My Naples Escapade & A Visit To Clive -Daniel Home


A much needed reprieve from my daily grind.
Isn't Naples charming?
This is downtown.
And everyone is so sweet.
Most of the people who live here are from the mid-west!
YEAH!!!!


The flowers that are potted 
are like the wild flowers you see all over Maine that are potted.
And you know how I love Maine.



That gorgeous woman is my nest friend from NYC,
she was maid of honor at my 2nd wedding.
But,
Let's not go there......
Her name is Sari and I love her like a sister.
And yes....she was a model.
She now is living in Naples.






We drove by this building and I went a bit nutzo.
I had to get out of the car and take pictures.


This is looking up in the entrance of the building.


It is a very mid century building.


The pool.
It looks very Bel-Air Calfornia.



This is the view from Sari's apartment where I was staying.
There are ducks and turtles galore.
It is very peaceful.
I feel like a new human being.


The next day I went to 
Clive - Danial
Home.

I went in for an interview.
And again....
lovely people!!

Here are s few images taken there.



The store is huge and magnificent.
It is very cutting edge.

Their design department does absolutely everything,
from complete remodeling {kitchens & baths}
with an on staff architect etc etc.


For me, the showroom was living a dream.
There wasn't anything I wouldn't love to use in my own design work.


Look at these plates mounted on the wall.


A new take on the gourd lamp.
Right?




Love this dining room.
And the finishes were extraordinary. 



This caught my eye.
It is very shallow.
Very.

And I am all about 'space'
so....I loved it.





The sconce in the middle was very different.
The crystals were draped like a fabric.
Another adored item!!


These discs were very clever.....
I love a long line of things mounted horizontally or vertically.

How about you??

I hope you had a lovely weekend.
I am heading back to the east coast momentarily.

XXX's
  • Things are looking up.
I have my next interview on the May 21st with a major fabric showroom at the D.C.O.T.A,
and a client just called me for some work this morning.
And then there is yesterdays interview at the above mentioned Clive - Danial.
Someone up there is looking out for me.
we will get together next time I am over here on the west coast.
She really is the best.

Black Doors - Elegant & Sexy


I liked these Black Doors so much 
that I used them as my logo on my Portfolio website.



Don't you want to go inside ???









' Classique '
No?


Who doesn't love a dutch door?


or barn doors????



studded black doors



Beautiful even in the snow.
Black doors with black wicker-



This black door with this color combination...
is yummy.


We Can Not Leave Out Black Iron Doors!!!


Hmmmmm?


I am very partial to casement doors and windows -
painted black of course.

I actually want to be behind those casement doors 
and in that very room.

The cobblestone doesn't hurt the situation either.



If only this were my home......
....dreaming again, of living back in NYC


I think this porch is just too fabulous.
Black shutters, black wicker, and a black front door....
how chic!!


This is my favorite picture of a door.
This is my favorite styled door...ever.
And I adore black doors and trim inside the home as well.





I hope you enjoyed this.
I know I did.

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.
