26 ARCADIA HOME SUMMER 2008 Collector’s Haven D anny Sharaby designed his home with only functionality and comfort in mind. Even his children were consulted to determine their needs prior to drafting any plans. Designer Laurel Pfannenstiel of Palka Pfannenstiel completed the bulk of the project with Linda Sharaby of Chestnut Lane Interiors finishing the remainder. Compromises were made and creative license was taken to translate this shake roof, ranch-style home into exactly what would best serve the needs of his family. The goal was to create a comfortable open space for entertaining while still showcasing Danny’s extensive art collection. Danny came to Phoenix from New York City in pursuit of a law degree from ASU. While in college, he started selling tickets as a way to pay for his education. Ironically, he would never use that law degree, since his part-time job evolved into Tickets Unlimited. As a broker, he would sometimes work out trade deals for tickets. One day, a trade was bartered with a local artist. This began Danny’s passion for art, and today his house hosts many world-renowned artists, including Carlos Almaraz, Fritz Scholder, Hank Murta Adams and Phil Curtis. Entering the crimson arched doorway, sundry furnishings set the stage for the best close up and personal art review in all of Arcadia. In fact, the living room looks more like a gallery with decorative pieces carefully chosen to complement the collection. Furnishings are decidedly informal in an effort to encourage guests to stay awhile. There’s definitely something for everyone in this diverse and eclectic group. Noteworthy is the framed Barry Goldwater original photograph. Like any museum, accessory pieces are more form than function. Stunning hardwood floors and molded ceilings serve as a backdrop for this impressive array of talent. The kitchen appears to be the only relatively art-free zone. Viking appliances and sensational light mocha granite countertops correspond nicely with gorgeous oak cabinets. A closer look reveals one last surreal painting titled “Danny’s Crackers.” For the art lover, a different masterpiece can be discovered in every room.
