Alrighty, kids: Those cabinets y’all love? Daniel worked on the living room for those lucky folks as well. They’re the Brooklynites that want our man to “Danielfy” their place. Love it! (Oh, by the way, the cabinets are in the kitchen. More work/views from the kitchen coming soon!)

Disclaimer: I’m really pissed at Daniel. He didn’t take full before photos for this project; he’s already repainted the walls in the “before” photos below. I’m going to send him hate mail later from an anonymous account.

Anywho, let’s take a look at these semi-before photos, in which Daniel has already painted the walls different shades of grey:

A lovely place to start, yes, but wait til you see how it looks now!

If you’ve visited this blog before, perhaps you’ve caught onto some of Daniel’s design sensibility and advice: Start with a basic, neutral palette, then slowly add color. He’s, like, an artiste! A respectful one who uses VOC-free, water-based apoxy paint, because this client is preggers and apparently that VOC stuff is toxic. (Whoa, news flash, “normal” paint is toxic?*)

Naturally, next up, Daniel hit the floors:

Now let’s take a look at the final product:

And BAM! Christmas was last month. I wouldn’t know, because I’m Jewish, so I got socks and Lipton tea bags (true story– hi, mom!), but I hear it’s pretty festive. Apparently, these guys know how to do it up right. Maybe they’ll invite me (and Daniel?) next year.

Title moment: Where’s my stocking??

*Daniel says to always use environmentally-friendly paint. Aw. Look at him caring about fetuses and the planet.

Sure, sure, it’s the high holy days and stuff, but I could totally contemplate life’s meaning sitting in this chair. And the Jewish new year. And things I’ve done this past year that I do or do not regret or whatever else it is I’m supposed to be doing right now.

Plus, these pictures are totally… SWEET. Get it? Eh? Am I the only one?

Have a happy, healthy, sweet new year, y’all.

I know, I know, I’ve been totally delinquent with posting. Believe it or not, I actually have other things going on aside from being obsessed with Daniel’s work. Just kidding! But really.

So here we are, post-”hurricane” and everything! Stay tuned for a few more Jersey posts, followed by a small but delightful project on the UWS, our home-base!

Ta-da! Living room before & after shots!

[Fun fact: I'm sitting here at a cafe with a friend and she just turned to me and said "I'd move to New Jersey for that." If that isn't a rave review, I don't know what is.]

New Jersey is dull

I will not go there unless

Daniel fixes it.

Another pretty slideshow for the second bedroom!

Same process as the master bedroom. Enjoy!

If someone asked me to re-decorate this place, I would probably just get a vacuum and hang a poster. But (guess who!) Daniel decided to remove a hundred-some staples, get rid of the carpet completely, and paint the whole damn place different shades of white. You know what that is, fools? VISION. Also, abominable snowmen.

Pretty slideshow!

Also, did you notice the copper rods and curtains again? No baptizing this time though, because Scandinavia is not in France.

TO THE WINDOW, TO THE WALL! TO THE SWEAT-

OH! Hey there. Sorry, wrong blog. This was about to get awkward. (By the way, I just figured out what those lyrics REALLY mean. Late bloomer here. But I digress.)

As you can tell, this wallpaper ended up where it belongs (hint: not the floor), for a totally new look. Woot!

P.S. I’m so punny!

So, when this elusive Daniel guy talks about this one, he keeps calling it Chevron. All I know is that he took some tape and made this wall real damn pretty. I think I’ll use a slideshow for this one, cuz that sounds fun for everyone.
