\n\t\t<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n\t\t\tOver the years, the hosts and personalities on various HGTV series have been outspoken about their relationships. Tarek El Moussa and Christina Haack\u00a0made a splash on the network\u00a0when\u00a0their\u00a0show\u00a0Flip or Flop\u00a0debuted in April 2013, chronicling their property flips in Southern California and their family life as a then-married couple and parents of two.

Another trend they used in their Savannah home is painting cabinets, adding a pop of green color to their kitchen.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf they are in pretty good condition and you can sand them down and put an extra coat of paint,\u201d Mika advised. \u201cI mean, cabinets are not cheap. So, if you can repurpose them, do it.\u201d<\/p>\n
One definite ditch? Word signs inside the home that say things like \u201cLive, Laugh, Love.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIf we\u2019re talking about the interior of the house, I don\u2019t need words everywhere. I like to read books, not directions of where my rooms are,\u201d Mika said, while Brian chimed in, \u201cYou don\u2019t need to know the kitchen is the kitchen.\u201d<\/p>\n
Although the couple admitted one exception is word signs outside in the yard, which can look \u201ckind of cool.\u201d<\/p>\n
The husband and wife are fans of open design homes and using the internet, such as Instagram or Pinterest, to find decor ideas. Brian and Mika also saw eye-to-eye when it came to minimalism versus maximalism decor.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m going to go with a less is more kind of approach. I think minimalist because then everything is intentional. It looks clean, it\u2019s not cluttered, it doesn\u2019t feel overwhelming,\u201d Mika said, which Brian agreed: \u201cI\u2019m a minimalist, as well, so I think you take your minimalism to the max. There you go and that\u2019s a design. So, we\u2019re going to fold that in half. That\u2019s how you do it.\u201d<\/p>\n
As the closing choice, Mika joked that she would \u201cdesign\u201d her husband \u201cas a person\u201d \u2014 but ditch his wardrobe.<\/p>\n
Brian and Mika will be channeling their creative energy in 100 Day Hotel Challenge,<\/em> a head-to-head beach renovation competition series that focuses on transforming two dated hotels in the city of Salter Path, North Carolina, in just 100 days and a budget of $225,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThank You!<\/h3>\n
