stylish school makeover
Wednesday, March 30, 2011
I just received these images of the Bounty sponsored "We Love Our School" classroom makeover designed by Cortney and Robert Novogratz and thought you might enjoy taking a peek. I was a fan of Bravo's 9 By Design, which chronicled this stylish husband/wife design team and their 7 kids as they flipped and transformed spaces in and around NYC with high art and a hefty dose of charisma. Bounty awarded the deserving Winegard Elementary School in Orlando, Florida $50,000 for the makeover. Check out the before and after shots.

Stay tuned for HGTV's Home By Novogratz debuting this summer!

What a great makeover! The look on the teacher's face is so touching. Thanks for sharing, Mary Jo! Hope you're doing well. xo
a beautiful transformation! I was re-reading Cortney and Robert Novogratz`s book this weekend. I like it a lot. Every time when I see a comment of you I'm so glad, Mary Jo. Your blog was one of the 1st I was reading long ago before I started my own blog 4-5 months ago. Now still the same...one of the 1st blogs I click when I'm online. It's a delight to visit you...warm hugs
Ohmigosh I so wish I was younger - I want this to be my classroom!
BTW...I received your e-mail, and have begun the search for the shoes. I will let you know ASAP if I find anything. :)
So FABULOUS!! It's incredible what they do - what a talented couple. I'll be looking for the show this summer!! So funny - you and I have been totally on the same page - I was just starting to research a school post!!
