Item description from seller

176 Seiten, mostly colored fotos. Sehr guter Zustand / very good condition. When Robert and Cortney Novogratz began a gut renovation of a derelict town house in New York City's then unfashionable Chelsea neighborhood more than ten years ago, they had no idea that in addition to building a home, they were embarking on a new business. Navigating the endless challenges in undertaking such an ambitious project with no experience and little money proved harder than they anticipated, but by the end of the process, the design-sawy couple realized they had a knack for creating fantastically unique, high-style homes on a budget. In their first book, the couple offers up a treasure trove of real-world, "from-the-trenches" advice on how to create stylish, family-friendly homes with ease. One part practical guide, one part inspirational volume (with plenty of humor thrown in for good measure) on building and decorating your dream home, the book considers seven of the couple's projects, from town houses in New York City to a country house in rural Massachusetts to a beach house in Brazil. Lots of before and after shots document the pleasures and pitfalls part of any gut renovation, as well as revealing the design duo's vision and remarkable ability to see through the most awful spaces to the amazing home that lies within. With each project, they prove time and again you can bring charm to any four walls--and do so affordably. Just a sample of the some of the tips and advice you will find inside include: Tips for buying a wreck: whal lo consider when buying the ultimate "fixer-upper". Hiring your renovation team: explanation of whom you will need and whal to ask when hiring them. Creating a plan before you renovate, as well as a wish list (your top five or len "must haves" for the new house, either structural or cosmetic). Decorating with flea market and boulique finds: the keys to mixing high and low. Advice for building a roof deck f-low to build simple home theaters, bars, and game rooms Advice for installing a pool, and another kid favorite--an in-ground trampoline. Ideas for how lo use vinltge artifacts lo bring instant character to your house. How to build a second home that pays for itself. Creating kids' rooms that appeal to kids and adults.
