Oh, and they also had 7 children.

In short, they've become the poster couple - poster family, really - of hip, eclectic do-it-yourself design. And it seems they're just getting started.

The Novogratz aesthetic is Brady-Bunch-meets-Jonathan-Adler, with plenty of pops of color, vintage works of art, quirky furniture, and a welcoming vibe.

Perhaps the best example of their style is their NYC West Village townhouse that was renovated and featured prominently on Bravo's show "9 by Design." Fans of the series will recognize the glass garage door that opens onto the living room, quirky chandeliers, and the huge black rug with "Family" written in large white letters. (Though it's yet to find a buyer for its $17.95 million price tag, supermodel Heidi Klum is staying there this summer.)

But it's not just Manhattan townhouses. The Novogratz clan has taken on worldwide projects, like flipping hotels in Woodstock, NY, restoring homes in Brazil, and making tons of money in brand sponsorships along the way.

The couples' passion for restoration and design has become their career, and the whole family is along for the ride.
