Earlier this year, the interior design world experienced a great loss with the passing of designer Daniel Clancy. Based in Michigan, Daniel frequently worked in Palm Beach, and I am a huge fan of his elegant, traditional, timeless style. In remembrance of his exceptional talent, today I am sharing a few highlights of his work, along with two home tours from Florida Design.
Such exquisite talent. Daniel will forever be included amongst my favorite interior designers. You may recall I featured his Grosse Pointe, Michigan home last month, which is currently for sale. It is hands down one of the most beautiful homes I have ever seen, and I would like to move right in. Click here to see more.
Daniel Clancy was an elegant gentleman who was known for his warmth, kindness, compassion, and witty charm along with his love for his family and friends. His work was featured on HGTV and in publications including House Beautiful, W Magazine, Travel and Leisure, Palm Beach Magazine, and Florida Design. Detroit Monthly Magazine named him “Designer of the Year.” Daniel was also generous with his time and talents, working on historical projects and decorating rooms for some of the Junior League of Detroit Designers’ show houses. He will be forever missed.

Dear Andrea,
What a lovely and loving tribute to Mr. Clancy.
I still recall seeing that yellow dining room in Florida Design, and still have the tear sheet in my files. Such talent is not often seen.
Perfect. Perfect. Perfect. Perfect. Perfect. Each room more beautiful than the last. What a talent. And what a great loss to the design world. We need more like him. Thanks so much for sharing.
Such majestic windows and impressive window treatments. And those water views are unbeatable!
Ohhh, I love that pink too. So flattering to everyone and so pleasing. Beautiful post !!
I love the wicker he used in that second to last post Andrea. He seems like he was a wonderful guy….thank you for covering it so beautifully Xo
Those rooms were so beautiful. I wish we saw more interiors like those featured. At the core of all of these rooms have such elegance while still giving the eye delight. Too many interiors mistake being monochromatic and simple for being elegant. Thank you Andrea for a lovely post.
