Vintage Nouveauxxx: Cortney & Robert Novogratz's Summer Home

060209_hills00.jpgSixx Design owners Cortney and Robert Novogratz are about to welcome us into their lives, thanks to a new show on Bravo airing in January. But before all the hype starts, we wanted to share these photos of their gorgeous summer home that really does mix it up: Modern art, contemporary furnishings, flea market finds, and antiques play nice together...along with seven kids! Check out some photos of this fascinating home after the jump...

I need to find out what color orange they used in the 1st photo. Love the shade, and have been looking for something just like it....

Nice. Very nice. And I've always LOVED that "now" vintage Madonna photograph -- which first graced the cover of a CD maxi-single way, way back in 1993... "bad girl / drunk by six / kissing some kind of stranger's lips / smoked too many cigarettes today / i'm not happy...i'm not happy...this way-ay-ay-ay..." Sorry. Feeling nostalgic...
