I'm a huge fan of the show love it or list it. Well, maybe not a fan but I find this show quite entertaining. If someone isn't familiar with this show, I'll explain quickly with bullet points.
•a family is not pleased with their current house/apartment
•they are in front of a decision either to renovate their current house or move out
•the real estate agent and an interior designer have a competition between them
•the family have to decide whether to choose a house the agent has found for them or stay in their upgraded current place
There are some features that happen in many episodes such as:
•the renovation budget is not enough (in fact, not even close)
•unpleasant surprises are found during renovation (mold for example or rotten foundation)
•the owners get upset with the interior designer and the budget
•they have to call an engineer at least once, often several times
•the open-concept-kitchen is mentioned at least 5 times, usually a lot more
and
•it all starts with "We need more space!!"
Well, I find it kind of funny when a family of three and a cat desperately needs more space. Because obviously 300m3 is absolutely not enough! How could it be? All three members don't have their own bathrooms, they only have four storage rooms, their terrace doesn't include a swimming pool and (come on!) their cat has to have its own complex with a toilet. So, they desperately need more space, more storage rooms, a bigger kitchen and two more guest rooms and hey, don't forget about an area for guest entertaining.
Really, visit us, please.
The thing is, that our family is in that situation, except, we really don't have space. Our apartment is getting smaller as our family grows. I've been trying to get rid of unnecessary stuff but there is none to throw away anymore. And, there is no chance we could move anywhere any time soon... Frustrating.
Any tips?
