Sixx Design.....thanks for the book!
Yesterday was such a cool mailbox day! Thanks to Cristina for sending 'Downtown Chic' my way! This book is great! It's about a couple with 6 kids, who run a design firm called' Sixx Design'. They began their work more than 10 years ago by renovating old fixer-uppers in New York City (mainly Chelsea area). They had no idea this would lead to their extremely successful business, Sixx Design. I adore their style & their affinity to find amazing pieces of artwork. I highly recommend their book, 'Downtown Chic, if you love interiors & design as much as I do!
Looks like a cool book to me...
ReplyDeleteI agree! Buy what you love!! Don't worry about where it will go... You will find a spot, or make a spot for the things you care about :)
ReplyDeleteohh I'm so excited to get their book! Thanks for sharing! It's the first time I've gone to their site, and I just love their work!!
ReplyDeleteThat is so fun!!
ReplyDeleteHello, I have just found your blog and it is awesome! So inspirational! Amazing collection of everything beautiful! Really enjoying it!
ReplyDeleteThis book looks super fun. I am so picking this up.
ReplyDeleteI went the other day to get this book and Border's near did not carry it...only online. I'll have to try Barnes and Noble or Amazon.com. Amazing what they have done though and with six kids! hahaha
ReplyDeleteI LOVE Sixx design - I thought they were one of the most exciting, refreshing designers I'd seen in ages. I love the mix of periods, styles and lots of art and antiques.
ReplyDeleteThis is definitely a must read!
This book sounds fantastic!
ReplyDeleteI read about these two in the NY Times and think they're totally awesome. As if having six kids wasn't a job in itself...AND they're super stylish/innovative!
ReplyDeleteLove your blog...

ReplyDeleteI saw your kind compliment about "Basking Blue" on Laura Trevey's blog tonight and... I may be too late (many apologies if I am), but I thought I'd let you know that, I too, am holding a giveaway! But... it ends tonight at midnight (CA time). So... if you get this in time and would like to see if your luck is BIG enough to win both the photo and Laura's painting of it (or even just to enter to win "Basking Blue") just leave a comment on my latest blog post before Cinderella's carriage turns into a pumpkin!
And many thanks for your kind words!
