Property Brothers: Forever Home is a popular reality television show where twin brothers, Drew and Jonathan Scott, make miracles happen in the homes of families who have outgrown their living spaces. In season 8, episode 7, titled "Farmhouse in the City," we see the brothers take on the massive task of transforming a small cottage in the heart of the city into a cozy farmhouse for a sweet couple who are expecting their first child.
The couple, Whitney and Wyatt, have lived in their charming but cramped little blue house for years, making it work despite its limited space and outdated design. But now that they are starting a family, they know they need more room and a home that will grow with them. Their dream is to have a modern farmhouse in the middle of the city, with plenty of space for their expanding family, and a cozy, warm atmosphere that reflects their personalities.
Enter Drew and Jonathan, who are more than ready to take on the challenge. The couple knows that their house needs a complete overhaul, but they are anxious about the cost and the amount of work involved. Drew assures them that they are up for the challenge, and that they will work within their budget to make their dreams a reality.
The first step in the renovation is to tear down some walls and open up the living space, creating a larger, more open floor plan. Jonathan gets to work on creating a custom kitchen that fits with the couple's farmhouse aesthetic, complete with an oversized island, rustic wood cabinets, and vintage-style light fixtures.
The design plan for each room is carefully thought out to ensure that it not only looks beautiful, but also functions well for their growing family. For the nursery, Whitney and Wyatt want something that is both functional and whimsical, with a farmhouse charm. Jonathan creates a custom-built changing table and crib, complete with unique rustic details that will surely be a conversation starter when they have guests over.
As they work their way through the house, the Property Brothers run into some unexpected challenges, such as outdated electrical and plumbing systems that need to be replaced. But they take it all in stride, working through each challenge with the confidence that comes with years of experience.
Throughout the renovation process, Drew and Jonathan work closely with Whitney and Wyatt, incorporating their personal style preferences and making sure that each space in the house reflects the couple's personalities. They also make sure that the home is as functional as it is beautiful, with plenty of storage space and room for entertaining.
Finally, the big reveal day arrives, and Whitney and Wyatt are absolutely thrilled with their new home. The new farmhouse aesthetic is beautifully incorporated throughout the entire space, with rustic wood accents, neutral color palettes, and vintage-inspired details. The extra space has given them the room they need to start their family, and they can't wait to share their new home with loved ones.
As with every episode of Property Brothers: Forever Home, the transformation of this home is nothing short of miraculous. Through hard work and thoughtful design, Drew and Jonathan have made a once-cramped and outdated cottage into a beautiful and functional modern farmhouse that will serve Whitney and Wyatt's family for years to come.
