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.

“WHAT?!” you say, “Where have you BEEN, Alli-girl? How dare you tempt and tease us with timely updates on Daniel’s every move, replete with darling photographs, and then disappear, you little seductress!”

I know, I know. I apologize, dear reader. But, more importantly, where has Daniel been? Or rather, where has he NOT been?

  • Daniel has been consulting on a PIZZA SHOP! Omg, delicious. He helped turn an old shoe and purse store into a rustic pizza shop with slat hardwood flooring that matches the ceiling and walls. He supplied weird ideas to make it look all antique, like instructions on how to treat the wood with lye and stain it. No, I don’t have any pictures yet. Yes, you’ll have to settle for the one below.
  • Our little superstar did a bit of consulting on a home in NJ. I know, New Jersey again. Yuck. I have no idea if there will be any pictures from this.
  • He’s consulting on a brownstone in Brooklyn! My favorite part so far is that the lovely couple hired him for one room and then asked him to “Danielfy” the rest of the place! DANIELFY! Maybe one day it will even show up without that squiggly red spellcheck line under it. I hate that squiggle. Thinks he knows more than the rest of us. Pictures definitely coming soon!

And now for some amazing news! Daniel… wait for it… wait… are you ready? You might want to sit down for this. Oh, right, you’re at your computer, so you’re probably already sitting.

He has started designing more than apartments! I’ll give you a moment to jump for joy. OK. You back? You sitting back down now? Daniel has started designing SUITS. Which means that you can DANIELFY YOUR BODY. You can learn more at bindleandkeep.com, and I’ll probably add a tab on this here site soon.

Be back soon, I promise! Kisses!

It’s a groundhog eating pizza! I wonder if he bought it at Daniel’s shop.

One day, Daniel went to a flea market in Brooklyn, and bought this piece-o-crap. But then he talked to this girl whose apartment he was redoing (some might call her a “client,” but formal-talk scares me) and painted it and it came out looking all Anthropologie-esque. She loves it and uses it for all sorts of dresser-y things.
