Book offers an inside look
Husband-and-wife designers Robert and Cortney Novogratz share the thought process behind their hip home-decorating style in their new book, “Home By Novogratz.”
The couple, stars of an HGTV show by the same name, offers a look at 20 homes they’ve redecorated for clients, including skateboarder Tony Hawk. All the homes showcase the Novogratzes’ signature style, which is contemporary, innovative and often playful.
The book outlines their clients’ wishes, briefly explains the redecorating process for each project and even includes budget breakdowns. “Ask the expert” interviews are sprinkled in, further explaining aspects of the project or giving readers tips and insights.
“Home By Novogratz” is published by Artisan Books and sells for $35 in hardcover.
