Houses and Barns By John Libby in Maine

Houses and Barns By John Libby in Maine

It is still 30 degrees here in Maine.
Too Cold.
Where is spring?

So I can only dream of some of the things that drew me here.

Like Adirondacks and the sea.


The Homes.


Okay.
These sliding barn doors are brilliant.
If one could afford it,
it would be great on all windows and doors 
in place of shutters.
 In Maine AND In Florida for storms.


Beams.
Another love of mine.


Stone is used all over here.
It's all the natural textures that I am drawn to.








Do you love the sink???


Something very popular here 
is the pebbled floor in the showers.


My kind of home.
A big porch with.....


A VIEW!!


Have a great weekend.
xx

Great Interiors With Great Ideas

*Great Interiors With Great Ideas

I just love the drapery detail!!!
When I do draperies I usually (99% of the time)
use a solid body for the drapery
and a patterned Peek A Boo fabric for a 9" turn back
(on the leading edge)
that shows when you turn the fabric back slightly 
when you tie them back with ropes and tassels or a medallion.
*as shown below*
I do the reverse-
the patterned fabric on the inside (turn-back).
And the body of my fabric usually matches the paint color.
And for the final finish touch....
on the leading edge I use a 1/4 " rope welt or even thinner if I can find it.
It looks SOOOOO detailed and FINISHED!
:)

I do
LOVE doing my window-treatments!!
                                 

How about the wood application behind this bed!
Brilliant.



Again.....
Contemporary mixed with curly iron and other traditional elements.
I think the mix of the two.
WORKS.
Each style helps the other to breath.

Happy Easter

Wall Mounted Desk



Wall Mounted Desk

The concept is great.
Imagine the possibilities.

I saw this and thought.....
how incredibly handy.
A small wall mounted desk that folds up into almost nothing.



The applications are really endless.

What do you think?

springtime, spring colors, spring fabrics & red ticking

I am looking out my window....a fresh foot of snow is staring back at me!!

And every day I keep saying
SPRING IS HERE!!!!

In keeping with spring design trends....
here is a bit of inspiration.

The colors and the fabrics at the bottom remind me of summer time.
And a casual one at that! 





In addition,
the fabs remind me of my friend Pam at shop Red Ticking.

Temporary Masqerade


I have really been through it.
This has been a living breathing Masquerade.

Masqerade;
 to disguise oneself; also : to go about disguised

I am a bit afraid to be me.
This is MAINE.
REAL MAINE.

I love my new town but this business of finding my fit.
Just the right fit for myself has been daunting.

It was just last week that I finally found 
'it' in me to start to print up new biz cards,
design some ads, get my tax #,
and finally look forward to what ever this new 
phase of my life will be.
I know that whatever will be
will not look or feel the same.
That's what I wanted....
but doing this great big 'THING' is scary.

It is certain that I have a great foundation of 
friends and family.

It is different for sure,
but 
and I hated where I was.
Right?

xx,s

....sorry that I have been M.I.A.
-this has proved to be hard stuff-
I have barely been present for myself.

About Renée Finberg

I have been in this business since the age of 22.

I love what I do and cannot imagine my life without Design.

Design Challenges are great.

And because of those challenges

I have imported fine antique pieces from Paris,

Designed and Manufactured Furniture,

Created Fantastic Window Treatments,

And solved all kinds of spatial & architectural issues

With my unique style.

If I can't find it, I create it.

My rooms would make excellent movie sets.

I am a visual, tactile and audio sensitive individual.

Creating is what I live for, not math, not spelling, not science.

Just Great Design.

Just imagine how it would be if each of us,

If only for a few hours of everyday,We could be in a space that is our very own.A place that is exactly the way we want it to be

Surrounded by all the things we wanted to see,

The atmosphere we wanted feel, smell and the sound we wanted to listen to.
