A Bright and Beautiful Home Satisfies One Couple's Conflicting Styles
In a perfect world, all couples would have the same design vision. But sometimes, tastes clash – which is where the art of compromise comes into play. On Property Brothers, new parents George and Jenn (who also happen to be major decor aficionados), couldn't agree on any decor decisions beyond having plenty of windows and enough space to entertain. So it was up to Jonathan Scott to hunt down the perfect fixer upper, which involved transforming an asbestos-filled space into a safe and stylish abode under a time crunch unlike any other. Here's what he came up with.

Jonathan underscored the living room's fresh look by sticking to neutral-coloured furniture and adding plenty of natural wood elements.Property BrothersA Bright and Beautiful Home Satisfies One Couple's Conflicting StylesLight and Bright
