Ep 1. The Right Note

In the season 8 premiere of Property Brothers: Forever Home, entitled "The Right Note," hosts Drew and Jonathan Scott meet Melissa and Joe, a couple who have been living in their current home for 18 years. Though they love their neighborhood and community, the design of their house has not kept up with the changing needs of their family.

Melissa and Joe explain to the Scott brothers that they are both very musical and love to entertain guests with their music. However, their current home does not have a functional space for them to play and store their instruments, leaving them feeling cramped and disorganized. They also wish to have an open concept living area where they can spend time together as a family while cooking, eating, and watching TV.

Drew and Jonathan are up to the challenge of transforming Melissa and Joe's home into their dream space. They first take the couple on a tour of a beautifully renovated home nearby to get a sense of their style and design preferences. Melissa and Joe are particularly impressed with the custom cabinetry in the kitchen and the open concept living area.

With their client's wishes in mind, Drew and Jonathan set to work on the renovations. They start by creating an open concept living area that connects the kitchen, dining room, and living room into one cohesive space. They install new hardwood floors and a fireplace in the living room, and create a custom built-in TV console with storage for Melissa and Joe's instruments.

Next, the Scott brothers turn their attention to the kitchen. They install new cabinets, countertops, and a large island for extra prep space. They also add a coffee bar and built-in wine fridge for entertaining guests.

One of the biggest challenges for Drew and Jonathan is creating a functional space for Melissa and Joe's musical instruments. They decide to convert one of the bedrooms into a professional-grade music studio, complete with soundproofing and custom storage for all of their instruments.

Finally, the Scott brothers create a luxurious master suite for Melissa and Joe. They install a new king-sized bed, create a custom built-in closet, and add a glamorous chandelier to the ceiling.

Throughout the renovation process, Drew and Jonathan work closely with Melissa and Joe to ensure that they are happy with the progress and design choices. They also surprise the couple with a few extra details, such as an outdoor tiki bar and a custom mural in the music studio.

In the end, Melissa and Joe are thrilled with their newly renovated home. They now have a functional space for playing and storing their instruments, as well as an open concept living area where they can spend time together as a family. The Property Brothers have truly created a forever home that Melissa and Joe can enjoy for years to come.
