Flowers In Jars And Cans


Fancy isn't always the prettiest.
Right?







It's not the containers here....
it is the tree!!!




I love this!!!!!!









Is there anything better that flowers?



Is there anything better than flowers?
well, Is there????

And when you are done doing your flowers in jars, cans,
and bottles.....
you might want to string up a bunch of lights under a tree
and invite you nearest and dearest!

I know I have been gloomy as of late.
But since this cheers me up.....
I am hoping it does the same for you.
I don't exactly want to be known as the blog of 
'GLOOM & DOOM'
RIGHT?????

So This Is Where I Want To Run To

There is some time in a person’s life when they want to run away.
Things are too difficult or they are just too overwhelmed.
That’s how I am feeling today.
I might NOT feel this way tomorrow
But
I do right now.


My dearest friend from 30 years ago came to visit me.
{i cried like a baby for an hour after she left}
She lived in an apartment one floor below me in my building in NYC.
She was a gorgeous model and actress.
She was also my maid of honor when I married.  
She has been living in Naples Fla. For 2 years. I found her on face book.
{well it is good for something} And she had been trying to find me through
the newspapers.  She didn’t know my married name…..but I always kept my maiden name.
she didn’t know.



It was so warm and fuzzy to see her.
But it has been 30 YEARS.
She is so brilliant, brave and funny……..
I don’t know what it was but it stirred up all sorts of things in my head and heart.
She had more hilarious stories that had me on the floor 
additionally they often seemed sad. And were. I love her. So they were sad to me.
I worried for her.
I am worried for me.
These are hard times for a woman alone.


She would love this room and read every book in it.

And here we could plane our adventures for the day
over cafe and cakes.

I just wish all would work out with my business,
I want to have a place for her.



I have a lousy time of it making new friends……
It is always the OLD PALS that I treasure & trust.

So this is where I want to run to !


I am by nature, melancholy.....
I need to figure all of this BIG STUFF out!!

Saturday Retail Blues......I know How to BLOW Them All Away!~~~


First things first,
I am not Louis or Lola from the Titanic.

Gratitude First and foremost!

I had some real 'AUTHENTIC' Boca Raton citizens come in today.

Needless to say......
I want to be with my world of sweet and gentle horses.
Oh why....

I need my world of love, and sweet horse breath.

This Is A Great Home In France

The raw wood table is great right  along side the bregeres.

The big tree with plenty of room to grow in it's planter.

There is the tree again.
And check out the industrial bar stools.
Nice.

Over the pool table.....
all the pictures crammed together.
I love that look.





I think this would be a great place to spend a month in unwinding.
All the sofas look as though you would fall right to sleep.

What are you thoughts?
Like It ?

It just seems very inviting and cozy to me.

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.
