You know designer Hilary Farr, 65, from her HGTV show Love It or List It, in which she and realtor costar David Visentin, 52, help clients decide what to do with their existing homes. On Monday, May 7 at 9 p.m. ET, the duo will return for a new season of their show and "to rid the world of hideous pink paint and past-their-prime small appliances," Hilary says.

Once again, while Hilary redecorates the houses, David will look for other options on the market in an attempt to either get the clients to, as the title implies, "love it or list it."
