Home renovation sweethearts Chip and Joanna Gaines graced the TODAY show on October 23 to dish some life updates. As the couple’s eldest son Drake heads off to college, Joanna was excited to give his college abode the magic touch, but it turns out he was equally eager to flex his unique style.

Ahead of Chip’s 50th birthday, the Fixer-Upper hosts chatted about how quickly their children have grown.

Crew… now, he’s a 6-year-old little boy with all this energy and personality of his own. We’ve got a little boy that’s gone off to college. I mean, you guys understand all that, so here I am at 50 feeling wonderful, like, from a family standpoint.”

Kotb then asked the couple about Drake, who is in his sophomore year at university. And you’d think the 19-year-old would be flexing his mom and dad’s beloved interior decorating skills at his dorm. However, Joanna was keen to report that their son thought her adornments warranted some edits.

Joanna added, “Now it looks like a club.”
