You need to have a home to go back to, whether it's a hotel room or a barn. It's only home when he's there.

Like I said, TLC has enough of my life. I have to keep some of it for myself.

Design can have such a positive impact on the way people live and on their relationships and moods.

So, to really execute design in its highest form and making people feel joy, that's a great reward.

So, like I said, I will visit Jeffersonville more often because I now have a little getaway house up there.

That was always my frustration with so many of these shows, because design is not an ambush... it's a relationship. You have to know how people move and live and work to be able to design for them.

The hardest part of the show is saying goodbye when it's all done. It really breaks you.
