review 1: Inspiring & beautiful! I've loved the Novogratz design aesthetic for years, and finally read this book. Each and every page has ideas, tips, quotations, and most importantly huge photographs displaying the work they've done. Their book is more or less chronological in showcasing the homes they've bought and remodeled. They never set out to have a career in home design/architecture, which is what makes their story so charming and amazing!
review 2: Finally, a design book that doesn't make you feel completely inadequate, impoverished or dumb! Downtown Chic is a gorgeous guide to design and style. Taking Bob and Cortney Novogratz through the various projects that brought them together as a design team and family you can see their style and aesthetic evolve in an
... more accessible, happy book that is a joy to read. The love and affection this family has for each other shines through on every page. Anyone, anywhere can embrace the message of this book which is that you don't have to be rich to have great taste. This will stay on my reading table for inspiration forever and will be a gift I give everyone! less
