The August Sale....And My Best White Jacket

I suppose that I have mentioned that every year 
( YES.I made it more than a year....July 14th was 1 year for me)
we have a huge, crazy, nutty sale.
If I haven't mentioned it.....I will now.
It is stressful.
I am so not kidding.
And I know I have mentioned many times what a huge adjustment 
this has been for me to work in sales.
Not just in sales......
But, on the premier, hard core, real deal, best furniture selling job in town.
This takes guts and courage daily.
After all ....
I am just a 'creative type.'
Not really a 'flesh eating' type.

see above-
'flesh eating type'
and hasn't he done well for himself?
see above;
will say or do anything for a sale type.
But this chic is scary. Really scary.
here is the 'will do anything' type.....
When I first started I had a few giving me a hard time,
(see above)
and now they are my allies.
Thank G-d for small favors.
In fact we are pretty close.
And she does look just like that!
And then there is me......
I am freaked out about going into work today.
I have to work late - until 9pm
There are 2, 
I mean 3 people who are deadly towards me 
and I will be working alone with them tonight.
No allies.....
Just me and the other 3 devil dogs.
Wish me luck.....
this is so stressful.
Perhaps I will wear my good white jacket to work today.
What do you say?
At least I will fit in!!!!!

When will August be over ????

It's VIRTUAL SHOPPING TRIP Time.....

So I have decided to go to Gumps of San Francisco.
Here are a few things that I thought you might like at Gumps.





And who doesn't love KOI??




How stylish is this???

This lamp is bone china that is punched out.
You can have it lit from the inside.
I thought this was a steal.


What did you like from this Virtual Shopping Trip?

House Hunting In Ireland

This three-bedroom house, 
with a guest cottage and Turkish bath, 
is on the market for 2 million euros 
($2.6 million) in County Wicklow, Ireland.

Let's go to the house and see what we can get for 2 million.
Shall we?











I would live in this place.
Just think of how relaxed you could be.
Not to mention how an idle mind can get very, very creative!
I need a bit of that just now.

love you guys  xx's,
sorry i am so behind on commenting.....
i have been in the design coal mine all week and it hasn't let up just yet.

*go see the home for sale HERE

Tight On Space

Need a shelf? Or another work surface?
See the 2 legged console braced on the wall?
I saw this and thought it was clever.
You can do this 
with almost any sofa table or a console.
You simply remove the back legs & cut down on the depth of it until 
you achieve the look and purpose you wish .

Is this too ornate for you?
Try this one.
This one will take a bit more work. 
But it can be done.
I like this one....it has storage.
What do you think of this idea?


Head to a flea market this weekend.
Happy Hunting!

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.
