Description

Husband and wife design duo Robert and Cortney Novogratz share their trade secrets and personal stories from over twenty-five years of buying, selling, and fixing up homes. With a foreword by Ree Drummond, The Pioneer Woman. Robert and Cortney Novogratz, stars of HGTV’s Home by Novogratz and Bravo’s 9 by Design, have transformed fabulous properties across the U.S. and around the world, including Hotel Dylan (Woodstock, NY), the Bungalow Hotel (Long Branch, NJ), and Timber Cove (Sonoma, CA), to name a few. They've also partnered with many celebrities and top retailers and had their work profiled in major national media outlets, from The New York Times to Architectural Digest, all while raising their family of seven children.​ They not only know how to run a successful and innovative design business but also how to balance work, family, and fun. The Novogratz Chronicles is their most intimate and personal book to date, taking readers on their journey from their first house renovation project in Chelsea in the 1990s to their latest home in Greenwich Village and projects in Los Angeles, Brazil, and the Berkshires. Eleven chapters explore and share their path to success, from thinking outside the box when financing, to building the right renovation team, to developing a design aesthetic and trusting your design instincts, interspersed with personal anecdotes and stories from their hands-on experiences. DIYers, HGTV fans, weekend warriors, and anyone interested in buying, selling, and renovating houses and spaces will love reading The Novogratz Chronicles and discovering the expertise that lies beyond their renowned how-to decorating prowess to inform and inspire their own renovation dreams and endeavors.​ Read more

I’ve followed this couple for a number of years through their journey and their latest book was worth the wait! Such an interesting story, such an inspiring and creative approach to their work. For any designers or designer wanna be’s like me, get this book!

  • A lifetime of experience
The difference between a house and a home is the addition of “life.” And it is the life / lived aspect of the novogratz designs and projects that really make this book so special and unique. And like real life , their projects are never in a straight line, often bobbing and weaving through the various challenges, giving their work a wonderful human texture. This book offers a beautiful peek behind the curtain into the personal experiences that influenced not only their projects/designs, but also the trajectory of their lives and family. ... show more

  • Memoir Plus Design is Interesting
I enjoy reading memoirs as well as books about home design. This book is a combination of both, so it was a good read for me. The authors started with very little money and no experience in construction as a young couple. They purchased and renovated a number of properties in NYC and LA over the years and also had their own HGTV show. If learning more about the design and renovation process is of interest to you, then you will enjoy this book. I received a complementary copy of the book from the publisher via NetGalley. ... show more

  • Amazing read!
I just finished The Novogratz Chronicles and I LOVED it! I first discovered the Novogratz family on their hit Bravo show and I really appreciate their authentic approach in this book. The writing style is conversational making it feel like you're sitting down with them for a long chat over coffee. They share personal stories about their lives and design journey, which I found rather inspiring. I do wish there were more stories about raising their kids! It must be such a fun and chaotic experience, and I would have loved to hear more about it. Overall, if you enjoy honest storytelling and creativity, this book is an amazing pick! ... show more

  • Disappointed
I was introduced to the Novogratz’s on their tv show years ago. Love their style, work ethic and family. Therefore I was excited to pre-order their book on Amazon. Why I only gave 2 stars is because the photos included in the book are in black and white and do not do justice to their awesome design.
