HGTV’s “Love It or List It” returns this Monday with a classic dilemma: sentimental value versus practical living. In “From Childhood to Change,” a woman who has lived in her home since she was a baby finds herself at odds with her partner, who yearns for a more city-centric lifestyle.
She’s banking on Hilary Farr’s magic touch to transform her worn-out house into a dream home, one that will convince her partner to stay. Meanwhile, David Visentin is busy scouting appealing properties closer to the city, hoping to lure them away from the childhood home.
As always, Hilary faces a tough renovation battle, tackling years of wear and tear and the homeowner’s strong emotional attachment to the house. Will updated plumbing and a fresh coat of paint be enough to outweigh the desire for a shorter commute and city amenities? It’s a tough decision, one that “Love It or List It” will chronicle with its signature mix of renovation drama and real estate tension. Tune in to HGTV on Monday, May 5 at 10:00 PM ET to see which way they’ll go.
