Been To Tel Aviv?

I have never been to Tel Aviv.
Many kids that I grew up with went.
IT was almost a right of passage in Miami Beach.
I never went.
I never wanted to, so i didn't.
But all these years later.....
 with all the happy people I have met from there,
and the happy stories I have heard.....
I would go today.
The streets of Tel Aviv.
The beaches.
hmmmmm...not too different from Miami Beach.
- and the cool places to just chill with new and old friends..
A man based in Paris stays here
 in this 1924 apartment in Tel Aviv,
which he decorated with 1924 deco pieces that he puchased from Germany.

I have imported chairs just like the two on the right from Paris.

I loved them and they are living in an old clients house that I did.


Have you been to Tel Aviv ?
What stories do you have to share?

Hiding Your Sources

The secret to creativity 
is knowing how to hide your sources.
Albert Einstein

As a designer 
this is an important practice 
that I am not always good at.
Are you?

Deco Done Right

There are a few of you that know I am a lover of DECO.
When it is done right.......
it is magnificent.
One of the things that I am drawn to 
about fine Deco furnishings and interiors 
is that they are CLASSIC.
They are 'FOREVER.'

Check the walls out
(and everything else) in this bathroom.

This study reminds me of one that I did.
Look at the arms on these chairs.
The back height of the chairs are too high for me.
But this is so well done.

I think this bedroom is absolutely dreamy.
Check the bed's frame out.
Fantastic!!!

I understand that Deco is a very specific taste and style.

Can you appreciate 
the work that went into this home?
Can you admire the style of it all 
even if you couldn't live in it?

What You Will.....



Imagination is the beginning of creation. 
You imagine what you desire
you will what you imagine 
and at last you create 
what you will.

What Should I do?


Recently I have been made an offer.......
perhaps that I shouldn't refuse.

I met a man from India (Dehli) 
and he is in the process of building green homes 
for expatiates living in India.

Sounds cool right?


Can you see me here?

He has seen my work and wants me to be the designer 
of his turn key homes for ex-pats.
These designer homes would be leased to the tenants for approximately 1 to 2 years.
He would be dependent on me to 'Westernize' the homes inside and out for the comfort of the tenants.

I would design the interiors and be the exporter of the furnishings.
This would all be done on a small mark-up because the quantities could be great.

The thought of spending time in India 
is exciting and frightening at the same time
so.....

What would I wear?
Maybe this with leggings or capri pants underneath.
Would it be as sweaty as it is here???? 
If so...yucko.

What would I would eat......?
I love the food, and the SPICES.

I even love the smell of curry.
Americans either hate or love the taste of curry, 
I am the latter.
I could eat it everyday.
......and I just may end up eating it everyday if I go!

If I were a young designer........I would never go!
I have no fear any longer of being drugged and sold into the sex trade!
 hahahahaha

What are your feelings on this opportunity?
Seriously?
Should I see what happens.......
 and if things turn out to be safe, 
including legitimate & 'kosher '....should I go?

And if anyone has had previous experience doing business in India,
please share your experiences with 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.
