The eternal struggle between sentimentality and practicality takes center stage as “Love It or List It” returns for its 20th season this Monday on HGTV. In the aptly titled premiere episode, “A Place To Grow or a Place To Go?”, real estate expert David Visentin and designer Hilary Farr face off once again, trying to win over a couple torn between their love for their starter home and the growing demands of their family of four.
The wife, frustrated by the cramped quarters and chronic lack of storage, is ready to move on. But the husband, clinging to the memories made within those walls, believes their current house can be transformed to meet their needs. Hilary, armed with her design expertise and boundless optimism, sets out to create an open kitchen, expand the bedrooms, and introduce some much-needed storage solutions. Meanwhile, David hits the streets, searching for move-in ready homes in their current neighborhood that offer the space and functionality the family craves.
Will an updated layout and some clever design tricks be enough to convince this couple to stay? Or will the allure of a bigger, better house prove too strong to resist? Find out when “Love It or List It” premieres Monday, April 21st at 10:00 PM ET on HGTV.
