Venice Carnevale Photo Gallery

If only I could wear a mask at this ball in Venice.

Does this look like fun to you?

The costumes are elaborate and all 18th Century.

BTW

my favorite century.

Ahhhhhhh.....

If only I could time travel!!!

The Winged Lion of St. Mark

This yearly ball in Venice 

would be the closest I will ever come to actual time travel.

Just imagine the fine memories this young girl 

will have of this special evening!!!

If given the opportunity 

would YOU go to  

The Tiepolo Ball in Venice?

I wouldn't miss out 

on that glorious opportunity.

NO WAY!!

Calcutta - Elle Decor....Dingy Yet Interesting?

Who ever lives here -

 looks to be someone I would want to know.

Sorry, I really screwed up the last few images when I reduced them in size.

I don't know what happened.

Anyway...I don't know how I feel about this place.

'Dingy' yet very interesting. ?

Berlin - Concrete Walls

In the December 2011 issue of Ellle Decor

I found this couples home in Berlin

I have been researching on how to get this 

BIG CONCRETE look on standard walls.

It has it's place....

and I feel  it can make a dynamic statement.

Check out the fireplace.

And those are poured and scored floors I think.

People....like me are being drawn to the warehouse/loft look.

I would love to do a space with these walls.

I will figure it out.

I will let you know when I find out how to do it.

Already I have found some wall coverings...

but, I have my doubts about it looking authentic.

And isn't everything really about authenticity?

Actually if I didn't tear up my elle decor mag to scan these pictures

I could really tell you what the floors are.

On closer examination...

they look like granite floors from large slabs.

At any rate I wanted to share these walls with you

and get your opinion.

SO?

kisses, Renee

Suspended Swinging Beds

elle?

I am fascinated by this concept.

I would love to do it for someone.

Don't you think 

the idea of a swinging bed has an element of fun to it?

{although I would have to take Dramamine i think}
