Design by 9 / Home by Novogratz

Did you ever catch that Design by 9 show on Bravo?  I remember seeing it and then it disappeared.. I didn't remember it until I was flipping through the channels and saw them on a new show on HGTV, Home by Novogratz.

I remember thinking their family situation was a little crazy (7 kids and they were flipping their home in NYC), but I like Cortney and Robert.  They are definitely quirky, but there is something I like about them.. they seem grounded or just not like other reality tv persona.  Something about them is "real", if that makes any sense :P

Just curious if anyone else caught their new show.  Their decorating style can be out there, but of course it makes the show interesting.

Re: Design by 9 / Home by Novogratz

  • I watch their new show, but find them more annoying than anything else. 

    I just feel like they try too hard and tell us too often that everything they do is innovative and hip.  They always do something that I think is good, then ruin it with something that seems like a cheap/tacky thing to throw in the mix. 

  • I caught the first two episodes but stopped watching after that.  I liked the show about their family, but this one bugged me. I don't really like most of their design, and the "Isn't that so awesome, Robert? It is, Cortney" got annoying fast.

    So true! I think they are hands down the worst designers I have ever seen (admittedly I've only seen 3 episodes, so maybe they were just spectacularly bad in those). 

  • I'm not crazy about their design aesthetic but I really can't get past their kids' names.

    This.

    They try way to hard to be "unique".

    Funny this was a post-I JUST ranted about how I am over HGTV (the Novogratz among others). They just seem to think their *** doesn't stink and if anything looks "normal" it sucks. I think they are pretty stuck up, actually. And what is with having to move all the time? I think they are just into themselves and the kids are along for the ride.

  • All those kids gave me anxiety.
