Doggy Bathtubs And Tunnels In Manalapan

 

In the heart of Florida’s Gold Coast, the prestigious oceanfront enclave of Manalapan Beach lies in Palm Beach County, between the Town of Palm Beach and Boca Raton.


Buckle up.....
This cottage goes for a cool $ 20,000,000.00.

The dining room paneling is beautifully done. 
This to me,
is amazing.
Look closely at the kitchen cabinets. 
Behind the cabinets on either side of the stove,
the cabinets have been actually mounted on the windows.
BRILLIANT!!!!


This is the wall we will reupholster.


This is the ceiling in the master bedroom.
I could be very happy laying flat on my back in this room.
{wink wink}


and the pool....


more details


And this is 'HAL' -
he runs everything in the house.
Pretty wild isn't it?
But, there is more.


Every home needs an elevator.
I know that on some days ....
stairs look so daunting.


This is the view on the back terrace-with  a lovely fireplace.
That is the ocean across this 2 lane highway.

There are terraces all over. the front , the back, and the sides.
There is a huge pool house as well.
I think there is something like 20 thousand feet under air.


The view from the dining room.



This is one of my favorite features......
look at this picture.
You will see something 
that looks like a garage under this railing...
IT IS NOT.
It is a tunnel to the beach.
It goes under the 2 lane highway straight to the ocean.

So CHIC!!!


This is my other favorite feature....
the doggie bath.




PEEK A BOO.....I see you!!
yes
 that is me drooling over the many selections of onyx 
that this brilliant designer used.
 He was handsome and charming.
Not a bad way to spend  a morning in Palm Beach.

What do you think of the glass kitchen cabinets,
the tunnel, and the doggie bath????

My Blog Has Been Sick....

My blog will not let me log in to it.
Google Chrome is not meshing with blogspot this week.
Blogger will not let me log-in to comment either.

I am extremely uneasy about being on exploror.
VIRUSES Galore-
I can acess my blog today from EXP.
but I hate being on it.
I don't want my laptop getting sick too.
That just would send me over the edge.

On a much brighter note.....


Well, it is coming along.
The butted glass window in the office will be sharp.

Ofcourse it wasn't done that way originally,
they only had 3 feet in each direction.
HUH?
AND.....they tried to get out of making it correctly.
* as shown in above image.

But....I started my very own
'good cop - bad cop' routine.
Whippng out the plans 
and detailed drawings
that I submitted in the beginning of all the work.

In the end the drawings prevailed....
I got my way.
I must say they have been really good to me.



The left side of this picture is the front window.
AND....I am getting terribly excited!!!!!

I owe a big huge hug and thank you to Bette from IDEEZINE.
Bette got me doing these visualizations....
In addition to the visualization boards
I developed my own mantra {on my sidebar)
My visual wishes are coming true.
I feel closer to the universe than ever.
I believe that good things will happen.

And there is someone else
who I feel compelled to thank
for believing in me...when I was losing faith.

Thank You C.S.!!!

Louis Shuster






This is one of the best designers down here in south Florida.
Louis Shuster.
From his lips;
"It's the same principles in design as in any business. 
You must be consistent at what you do. 
You must continually turn out good, creative work. 
You must provide good service. 
You must carefully watch the business 
by keeping in close contact with your clients, 
your suppliers, and all of your vendors. 
It's that simple."

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.
