Let’s Move In!

Posted in Rooms: Before and After, Walls, tagged , , , , , , , , on August 29, 2011 | 1 Comment »

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.]

Follow the dirty brick road.

So, this is what Daniel had to work with. (Ew! I hate ending sentences with a preposition. But I sound like a jerkface if I write “This is with what Daniel had to work.” Anywho, I digress.) Pretty standard blah blah. Again, consistency + vision = remove carpet + patchpatchpatch + primeprimeprime + paintpaintpaint. OMG! I should have been a mathematician. Instead of… whatever it is that I am…

GROSS.

GROSSER.

JEALOUS.

White-Out

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.

Don’t try this at home.

I mean, YOU shouldn’t try this at home, but you should definitely let Daniel do it.

More full views! Yay! Don’t forget to circle what’s different!

I would never lie to you.

Wait, for REALS? This is the SAME apartment?! WHAT! How many of these posts do I have to write before Daniel re-does MY apartment and I post my bedroom all over this bloggity blog and men line up to see me because, in addition to being kind of “snarky” (as my friend Brian may have described me), I’m trendy and delightful and full of sunshine?

French Windows=Totally Pimp

Wait, seriously, people, this one blew my mind a little. I mean, when he showed me the “during” pictures, I was like “Dude, Daniel, that’s gonna look like a jail.” OK, honestly, I said that in my head and not out loud. But then… BAM! He showed me the final photo, which you should totally scroll down to see. THEN he told me how he did it:

  • 30-cent dowels from Michael’s. WTF is a dowel? Who knows, but even I could afford that. I wouldn’t know what the hell to do with it though, so I’d have to call Daniel.
  • Then he killed a horse, made glue, and stuck those persnickety little dowels together.
  • Then he painted.
  • OK, those curtains. (Have you scrolled down yet? Now scroll back up. Look at those curtains. Now look at me. Those are the curtains that your curtains could look like.) So apparently he bought $14 cotton curtains from IKEA and soaked them in water. Who comes up with that? Not me. When they dried, they looked like French linen. Or something like that. Tell me you don’t love that final photo. Go on, leave a comment and tell me.

Game time

Remember when you were a kid and you used to hold printed things in your hands, and also you played this game where you circled what was different between two pictures? This is kind of like that, for really stupid children.

Beat-up dresser gets some love

Posted in Furniture, tagged , , , , , , , , , , on May 12, 2011 | Leave a Comment »

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.
