Do You Like Limestone?


And iron work?
And casement windows?
And awesome stone work and detailing??


I am not wrong...
come along with me and look at this place.


Perfect Floors


I thought that this was a beautiful space-
so much so
 that I didn't feel the need to post a room that has been decorated
and tweaked to my taste or to yours.



This is gorgeous naked.
NO?


And if you don't get to Paris much....
this is what is all around you.


Actually,
this is why you need to get out of the house more.....
and maybe get over there.


Yesterday was my birthday-
{i'll alert the media!!! hahahaha}
 I should only age like this masterpiece of a building.



Sometimes-
well... almost always....
I think it is more interesting to look at an empty space 
It is my blank canvas and I paint it in my head.


The Doors!




What can you see in this space?
I see a black grand piano 

 Charles Aznavour
  singing 
'SHE'
and pygmy date palms

 in giant oriental fish bowls on stands.
I guess I am a romantic at heart.
Well.... where interiors are concerned anyway.
XXX's

I love him!!
This is one of my favorite songs by him.

  4. Renee, first Happy Birthday!! I hope you were able to do something fun...I have a feeling you did! I love the spaces you find and ask us to create in our minds. I love these photos and admit I would go into a major panic attack if asked to decorate it. I leave that to the experts like yourself. I can see just from what you have shown that you are spot on. What an amazing space.

    I went into Kensington Palace yesterday and was overwhelmed by the beauty in the ceilings....all hand painted and just stunning. I would have been happy just to lay down and look up...not sure everyone else would have appreciated it :)

    Best wishes Renee!

  11. Dare I say it, it would almost be a shame to put anything in this space. It is so beautiful as it is. Happy Birthday for yesterday by the way. And I love She too.. even the Elvis Costello version. Rachaelxx

    Yes, everything is particularly handsome, particularly the floors. Note the correct layout with the borders and the field perimeter ending on full and half elements.

  14. The doors and windows are to die for....and I see no lighting...are those lights at the base of the staircase?...to shine up fantastically?....or is it my vivid imagination?....Imagine the view outside if that is so!
    Happy Happy Birthday R!!!!!...k

  20. Renee,

    Happy Birthday and actually you have a whole year to celebrate. So carry on! Dream some bigger dreams now that you're older, wiser, and you can!

    Love limestone, flooring, ironworks, detail wall ornaments, light and expansive space. I would fill the space with classical musical and that's it. Until...

    When you feed the mind with music the rest is history. Walls in established spaces and places like this will reveal what they want we just have to listen.

    Great post be still my beating heart.

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.
