A Little Fiction For You


A handsome man waves me over 
and tells me he is having a party on his yacht.
"Would you care to join us?"

Against all the steadiness in me, 
I wanted to say "no thank you'' 
but it is has been such a long hot summer...
I took the plunge and agreed to go by boat out to his yacht.
Besides....He is very distinguished,, an Italian Count.
{how bad could this be?}



Well here on the deck 
we get to talking and it turns out we once knew each other.
Many , many years ago....back then
I was flown over to St. Martin and re-did his casino there { The Maho Reef Club}
while working for F.S.Schumacher.

I remembered this suave gentleman clearly now.
It was all coming back to me.
I had a little crush.

He told me that there really was no party after all.
....and he had planned it that way
and that he had been following my career all these years.
Was I to be flattered or freaked out?

Hell.....I will go with the first thought.
BE FLATTERED I say to myself.


Then after cocktails , wine, and dinner....
it was getting very warm in the room!!!!
Very.

Antonio {his name} wanted to show me the rest of the ship.
So he did.


You could have knocked me over with a feather in the bathroom.
It was soooooo gorgeous.
And he was so smooth. Just as I had remembered him to be.


And finally the room Antonio really wanted to show me!!!

What shall I do?
Whatever shall I do?

Ladies....i need your help on this one!!!! please

Slowly.....

I know it's not much, 
but there has been so much work behind the scenes.
My french chandie is up at least.
The draperies are up 
with the tiny greek key patterned soft valance 
with black & cream gimp along the leading edge.
I love them
It is coming along slowly...
Sept 1st might be the 'soft opening.
I went to the factory today and saw some of the pieces for the showroom...
EXCITING.
and my office is going to be a knockout too.
It is always nice to have a place to work that is stunning.

I am getting ready for tomorrow.....I am still hunting the acrylic legs xxx

Indian Summer Is On It's Way


Relish the last morsels of summer....



Embrace the weeding....
be grateful for the sore knees and back aches.


When I lived in NYC right around mid August I would get a little blue....
because the cool relief of a breeze would wash over me and I would know


summer was coming to it's end.


But then we will have glorious Indian Summer!!!!
And how GLORIOUS the changing red leaves are!


Have a great day.
I will, I am determined to have a great day.

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.
