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.​

This book was very interesting to me because it expanded on what I had seen from them on their TV shows. You got a lot more information and background which I liked. If you are looking for a new read I would definitely recommend!

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.

I've followed the Novogratz's on social for forever...do not sure why but I was hoping for more pictures in the book! This was a great story - they've lead a life! And so many kids. Fun 'pulling back the curtain' where they present, just as expected, cool and fun!
