Alsace, France - Petite Venice


You know.....sometimes it is hard to come up with a fab post.
So.....I was surfing around and found a link that sounded intriguing


It all started with this link;

After I had collected so many pics....
and was saying to myself;
"I am not into this"
but it was too late.
I am on a tight time schedule.
I am at work and trying to attract new design clients. 



This is where the little Venice is.
Gotta' tell ya'....
I am not into October fest!
And this part of France,
 by the lack of perhaps one Village Up-Rising is French 
instead of German.
I am not into COO COO Clocks or German village architecture. 


But ,
I know more than a few of you will like this.
Hey!
Millions go to Disney World every year.
And it doesn't look too different than this.

I know I sound  SNARKY.
I am under a bit of pressure.


I am now wearing my 'nite gard'
during the day to keep from grinding my teeth to smither-reens.
Kidding.

But, I am tense.



SEE!
Doesn't that look like Disney?


Maybe I really should go there.....
it's in wine country.
You think I need some?????


I was all but 'October Fest-ed' out by the google images.

Pray for me!!!

hahahahahah
no really, Pray for me!!

The Serene,The Sublime Alberto Pinto


This will be desert for your blogging eyes......
as my friend Maryanne from
says....in Paris ....'Fig' is all the rage.



I am taken back with his free spirit...
yet tamed enough to make a room into an art form.




on some lucky big, big, big boat


more yumminess on this big, big boat


This is so me. I love this.




Below is Alberto Pinto's home in Brazil


The textures and color he uses make want to be there.
It is so uncluttered and happy.





Do you have a favorite space 
that this {genius} designer has done?
His work is a surprise.
How great is that???

Don't Quit 5 minutes before the miracle

0

LOve this room, and the draperies are  right up my alley.


The unusual wood paneling behind the bed is fabulous.



This kitch i love the casement windows, the ceiling, and the view. :)

Maybe you’ve had this experience too…
you’ve waited for something…
you’ve prayed for something to happen…
and it seems like forever…
and you feel like giving up…

God’s timing is better than our timing…

for me...
that is where the faith I have worked so hard on developing
comes into play.
Just when people tell me to throw in the towel,
close the shop, cut your losses,
GET A REAL JOB.

How dare anyone to tell me to give up.
Insensitive, I say. 
This is my real Fu--ing job, and has been all of my life.
I am DIGGING my heals in now!!!

Maybe you've had this experience too…
you’ve waited for something…
you’ve prayed for something to happen…
and it seems like forever…and you feel like giving up…

God’s timing is better than our timing…
I had one of those days today...
a customer from an old firm I worked for 
looked me up!
To finish her home.
I am all smiles.
How about you?

Listen to your inner voice.
That inner voice IS DIRECTLY placed inside us from G-d.

The Perfect Setting For A Bathroom And Terrace


The Perfect Setting For A Bathroom And Terrace.

Can you imagine having your morning coffee here
wrapped in a thick white terry robe,
after a hot/warm yummy soak ???

ps 
I LOVE casement windows.
Especially these.


To me this would be bliss.

Would you enjoy a soak in this tub,
then having your morning coffee 
on this stunning terrace?

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.
