We all have those relatives we wouldn’t mind a slightly longer drive to visit. But for Krystal and Ben, featured on the upcoming episode of Don’t Hate Your House, proximity to family is paramount. Trading suburban anonymity for the familiar embrace of their childhood neighborhood, this couple is betting the Scott brothers can transform their slightly cramped house into a multi-generational dream home.
With a five-year-old daughter in tow, Krystal and Ben envision a space where family gatherings aren’t constrained by square footage. They’re not looking for a McMansion, just a functional, stylish home where grandma’s not tripping over toys and Uncle Jerry has a place to crash that isn’t the pull-out couch. Enter Drew and Jonathan, purveyors of open-concept living and granite countertops, ready to inject some HGTV magic into this family’s slightly dated digs.
Will the brothers deliver a home that satisfies everyone’s needs, or will this close-knit family find themselves a little too close for comfort? Tune in to find out if this renovation strengthens family bonds or tests the limits of togetherness. One thing’s for sure: there will be shiplap. Maybe too much shiplap. It’s always shiplap.
Don’t Hate Your House airs Wednesday, November 20 at 9:00 PM on HGTV.
