A ' Virtual' Shopping Spree.....Come With Me

I was in a real funk after work yesterday.
 I was tired and blue and I needed a distraction like shopping.....
ahhhhh ...the bliss that shopping can bring....
Right?
So... let's go.

I decided to go to Horchow to see what was new.
I haven't been there in ages.
I found a few things that I absolutely LOVE..

This is one of them.
Horchow is now serving up 'antiques' of a sort.
This chest knocked me out.
The grey and gold finish is a stunner!

Here is a close up. Great right?

And then I saw this sofa and thought....cuddly, cozy, and stylish
I have always loved this table. It is 28 x 50, which is a hard to find size.
And it is inexpensive too.

I thought these where divine. The whole set is under $300.
The tallest is 24".

These tables are 24 high and 24 wide.
They are lacquered with nail heads.
I think they are sharp.

How about this collection of mirrors?

I decided to pop a few of the light fixtures
 that I would buy and use.

Talk about Faux Bois......
this is a nice example made into a lamp.

I thought this was wild.
How about you????

This is like a gold washed mercury glass.
I think it is beautiful.

The lotus lamp.
I like this one too.

Close up of the Lotus Lamp.

This one is sharp.
I love the base.




I went flea-shopping with Claudia Strasser from The Paris Apartment 
and she was looking for mirrors like this one.
"Here ya' go Claudia."

And finally I saw this patio set and was drawn to it.
I can just see it with kids sitting on the stump seats  in wet suits
eating hamburgers right off the grill.

Whew.....I feel better!!
My blues are gone.
Nothing like a dose of 'Virtual Shopping' 
to cure what's wrong with me.


What does a dose of virtual shopping do for you?


Go To Horchow - and snoop around

This Place Was A Real Find!





While snooping around the Miami Herald Newspaper
I found an article that mentioned a shop in Chicago called Jayson Home & Garden.
These fixtures are part of the lighting collection.


So, I popped over.....
and found many treasures 
of which this little box was just one of many.


I found some amazing accessories, 
furniture, textiles, and fabulous flea market finds.



I have selected a few things that I would buy.
One is this scale....they make the greatest centerpieces.
Fill with fruit, flowers, or whatever else you might like to display.
Done.
It looks great.


*Opera Hats
I LOVE hats...
so these were a 'no brainer.'


Then I found this little porcelain item as well......
huh?
did I miss a whole new design trend???
Siamese Twins?
Do you remember these twins??

Those Who Matter Don't Mind




"Be who you are 
and say what you feel,
because those who mind don't matter
and those who matter don't mind."

Dr Suess

I am dealing with some scary financial things right now.
The stress of it all is wearing on me and sometimes I do and say stupid things.
I'm glad that I know I will be forgiven by those who matter. XX's


What do you think about this saying??

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.
