Bring in the noise
Confession: almost everyone on our team is obsessed with Home With Novogratz on HGTV. The couple living in Manhattan might be the coolest thing to happen to television in years. The DIY damage (homeowners ruining walls with horrid textures, bad colors, cheap plywood shelves, etc.) done by cable tv is being undone in a single swipe by the Novogratz who are the edgiest designers to make it to television ever. Are we biased? Yes, we’re fans. But one of the reasons we’re so obsessed with the show is that they are so brave with their design and they use incredibly bold statement pieces.
In almost every design, they throw in something vintage, and we are seeing vintage pieces with the hip designers in Austin, Boston, NYC, LA and Miami.
We love the following pieces found on Etsy.com handmade by independent artists at an affordable price, and we think they’re suitable for your office, a vacant listing, or a client’s new home.
Bring in the funk
