Danielle’s Brooklyn dream home
A couple of years ago, Danielle bought her dream New York townhouse so she and her boyfriend could “build a family.” She told People:
Getting to buy my first home has been a joy and such an accomplishment. It’s always something I wanted to do before 30. I moved a little further out so I could find a place I could build a family in and I could share.
When it came to designing her house, Danielle had help from designers Jeanine Hays and Bryan Mason, of AphroChic, who asked her what her house would sound like. Danielle responded by saying it would have a “jazzy Ella [Fitzgerald] meets Jay-Z meets Bob Marley-type feel.”
Danielle is also host of new Netflix show Instant Dream Home, which launches on August 10.
