“That would be disturbing,” he quipped.
“I mean, it’s crazy enough as it is.”

While Curtis worked closely with an interior designer, she was very hands-on throughout the process.
“I can now proudly say that I’m finished with this house forever,” Curtis told AD.
Guest, on the other hand, described their home as “a work in progress.
