emily and Ken to discuss their needs and wants for their new home. Emily is an artist who works from home and needs ample workspace, while Ken is a musician who wants a soundproof area to practice and record music. They both love entertaining and want a home with an open-concept and plenty of room for guests.

As the brothers begin their search for the perfect home, they take Emily and Ken to see a few properties in their desired neighborhood. The first property is a large, older home with plenty of character, but the layout is cramped and there isn't enough space for Ken to practice his music. The second property is a modern, open-concept home with a large yard, but it's out of their price range.

Feeling discouraged, the trio takes a break and meets with their contractor to discuss their options. The brothers suggest buying a fixer-upper and renovating it to fit their needs and budget. Emily and Ken are hesitant but eventually agree to the idea.

The brothers then take Emily and Ken to see a fixer-upper that they think has potential. The property has good bones but needs a lot of work, including a new roof, updated electrical, and a complete overhaul of the layout. Emily and Ken are excited at the prospect of creating a home that is uniquely theirs, but they're also intimidated by the amount of work that needs to be done.

Over the next few weeks, the brothers work with Emily and Ken to come up with a design plan that incorporates all of their needs and wants. They tackle each room one by one, including creating a soundproof music room for Ken, a large and functional workspace for Emily, and a spacious and modern kitchen for entertaining.

Throughout the renovation process, there are plenty of challenges and setbacks, including a discovery of mold in the basement and unexpected structural issues. However, the brothers and their team of professionals work tirelessly to address each issue and keep the project on track.

Finally, the renovation is complete and Emily and Ken get to see their dream home come to life. They're thrilled with the end result and can't believe how far the property has come since they first saw it. With its open-concept layout, unique design elements, and personalized spaces, their new home truly has the "wow" factor they were looking for.

Overall, "Looking for Wow" is an inspiring episode that showcases the power of a well-executed renovation. The brothers' creativity and attention to detail, along with Emily and Ken's willingness to take on a fixer-upper, result in a stunning home that truly meets their needs and exceeds their expectations.
