Went Fishing...


I had an invitation to get away for a few days....


I took it. It was to go FISHING in the Keys.
We went to Islandmorada.


We went on one of those drift fishing boats.
The days before my anxiety was at it's peak.
I get sea sick just thinking about a drift fishing boat.
When I was a kid....
I got sooooo sick 
and was trapped on this big old boat 
for 4 hours. I have NEVER forgotten this horrible experience.
So......
I took the Dramamine the night before and the morning of.  


We get to the dock I see these big fish right by the dock....
I am thinking,
If I don't hurl over the railing.....
this should be exciting!!!
Catching big fish.
Isn't that what we all want to do???


This was the only big fish I did catch!!!


I did not get sick on the boat-
but this is a pretty sad catch.
The fish I caught were tiny as rubber duckies.
I think the biggest fish was 12".
I think the oceans have been all fished out.

All in all....
it was a much needed change of environment
for me. 


I thought you might like this VERY FLORIDA seahorse rail.
I loved it.
I am partial to anything 'Horsie.'

I hope everyone is well
and had a great weekend with their loved ones.

New Chairs At 'THE TRADE'









They will be painted and covered in fun colorful fabrics.
They will be sitting around the lucite table below.

So......what are your thoughts?

I would love to know.
PS
I am having a huge tree built that will be 
a shade tree over the dining area.
It will have a chandelier hanging from it.

It sounds like fun and whimsy to me.

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.
