‘Property Brothers: Forever Home’ Season 3 Episode 1: Drew and Jonathan declutter old house, fan puts up challenge
The very first episode of the all new season sees the Scott brothers helping a couple with three kids. They live in a beautiful vintage home but there is clutter everywhere, and nothing seems organized. To top it off, the design and the layout of the house is anything but modern, partly because it is a five-decade-old property.
In fact, Lois, the kids' mother, reveals that one of her children always requested them to move houses and find a new house. The couple isn’t ready to leave the house because they love the neighborhood and want to stay put there. But the fifty-year-old house needed some serious reworking to accommodate the needs of growing children, and also to eliminate the mountains of clutter inside the house.
With a maximum budget of $200k, Jonathan and Drew had enough room to be creative and upgrade the house to make it a dream abode for the family, while also helping the family reorganize.
But fans on Twitter are of a different opinion. They feel while the Scott brothers make homes look perfect after renovations, the homeowners might not be able to keep up the changes in the long run.
“Currently watching #PropertyBrothers forever home and glad to see homes go from drab to fab. I would like them to revisit in 6 mos and find out how ratchet they actually kept the renos. Lol #whatdidYOUdo #doyouownabroom #whatsthiscrap”, says a fan.
The brothers began with changing the antiquated flooring of the house and replacing it with wooden flooring. Then they pulled down the walls to make it an open design, with the added benefit of plenty of natural lighting. That instantly gave a beautiful lift to the old house, and then they proceeded to install plenty of storage spaces across the house so that the clutter would be bare minimum.
As a response to this part of the renovation, a fan on Twitter posted a project of a 100-year old property and challenged the Scott brothers.
“#PropertyBrothers I have a forever home project that will challenge you. The home is 700 sq ft 2 bed 1 bath. The home was built in 1907. It was originally a tent camp. It has been in my wife's family for over 50 years. Need help. #michaelmaziarz”.
The brothers have done it again, they have managed to give yet another family a gift of beautiful home which they will cherish forever, and helping them not only organize their home but also their lives!
