The Property Brothers’ Latest Project Is Really Special
By Movieguide® Contributor
“The Property Brothers,” Jonathan and Drew Scott, took on a personal project recently when they renovated their parent’s new home as they moved across international borders to be closer to their kids.
“We wanted our parents to feel just as much at home here as they did at their ranch in the Canadian Rocky Mountains,” the brothers wrote in the September/October edition of HGTV Magazine. “So, we tailored the home perfectly to them.”
The home is a Spanish-style bungalow originally built in 1928. The brothers, however, revamped it to feel modern while remaining true to the original style.
The rooms highlighted in the article include a music room and art studio — to aid their parents’ artistic passions — a front porch perfect for spending hours on, a beautiful open living room with a fireplace focal point, a stylish dining room and bar nook, a chic master bedroom and an amazing backyard with a back patio made to be their parent’s oasis.
“They couldn’t be happier, and we’re so thrilled with this project that we filmed the whole reno process for our new show, DON’T HAVE YOUR HOUSE WITH THE PROPERTY BROTHERS,” they wrote.
In recent years, Jonathan and Scott have been able to take a step back from their careers and focus on their families, something they have really enjoyed. Drew shares two kids with his wife, Linda, while Jonathan is stepfather to his fiancé, Zooey Deschanel’s, kids.
“Part of being a great dad is being a really great partner,” Jonathan said in the summer of 2023. “Doing thoughtful things…it doesn’t matter if it’s big or small, but spending time connecting and finding out what their needs are, even if those duties shift back and forth.”
With their newly renovated home, the property brothers’ parents can now spend much more time with their kids and their grandkids.
Movieguide® previously reported on Jonathan and Drew’s work-life balance:
Twin Brother’s and HGTV Starts Drew and Jonathan Scott opened up about their work-life balance after the start of Scott Brothers Entertainment.
Jonathan told The Hollywood Reporter, “A lot of people don’t realize the scope of our business — that we produce as many other shows as we do or actually manufacture 10,500 different products.”
With Scott Brothers Entertainment, the duo produces all of their own shows. However, at the start, they were just on-air talent.
Drew stated, “Jonathan and I started pitching ourselves to the networks in Canada. One of the network heads said, ‘You guys are great, I like your ideas, but we’d never give money to you. We need to give it to a trusted production company.’ We found one — but then, as we grew and learned production, we ended up buying the IP for our brand and starting our own production company [Scott Brothers Entertainment].”
