The Novogratz Chronicles

Synopsis

Robert and Cortney Novogratz, stars of HGTV’s Home by Novogratz and Bravo’s 9 by Design, have transformed fabulous properties across the United States and around the world, including Hotel Dylan (Woodstock, New York), the Bungalow Hotel (Long Branch, New Jersey), and Timber Cove (Sonoma, California), to name a few. Their work has been profiled in major national media outlets from the New York Times to Architectural Digest, and they’ve partnered with many celebrities and top retailers, 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 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. The Novogratz Chronicles will inspire DIYers, HGTV fans, weekend warriors, and anyone interested in buying, selling, and renovating houses and spaces to pursue their own real estate dreams, informed and inspired by the decorating prowess of this renowned design couple.“Cortney and Robert are dynamic as a couple and a design team. They turned our archaic mountain home into a bright, lively space that our family continues to enjoy over ten years later. Viva Novogratz!”—Tony Hawk, skateboarder and entrepreneur
