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.

For this post, I would like to share how our favorite little monkey took some vintage cloth wire and tied it up in knots and somehow it came out looking like the awesome chandelier below. With a dimmer for sexy time. And by sexy time, maybe I mean dinner parties? Actually, this is New York, so let’s face it: your dining room table is probably on top of your bed, which is one of the many reasons you need Daniel to deal with your space. (Did you know he can move walls? I’m not kidding! We’ll deal with that in a future post.) Also because if you tried to do this yourself, hypothetically speaking you might accidentally drill a hole through a wire and then your lights will stop working and you’ll have to call the electrician. This definitely did not happen to me last week.

Let’s save ourselves an awkward visit from the super, shall we?

Which one do you like more?

So apparently this girl wanted a Mad Men for the ladies kind of feel.

1) Ah, the sweet smell of success!

2) Daniel needs to set me up on a friend-date, STAT.

3) Meet me by the bar.
