Death Of A Dream


It has been 24 hours now since I closed the store.
In all my months there I did get but only one walk in customer.
Towards the end I went all but crazy. Maybe I did go crazy.
This failure I take very personally, 



All though there were stores closing all around me…..
Florida is in a desperate state for sure.
The design industry is all but shot.
Except for a few that are holding hands with the most successful
real estate brokers selling 3 million {and upwards} dollar condos.
That’s how it goes here.
-Tons of money or none.



And NO,
I couldn’t get anyone to hold my hand that was selling anything,
Much less something worth spending money on with a designer to put window treatments in to,
Or anything else that was pricy or fabulous.
What’s the deal…..do my armpits smell????

I tried to keep a stiff upper lip, but the facts are the facts.
I just had to get out.
I am pretty devastated by this and may not be posting for a while.
Maybe I will finally be able to visit your blogs ,
If I can get my chin off the ground and stop this shitty piss poor feeling inside.
I will get through this.
I know…
I always f---ing do.



And yes, I am angry at myself, the economy, and life in general.
I am mostly angry because I am so overwhelmed and sad.
When I get off my pity pot and figure things out…
I will be back.
To those of you that I love…
I send you more of it.

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.
