Start Your Weekend With GIVEAWAY TIME AGAIN {With Nine-By-Design Style!}


So have YOU watched the latest large-family themed reality show,
Nine By Design on Bravo?

On ultra hip NYC couple + 7 kids + a booming urban design/reno biz =
HIT REALITY TV SHOW.

Just starting with the parents - Robert & Cortney Novagratz...
youth and model-looks plus impeccable fashion sense meets even keener interior and architectural design sense 
combining to create a crazy-successful real estate development biz not just in the
chic-est areas of NYC, but worldwide.

Together they've been transforming derelict buildings/spaces into jaw-dropping
new living quarters which they flip and move on.

Can I name drop for a moment?  
Yes... indulge me...
:)

You may remember last year The Beautiful Life was commissioned 
to make a custom versions of our
Mathematicus numbers pillows - 
they requested their pillows be embroidered with a room number for each of the guest rooms in their fabulous,
newly renovated boutique hotel on the Jersey shore -- 
-- featured as one of
Elle Decor's top 10 Chic Hotels.  
We blogged about it HERE




What a fun project that was!!
It was about the time we dealt with Sixx Design last year (April) that they were expecting their
first book to be unveiled - aptly named Downtown Chic.


They mentioned it to me and I got on the pre-order list with Amazon
so that as soon as it was out, I got one!
{The book is now sold out on Amazon!}

The book is full of practical tips for redoing your space, but also gives you a bit of a peek
into the lives of this uber-hip family and their homes.







WHICH BRINGS ME TO MY GIVEAWAY!

How would you like to win a copy of this book??

What better timing, with their new show in full swing and their names as hot as ever in the media....
you can get your hands on this beautiful, inspirational and intimate book about the dynamic
design duo (and their 7 kiddos).   

Leave a comment on this post for an entry.

Want another shot at winning?  Feel free to blog about the giveaway!
(And let me know you did).  :)

I'll announce the winner next week on Wednesday 
(no particular reason for Wednesday -- I just can't stand long waits, so 
an entire week was WAY too long for me!! )
;)

You do not have to have a blog to enter, but I will need SOME way to contact you 
if you win, so PUHLEEZE, pretty please, leave me your email address if you comment
under "anonymous".  Okay?   

Have a super weekend as we near the end of May and (GULP) inch closer 
toward June.  That's just crazy!   HOW can it be almost half a year is over??

Before long, it will be time for the July buying markets where it will be all about Christmas! 
WHAT?????   It amazes me every year...

Okay, peeps -- let me hear from you on this post if you would like a shot at this 
FUNKY-FAB book by those FABBY-HIP Novagratz's!   
:)

Stay cool!
