One of my design projects...Shameless self promotion!

This information comes directly from my website, www.DaddysHomeInc.com

I am re-posting it here because it's so much easier to update things here so tell all your friends - especially those in need of design help.

How do we get the most out of the limited amount of space that we all seem to have?
Daddy’s Home, Inc. can help you overcome any of the storage and living space challenges you might have.

We will consult with you to determine what your personal needs are and offer suggestions that will make your home or workplace comfortable, organized and beautiful. Then, after those design decisions have been made, we can do the hands-on work to make them happen.
• Your home
• Our discerning eye
• Our workmanship

Steven Stein-Grainger

Steven has an eye for the beauty of his surroundings and an aptitude for the creation of order and aesthetic excellence where none existed before.

With a background, education and experience in interior design, theatre, costume and lighting design, he has found beauty in, and gathered inspiration from the environments in which we all choose to surround ourselves.

Being somewhat of a renaissance man, Steven has combined his design skills, his eye for space and balance and his abilities in hands-on work in upholstery, paint and color application and basic construction methods to give his clients the personalized attention that they and their spaces deserve.

Daddy’s Home, Inc. has become, for him, a rare opportunity to bring a level of comfort, beauty and order to many people that have needed a catalyst for their own creative instincts while providing them with guidance and ideas to make their homes and offices more efficient, more comfortable and more beautiful.

Steven did a great job of organizing my one bedroom apartment. He came up with creative ideas within my budget and was tremendous in putting a sense of order back into my life after a chaotic year.

Steven,
I am forever grateful for the fact that you saved my tenuous sanity when I was dismantling my apartment for painting and then reassembling it! You may remember that in a halllucinatory moment I thought, as a 107 lb woman, that I could move everything myself; I called you in tears, and you really saved my life and my sanity. That time is coming around again and I will be in touch!
Thanks again for your hard work and your patience with me

RECENT PROJECTS:

This client purchased a one bedroom apartment in a classic prewar building on the Upper West Side of New York with the intent of having a pied a terre in the city for weekends and holidays. Already owning a home outside the city where he worked, he was interested in a chic, beautiful and new space so he needed EVERYTHING. We proceeded to provide him with all that was necessary from top to bottom.. all of the painting, renovations, color palette, furniture, artwork, housewares, window treatments, linens and accessories were discussed, purchased, built and finished for him to move in to a fully functional and beautiful space.

Quite a challenge given the time and funding restraints, but with smart shopping, building rather than buying and careful planning the apartment went from completely empty to comfortable and stylish.

Valances were fashioned for the windows, a headboard for the bed, the floor of the kitchen that might someday be replaced was painted with industrial floor paint and then the grout hand colored (on hands and knees) with thick permanent marker.Cabinets were painted out and a new medicine chest replaces the original that was six inches wider than the new one. A little plastering never killed anyone!

His pottery collection has a home as do the baskets and masks and other artifacts that mean so much to him.

More projects to come. If you want to know how to accomplish any of these things, feel free to get in touch.
