Building and tinkering were such a huge part of our childhood, whether we were trying to entertain ourselves as kids, helping our parents out on the ranch, or getting creative with school projects.

I remember touring the Medici palace in Florence when I was younger and I was entranced by the beauty and elegance of every space.

In a bathroom choose a bold color pattern on the tile on a feature wall. Simple changes like that add a unique element that stands out.

I'm plastic so I will never age, but Jonathan definitely has an expiration date.

Take the time to educate yourself, whether you're house hunting, deciding on materials or looking for a lender. When homeowners jump into something blind, that's always when they make mistakes.

I wanted to be an actor as a kid, and a lot of people would tell you to be realistic, but from a young age, our parents really realized that Jonathan and I were so driven.

When a family buys a house, they know when it's the right one - the fixer upper where they can spend all their time and grow old together.

There are simple, small things you can do that really will impact the space. Things like changing out your curtain panels to something that adds a fresh new feel. Or maybe a smart pattern. Also swapping out an area rug, throws and pillows can be done in no time, and really have a dramatic effect.

Missing paperwork is one of the top reasons for delays during the mortgage process. I suggest following the two-by-two system: two most recent pay stubs, tax returns, W-2s from your employer, and bank statements from all of your savings and checking accounts. Be sure to remain clear and transparent, provide evidence of all forms of income.

Traveling is a major source of inspiration. There is so much to learn from history and different cultures.

Real estate funded our first creative endeavors as teenagers and we were doing what we do long before the show 'Property Brothers' was pitched.

I call my design style rustically modern. I like to take traditional or rustic features and fuse it into a more modern design.
