Drew is a shopaholic. He must have 400 suits and 180 pairs of shoes. I have three pairs of jeans, and that's it. I shop in his closet and take anything I want.

Open-faced, traditional, wood-burning fireplaces are very inefficient.
I think when you are young and you don't really know what you want in life, you can commit to something and think at the time it is right.
With my own home, I feel like I'm the mechanic who drives a crappy car. I never have time to work on my own home.
I'm not big on chemicals, and I like to try to do things as natural as possible.
There's always people trying to do something to make a quick buck. But, if you plan on the long game, you can essentially guarantee success if you're willing to put in the work and if you surround yourself with the right team.
We're the house that's playing Christmas music by November 1.
I don't really watch TV. I don't have time.
We love meeting fans face to face.
I remember, this one time, one of my best friends was living with us for a little while, this place we were renovating. We got back, we'd been cleared out. The place had been robbed. They must have backed up trucks to get the appliances. And our buddy was still sleeping.
Buyers look at everything. They open every drawer. They open every cabinet door. So make sure your underwear is folded nicely.
I'll admit that I enjoyed my 20s more than my teens, my 30s more than my 20s.
Paint and new flooring are simple refreshers. But it's not worth it to update all the kitchen cabinets if it's still the same bad layout.
Justin Timberlake is one of our style icons - he does both formal and casual perfectly.
I love classic Christmas. I love just warmth and a little bit of glam. You gotta have the silvers and the golds and what not, but I go a little overboard.
Hiking, scuba diving - I just love getting out and doing things.
People think because you're a celebrity, because you're on TV, because you're 'People Magazine''s Sexiest Men Alive, things like that, that we're bathing in champagne and taking limos door to door. But we're literally the same guys, just with much busier schedules.
There's no reason your outdoor furniture should look like cheap plastic that will blow over or break in two seconds.
I've only ever seen a couple tiny home spaces that are actually a clever use of space.
I'm usually able to reuse at least 50 percent of the clients' furniture. Most times, I'll just clean it up, make it look like new, and that's the best way to save money.
Drew is the most competitive man on the planet. It doesn't matter if we're running to the car: he has to get there first.
The main thing for me is that anything I design, I try to design it with just a little bit of pizzazz, something that's going to allow the family to stay home and enjoy the space as opposed to necessarily having to always go to a park or something.
Drew was a director, and I'm a magician.
When people suggest we like to 'dream big'... they're absolutely right.
I'm a magician. A lot of people don't know that I've won awards. I used to do big stage shows.
I was born, and the doctor left. And then the nurse is like, 'Doctor, I think there's another one.'
I literally learned everything I could try to do to get a date, and it did not work when I was younger. I heard people love musicians, so I took up the bagpipes.
When buyers see the pride of ownership - when they come in, and they're impressed by how clean the place is - they can picture their kids playing on the floor. They can picture the family sitting around the table. When they can picture their own family in that space, instantly you grab them, and they'll pay more money, too.
I want to ride a unicorn.
A good laundry room with storage can make life easier.
We really find that most houses we look at - that are really rough around the edges - most of those are actually diamonds in the rough. They could be beautiful, and it just takes a little creativity and having the right people on board.
Drew pretty much eats all gluten free. I go for flavor over cardboard.
I don't trust people who don't like dogs.
I'm very good at relaxing.
You don't need a great green thumb in order to make something look nice. A lot of times, it's just about cleaning up the weeds and trimming back the shrubs.
Anyone who has been through failed relationships - even people in successful relationships - understand that you gain perspective about what is important to you.
I went back to college for construction and design.
There have been some clients who have said, 'In order to compete, I'm going to put a pool in and then sell the house.' That's a terrible idea.
We were always thinking big, dreaming big - no project was too big for us to tackle, and that comes from how we were raised. Our parents actually said to us, 'If somebody says you can't do something, find five ways to do it.'
We have always been dreamers, and we are admittedly overachievers, and coming out of high school, we didn't want to be struggling artists.
I think that's one of the biggest things people don't understand: a clean house will sell faster.
We started out as actors. When we were coming out of high school, we didn't want to be struggling actors, and - I remember the conversation - we were like, 'Let's invest in real estate!'
What we've found is that there's a real gap between what people see and love for their home and actually pulling the trigger and making it happen. One of the biggest problems is people are afraid to make the wrong purchase.
The big message I give to all of our clients, and anyone we lecture to, is you have to be smart with your money.
I love to laugh. A sense of humor is really important.
I don't make my bed. At the end of a day of going to construction sites, the last thing I want to do is move 10 pillows off the bed.
We stay on top of design styles and aren't afraid to take on new challenges.
I am a Christmas nerd. Christmas is my favorite holiday.
I'm four minutes older. Of all the competitions in our life, I won the first one. Though Drew is a quarter inch taller.
As comfortable as I am being single, nothing beats sharing your happiness with someone you love.
