'Property Brothers: Forever Home' Season 2 Episode 13: The bros create a budget-friendly secret storage space for an obsessive organizer

The Scott brothers are on a mission to transform houses to homes, and with this one, they saw the potential of very much needed storage space. Needless to say, they pulled it off in style

'Property Brothers' Jonathan and Drew Scott are at it again on their HGTV show — this time for a couple dealing with an outdated kitchen, storage bins with way too much to store and the main floor closed off to their guests. Wanting a "forever home", Jonathan and Drew deliver a result that makes budget-fixed organizations a reality.

The couple — Rina and Nilesh — moved into their home eight years ago as newlyweds and since then have had two kids resulting in their once fulfilling storage spaces, now cramped.

Together since the age of 22, they planned to renovate their home instead of moving out of it. There are too many memories to leave behind, and who wants to do that when you can keep the memories and then make some more?

With living spaces and architecture becoming more endearing to young couples, the importance of storage spaces has been highlighted more than once. Rina is keen on her storage cubbies and the couple wanting a more open space in their kitchen and living room, a lot comes to play with their budget of $150,000.

With two kids running around and a family's worth of hoarding to store, we don't blame Rina's obsession with wanting her home to have enough storage room to last a while.

From a "warped" wall to a purposeful "shattered" glass refusing to budge, the Scott brothers hit a few mild roadblocks but managed to merge functionality and storage in this contemporary living space.

With the wall that blocked the light from the living space into the kitchen taken down by some muscle work, the brothers managed to bring missing light into the kitchen area and highlighted the couple's new stain-resistant island.

The soft light-colored wall, with bold accessories and black accents brought to life a living room that was once a wasted space going unnoticed. The living area now donned a fabulous dining space making style a factor in its functionality of entertaining guests.

The art on the walls was "the right color" with the professionals spitting wisdom — "a clean palette, sleek furniture, great light flow and bold colors in tasteful pops" which we think is the epitome of the renovated living room.

Now cutting to the most important part, Rina's storage cubbies — she wanted them, she got them. The brothers managed to take a little bit of the garage space and insert hidden storage spaces in the entry hallway to the house.

Closets, shoe racks, and space for the precious cubbies were built behind seamless light tones cupboards, taking away the hectic 'stuck out' mess that narrowed out the hallway before.

It's a classic "let's shove everything in a closet so people don't see" concept, except in this scenario nothing falls out when you open the doors!

There is never enough storage space and the kitchen was definitely a part of the renovation. The couple stressed on organization, storage for their impressive number of appliances and their island.

With Rina expressing that this is her "forever kitchen", we're almost certain the brothers hit the nail on the head. With built-in cubbies that hid the ugly appliance wires away from a cozy shiny island, they were able to maximize the space that now allowed light coming in from the living room.

The island had great counter space and a view to the dining area unlike the closed off barely-ventilated previous outline.

A final budget of $140,900 — a win for the couple — the new look gave them what they didn't know they wanted. Now a space that a family can grow into had no more compartments but one beautiful space with hidden storage gems that we hope stay organized from here on out.
