I was so beyond excited when I got my copy of Downtown Chic in the mail. It is more like Downtown Hotness to me, that is for sure! I mean anything created (including the children) by the two hot adults in the picture above has got to be amazing.
SixxDesign was started by husband and wife team Cortney and Robert Novogratz. It all started with their own home gut renovation and just blossomed from there. Their new book Downtown Chic chronicles several of their renovations with amazing photos and tips for anyone who wants to tackle projects like they do.
Most recently they have taken on an entire block of NYC and rebuilt it from the ground up- quite the task!
But, I would have to say that my most favorite photos from the book are from their Great Barrington, MA home. Maybe its because its in my home state...call me biased :)
Such a beautiful exterior!
Orange is the best color out there
Lovely pool for those hot summer days...not that they come often in MA, but they do come
perfect little bar area just waiting for some party guests
I love this hall and stairs...all the family photos are such a great display
Overall I give this book an A++ Its the perfect book for anyone young or old and it has a hot cover so it can live on your coffee table and be ever so chic sitting there.
If you want to see more pics from this amazing duo, check out their site SixxDesign HERE

You are right! Orange IS one of the best colors out there!!! ;-) It's one of my faves.
ReplyDeleteHey, you've got to admire any couple who has that many children and STILL have a fab looking house. Definitely inspirational!
Thanks so much for sharing this! I blogged about this family a few months ago, after they were featured in the NY Times Style section. Apparently they're shopping a reality TV-series (not sure if it's coming to fruition or not).
ReplyDeleteI have not read this book yet, but it looks like I may have to! those images are great! :) love all the vibrant colors on a white backdrop!!! and that wall with photo frames is stunning! :)
