Daniel's Top Tip
-
Bring photos of projects you’ve seen that you like (from magazines or online) – not only can I glean inspiration from those designs, but I can help you identify the consistencies between the spaces you like and really draw out what will define your dream cabinets.

Favourite Quote
Proverbs 3:6 – “In all thy ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct thy paths.”
Personal Style
Current Personal Dream Design:
Practicality is key with 6 kids, but lots of styles are beautiful; I Love stained wood; walnut and hickory (grain is more irregular and subtle than oak, with dark streaks and knots – more rustic country)
Happy this fad is over:
Golden oak, pickled maple, and pickled oak finishes
Hobbies
Current Hobbies:
Winter - recently rebuilt an old gas-engine with my son
Spring - gardening (tomatoes, black raspberries), making maple syrup
Summer – fishing at the cabin
Hobbies I'd Like To Resurface:
I’ve always enjoyed antique farm equipment; I own a 1949 tractor that I would love to strip down and reface. I also have an old wooden farm wagon that I have stripped down and started refinishing, but a lot of the wood parts were rotten so I need to rebuild them from the patterns.
Favourite Meal
To Cook:
Hearty farmer’s breakfast; grilling anything (would love to have a Green Egg someday!)
Late night snack:
Cereal
