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.

How funny.. I didn't realise the Trunks Up was an americanism..
ReplyDeleteHope your trunks are all facing upward this week.. ciao xxx Julie
I provided a comment earlier but you chose not to include. So I would like to try again. As someone who spent two years living in a country where elephants walked down the road outside my house, I can tell you that elephants with trunks up are not a good sign at all. Apart from when they are reaching for leaves from trees or palm fronds, elephants generally tend to put their trunks up when they are about to trumpet or bellow. This is usually a sign of disturbance or anger and probably indicates that the elephant is upset for some reason. This does not indicate good luck for anyone who happens to be around the elephant at this time. A disturbed elephant is not a happy elephant and they can do a great deal of damage and be very dangerous.
ReplyDeleteMany Sri Lankans gave me gifts of carved and painted elephants, weavings of elephants etc. All have their trunks down - as an elephant with trunk up is not a good sign. I don't know why Americans insist this is a sign of good luck when it generally indicates the animal's disturbance.
