New Beginnings - Starting Over



New Beginnings & Starting Over

I did however just take a part time job at the consignment store 
that is selling the pieces from my showroom's closing.


You may be sick of me by now.....
I am sick of me,
but 
I am....
Thinking out loud with you;
I am figuring things out....
I am thinking of going back to school for web-design and programming.
{Prez Obama would be proud}

As long as I have my eye sight....{please G-d!!!}
I could do it until I am too old to get around on my own.
I mean...that is about 25 - 30 years away,
but computer technology is not going anywhere!

I try not to project into the future.....{my down fall}
but
that is where a great deal of my fear come from.

Projecting.
If only I could PROJECT positive thoughts instead of negative ones-
 I would have it made in the shade.

BRIDESMAIDS - Clips That I LOVE



I can completely relate to her antics on this plane.



My daughter said; " Mom, don't be offended ...
but she reminds me of you"

More like things you threaten to do-and say under your breath
only Annie Walker does them

Hope you all have a killer weekend...
filled with love and hugs from the people that matter to you.

Claudia Aronow


What a dream to be a successful artist like Claudia Aronow.


The way she lives....
in my favorite city.


one of Claudia Aronow's work spaces.



Her office.


The lighting is perfect for painting here.



The building still has the original tin ceilings.
I LOVE TIN CEILINGS.
Kudos to Claudia for maintaining them.


Claudia seems to be pulled by 
CIRCLES.
Yet her work morphs.
Don't we all morph?
I know I am.




What did you think of the tour?
Would you want to be a successful artist?

Infect Your Friends With Design Obsessions


There are much worse things to obsess about.
Trust me.
And you really don't want to go there.


But
you can go here and...

Find something you love.....


Let it inspire you.


This ...
I think is fabulous !!!


The wall bubbles aren't for me,
but they do have their place.
Right?





And I have used a huge bronze antique/African mask at the end of a hallway...
I did have it lit from behind...
so the eyes and mouth GLOWED.
It was WAY DRAMATIC!!!
...and a tad scary.
{especially for the client at a cool 12 K}

I LOVED IT!!!

**Hey....any clients interested in using me....
don't let spook you.
The client just had to have it once I showed him. 
It's not my fault that I have fabulous taste.

Right? 
hehehehehe

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.
