Nothing Fancy

It's About That Time Again....
to pack a small bag, and make the drive from Manhattan to 
THE HAMPTON'S
 for the weekend..
This is a tiny Hampton home that was featured in 
Marie Claire Maison.
I SPY a zebra rug!!!! - love love love it.
You don't need too much of a kitchen 
to have a blast in the Hampton's.
'Nothing Fancy' is just right.
If you haven't seen 'Annie Hall ' (the movie) by now....
you need to.


It seems that odds and ends can make a beautiful summer cottage.
oh..............what fine memories I have.

Do you have a few great 'weekend cottage' memories?

Thank you for all your caring comments.

I am just trying to not use my brain at all, 
unless it is absolutely necessary.
Some 'tedious' stuff has come up at work. 
I must take some crazy and seriously annoying online course for work.
Every time I look at my laptop I am reminded of this 'online course'...
which makes me feel all 'ticked off' inside.

I will be back when this is dealt with.
UGH!!!

so...........
I think I need to go see my horse tomorrow.
There is nothing like a warm nuzzle,
 and the smell of my horse 
to make me feel 
the way I want to feel 
all the time.

See Ya' Later...

I have run into one of life's complications.
I am taking a few days off to clear my head.
I need to sort my mind and feelings out. 
I don't feel much like blogging about it quite yet.

Thank you ALL for all your kind wishes regarding my daughter's
 'GRADUATION".

XX's, 
just me

Andi's Is Graduating Tomorrow And.....

Yep.....
the party is over.
But.... I am so proud of her!!!!
After Graduation she will be finishing up a commitment
at a summer camp this summer.
She loves being a counselor.
And then it is off to The Peace Core.
I am terribly proud of her.


During the height of the 1920s land boom, thousands of copies of this poster envisioning the future University of Miami campus were sent around the country to attract new residents to the new Miami sub-division of Coral Gables. 
University until very recently has been considered a party school.
In my life, when I was in High School on Miami Beach.....
That is where we went to get into trouble.
Miami Beach, Coral Gables, and Coconut Grove are all just about 20 minutes from one another.

Miami Beach today. *above
Andi and her friends spent plenty of Thursday nights there.

Miami Beach in the OLD DAYS.

Erl Roman and Students, Fishing Class, 1949
-early classes at University of Miami. 
HUH???

The beloved 'CANES.'

Andi lived off campus and just down the street from the University.
In my favorite little town in the Miami area.
Coconut Grove.
The best, and the most beautiful little Village.
I would move back there for sure, you can walk to everything.
...I lived there for a year in the 70's.



More Grove...and just 1 block from whered Andi lives.


Greenstreet Cafe on Commadore Plaza.  Andi would walk to breakfast here.

This is the view from where I grew up.
Not bad. Eh?

I am taking today, 
tomorrow (to attend the Graduation), 
and Saturday off for this amazing event.

Love to you all.  xx's

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.
