She Is The First Woman To Do It

Here she is, Zeynep Fadillioglu looking beautiful . And a much more casual look at work.
Here she is hard at work, and I am sure, cooking up something fantastic.
Zeynep Fadillioglu is the first woman to design a Mosque....ever.
In Istanbul, Turkey.



Sometimes it seems as though nothing will ever change.

But, Zeynep Fadillioglu gives us all hope.
Not just for woman but, maybe in some strange way, even peace.
The way we think, can change !
Remember.....baby Steps, just a few baby steps at a time.

Please read the previous post.

Better Than ' Old World Style' - Part ll

Lavish, and Mystical
Is this better than any attempt at 'Old Word Style' , that you have seen ?

The Designer; Zeynep Fadillioglu
She is based in Istanbul, most of the pictures are of homes she has done in Turkey.


As you go through these pictures, look at the walls and how Ms. Fadillioglu has finished the interior walls.
How is this for a master bedroom ?

A few details..........let me say, this woman knows details !

The view from the master bedroom.

I think her display style is brilliant.


I love these panels, and the hardware .
  • An elegant design solution.
One of the things that has me hooked into her style, is her gift for ' lighting application' through-out all of her work.
Villa at Buyukdere is my favorite, and these are some pictures of it. (you can find it on her site)

Her bathrooms are the stuff fairy-tales are made of.
An 'Arabian Nights' dinner party anyone ?
To me, this is incredible !! I wish I were dining there tonight.
Check out the walls. ( in addition to everything else)


This room is so sophisticated, and my idea fabulous.
Great ?

For the most part, this room is contemporary. And I still spot glorious tassels on the side panels.

I would have done the same...........but, then again, I am a recovering trim addict, so I understand completely.


This is crisper than some of her other spaces. I adore all of her design selections.
I want this bathroom !! What are your thoughts on this post ?

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.
