It Wasn't Easy Getting To The Willow Ball

Our day started out at the beach......
Everything was just fine until Cary said that he wanted to meet with some producers on an up-coming film. 
Instead of going to the party tonight.
I wasn't happy at all.
Cary had promised a long time ago that he would attend The WILLOW BALL with me!!!
As we drove back to the hotel.......
Here he is again trying to persuade me to go to dinner with his friends and associates.
I explained that I have been waiting all year to attend The Willow Ball with him.
I started to tear up......
Cary gave in.....temporary as may have been.....
he caved.
Of course....just like a man...
he was trying to get me to promise that we could leave early after making an appearance.
He said we could still meet with his friends later-
after the party.
I was standing my ground...
I wanted to dance and stay until dawn if the party lasted that long.
And then...... 
Cary pulls up in this!!!!!
He knew this would send me right over the edge.
"NO WAY" I said,
I am not going to The Willow Ball in that crazy sardine can car.
"I won't I tell you, 
I WON'T!!!!"

Well....I did and we arrived right on time.
You should have seen the movies stars that were there!!!
You still can if you go here.
Don't you know, Cary decided to dance like a mad man.
With, or without me.
I asked him to stop and spend some time with me....
He did.
Honestly, it is almost impossible to say no to him.
Could you???? 
We were definitely not having our best night together!!! 
He was still working on me to leave and meet up with his friends.
I was standing my ground.
Cary said..."You said you wanted to dance"
"Now let's dance!"
After a few rounds on the dance floor and drinks with his fellow movie star friends,
I agreed to leave.
In spite of our emotionally charged night, 
the party was outstanding and Willow had amazing food, drink and beautiful decor.
Her Manor Home rivaled Mara Largo for entertaining.
 
We gracefully said our goodbyes and thanked Willow for inviting us (ME).
Cary then drove me home in the sardine can car......
10 seconds long
See how the evening ended in this video.

My question to you is this;
'Could you say no to Cary?'

Infinity pools ..and other endless things...

 
Six Sense Hotel in Koh Yao Noi, Thailand 


The Joule hotel in Dallas, Texas.
I like this one.
It is something that they would do in NYC....
if they haven't already.

The Bulgari Resort in Bali 

Okay....
the other endless thing I am referring to is my window treatment disaster.


Last night I came clean with the owner/boss
( about my screw up)
and she was understanding. :
Honestly....
she always seems to come through when I need her.
I explained my screw up and offered to pay for my mistake.
I will need to pay for some of it......
but she is working on
'the numbers' and the 'mark-up' with me so that I am not hit hard.

Yippee.
I always feel better when I 'come clean!!!'
                        
Have a great day.
I intend to do the same!

Starting New

Another Chance

How often we wish for another chance
to make a fresh beginning.
A chance to blot out our mistakes
And change failure into winning.
It does not take a new day
To make a brand new start,
It only takes a deep desire
To try with all our heart.
To live a little better
And to always be forgiving
And to add a little sunshine
To the world in which we're living.
So never give up in despair
And think that you are through,
For there's always a tomorrow
And the hope of starting new.

Helen Steiner Rice
Happy Sunday.....
I wish yours to be long and lovely.

in capri looking out at the blue grotto...lol

i will do my best.

Someone's Collection of Fine Porcelain in Berlin

This man's collection started with this bird.
The collection that he has acquired resides 
with him in this building in Berlin.

When I see a place like this......

I am intrigued.

I want to meet the person who lives here.

Fine art,and  fine antique furniture combined with some classic 
modern pieces here and there.
I don't sense any pretense.

I want to look at everything and snoop around.

To me, this home has humanity.
It is not crazy orderly.


What do you think?
What is your take on this place?

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.
