Last night on the Property Brother season 11 premiere, Jonathan and Drew helped Tom and TJ find their forever home. Tom and TJ are currently living in a small loft apartment that their friend owns and with two dogs, it’s a little tight. They are looking for two very different houses. One of them like modern homes and the other wants something a little older with some character.
With one of them going out of town, the other is in charge of finding their dream home. Drew and Jonathan continue to show houses and they think they have found the right house for Tom and TJ. When they are both able to look at it together, they both agree that they are in love with this home. The only problem is, the seller came up in the price and with the renovation budget that is needed, they are above their all-in budget by $20,000. Check out these before pictures of Tom and TJ’s pick!

Drew was able to talk to the seller into bringing the selling price down the extra $20,000, but when they take possession of the house, the costs start adding up. Not to mention, Tom and TJ keep adding things to the list of features they want in the house. Jonathan is trying to find ways to save money just to make room for the things they need to do to bring the house to code and now he is trying to find cost effective ways to get the added features in the house. Here are all the designs that Jonathan had for this house!

After some more back and forth about some minor details about the house, Jonathan and his crew had their work cut out for them. Jonathan had some issues with getting Tom and TJ to agree on how they want the fireplaces all refinished. They come in to talk to Jonathan about the different options and they both seem to like all the options for one reason or another so they agree to give Jonathan the right to decide how to do the fireplaces. They want him to “surprise” them! Tom and TJ don’t seem to be the type of men who really like to be surprised, but they trust that Jonathan knows what he’s doing.
The house is coming along pretty quickly and all of Jonathan’s ideas for this house have really come together. Some of the things on Tom and TJ’s wish lists were an office for TJ, Tom wanted a steam room and a shower with jets and they both really wanted an open concept, but they both have very different styles. I think Jonathan did a wonderful job in the end and Tom and TJ will love it! Are you ready to see it?
