How energetic should you be if you had 7 kids under the age of 13, including two sets of twins? How organized should you be if you changed about 7 houses in New York, moving into a new house with every new child? How cool should you be to turn your life into a profitable business making a reality show out of it?
And how should a lucky couple look like after going through all this ordeal? Well, here they are .......
the incredible Robert and Courtney Novogratz
They have been all over internet, magazines and TV programmes, so I could copy paste some information about them, in case you haven't already heard.
- They renovate derilict houses all over New York and then sell them for a profit of a few millions.
- They live in a newly decorated home and then sell it, to make profit, moving all their possesions and children to another house.
- Neither of them was trained as a designer or an architect. They are self-taught designers who have been doing this for 15 years. They have done 9 buildings in New York as well as many other projects.
- They have written a book "Downtown Chic" about the whole decorating thing.
- They have 7 kids and they live a hip, glamorous life in a fabulous, spacious, art-filled house, which has magically uncluttered surfaces.
- They have their own reality show, just to show how all this is possible.
- And here is the whole family
How should a house with (goat mother and) 7 kids look like?
Full of toys, scattered clothes all over the floor,
some baby trolleys or prams in the near vicinity?
Well, here is the kitchen...
and daddy working at a tidy, uncluttered desk....
and some of the kids playing nicely at the same desk...
and a baby playing with some well designed toys on a rug in the living room.....
well, there are no kids in the nursery...
Funny, there are no kids in this room either.
Where is the baby number 7? The crib is empty.
Hey, found it in the study!
The bedroom and the bed - they'd better be empty ...
Designers deck chairs are also empty.
Wonder how often you can enjoy the view
Wonder how often you can enjoy the view
with
seven children around?
This is a picture from one of their previous homes.
I also wouldn't be sorry to leave something like this and
move to another house ...
that has a cool garage door like this
and a bigger shoe closet...
In between moving houses, they might write another book....
where they will tell us the secret of living in uncluttered rooms ....
and tidy kids' rooms....
Ha! Got ya! There are some toys in the living room!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you are interested in finding out more about this couple and their hip life, read about them here or visit their website (where I often go, just to listen to wonderful tunes of Here Comes The Sun - correction - I used to go, because, quelle domage, they've changed the tune!!! ) or watch the audio slide show NEW BABY, NEW HOUSE here .
By the way .....
They gave themselves a name, Sixx Designs, in honor of their children. (Despite Major’s birth in January, there are no plans to change the name to Seven — or Sevven — they say. “The Jackson 5 were never the same after they became the Jacksons.”)
