The husband-and-wife design team, hosts of HGTV's Home by Novogratz, share their design techniques while reviewing their previous commissions, including the homes of professional skateboarder Tony Hawk and singer-songwriter Suzanne Vega. For each of the 20 projects, the Novogratzs provide before-and-after views of the space (unfortunately multiroom remodels are limited to a one-room before-and-after photo), a floor plan of the finished residence, interviews with artists and manufacturers whose work appears in the new design, a brief explanation of a how-to project, and the budget. A list of resources rounds out the information. VERDICT The do-it-yourselfer will find an abundance of inspiration in the 500-plus color photographs and will get a realistic idea of the process and cost involved in remodeling and redecorating.
