Marilyn Monroe's Last Interview & Murder/Suicide


You can hear her voice in these interviews,
which I love.....
Her Laugh.
The picture above was taken 2 days before her death,
and at the interview.

If you watch the videos you will see her home etc.




Below is an image of MM leaning out of her NYC apartment
at 444 E. 57th. St.
I lived 1/2 block away from her place.
It is a very cool prewar building.

Did you know that most prewar buildings in NYC
do not have 13th floors??


When I moved to NYC 
the week of my18th birthday.
I had nothing but a mattress on the floor and a few books.
Like 3.
One of my treasures 
was a square book of Marylyn Monroe images
taken by Milton Greene.
It was truly art.
She was like a 'human piece of art'
 that SHE created!!

I was obsessed with her and her death.
I am still obsessed with her death....
I just don't know what I believe.


MM was a brilliant make-up artist.


Without Make-Up & With Make-Up


She really was plain looking without make-up.
But 
she had all right stuff in my opinion.
The Brows
The Eyes
The Bones
&
The Lips
She was a perfect canvas.



This pic was taken on the set of 
'Somethings Got To Give'
just weeks before her death.
MM was skinny because of a gall bladder operation
that she had gone through.



What a great 'tush!'


What an angel face.


The French finally came to love her long after her death.
Not as a movie star
but 



MM celebrated a birthday on the set of 
'Something's Got To Give'


If you didn't get enough click on this one.
They are slightly different...playing more of M.M.'s voice during the interview.
I like both videos.



Did or Do you like Marlyn Monroe.....
I won't hold it against you if you didn't or don't.
It is strange, by the time I started watching her films....she was dead over 10 years.


Do you think it was suicide
or
murder???

Megan Perry Yorgancioglu - Her Hip Home In Turkey

BOLD & BEAUTIFUL!!!

                  

                   I grabbed the traditional home rag because of this home.....

                    
In a million years I never would have guessed this home's location. Never.

I am hooked {always have been}on the black and white floors..............
and these are SO POLISHED.
Gorgeous.



The cabinetry in the image above is fabulous. To me it is very Hollywood.
I could see Carole Lombard pouring wine here.

                 





This is fantastic too!!

                  

What are your thoughts on this home?
What do you like best, or what don't you like?

Personal Work Spaces & Offices


I adore everything but the desk!
I am over the cottage/pottery barn desks etc.


I feel it is most important to want to be in your work space.
And a big part of that is how the work space 'works' for your work.
This is a great place to sit and make phone calls.....

Dreamy!!
This image reminds me of Rockport Maine.


I like everything in this image....
but
there are too many 'things' in it.

Dark Bottle Green Walls.
Done 'em
& Love 'em!!
Again....the desk is way too small for me.
I need a huge surface.

This must be a very busy persons office space.
I like it.
Not fancy~~~~but has some sort of edge.
HA!
It must be the exposed radiator.
{....reminds me of apts. in the city}
OR
'The edge' is that this office is not decorated,
and that is all we look at all day on our design blogs.....


Very practical but not too 'FABULOUS'


Depressing.
{to me}


What a dynamite space to work out of~~~!!!


This space would actually be ideal for me.
I love it.


This too is how I like to work.
The only thing this space needs {for me} is a giant story board.
LOVE IT.
It is bright , practical, has storage-shelving, and is spacious.
I can get nutty if I feel claustrophobic. 


The detailing is beautiful on the built in.
This looks like a great place to 'close' contracts

What is your work space like?

Quotes - Dreams



Dreams pass into the reality of action. From the actions stems the dream again; and this interdependence produces the highest form of living.
Anais Nin

Dreams are the touchstones of our character.

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.
