What to expect from the season premiere of Buy It or Build It?
Episode 1 of Buy It or Build It aired on May 18, 2022, at 9.00 pm ET on HGTV. The official synopsis of the episode, titled One Happy Family Home, reads:
"A couple needs a new home for their growing family, but while a game room tops his wish list, she thinks a walk-in closet is more important. Chris and Calvin each work to turn their strict budget and tight deadline into a family home they'll both love."
For the first episode, couple Dominique and Darrian Campbell are looking for a house. The duo revealed that renovations in their existing home were taking a lot of time and money, hence the change.
Buy It or Build It host Chris first took them to a 1977-built house in Bent Tree, Dallas. While the couple was skeptical, the contractor showed them some great ideas for the kitchen, the closet, and the game room, all according to their liking. Their only issue was that the backyard wasn't big enough for their kid.
Taking that as an opportunity, Calvin showed them a brand new plot where they would build a brand new home, catering to all of their needs. Although that intrigued the couple, they still had an issue with the house having two stories because of Dominique's new injury that didn't allow her to climb stairs.
The couple eventually decided and went with Chris' idea to buy the 1977 Bent Treehouse. The duo revealed that saving $100,000 was a huge advantage, and the house was also in a lively neighborhood. So the twins got to make some excellent renovations.
While Chris took care of making renovations with the help of fellow contractor Michael, Calvin worked with expert designer Lindsey Walker to decide on the color of the tiles and the general tone of the house.
The duo managed to create a beautiful house under the couple's decided budget, with everything they envisioned. Dominique asked for a big closet, and Darrian wanted to have his own game room/bar/office, and the hosts got that done perfectly.
Tune in to Buy It or Build It next week on Wednesday, May 25, 2022, at 9.00 pm ET on HGTV for another exciting project.
