A Sea Captains House in Nantucket


Since I live in a coastal town 'DOWN EAST' in New England
I was drawn to these adorable nautical knobs.
I looked for the source but could not find it.
(I did however find a rope pull at Anthropology)


I love the tall thin mirror above the sink.


What do you think of the rosie terracotta paint color?
I think it is great.



The designer has done a fabulous job bringing in contemporary 
touches to this traditional home.


What is it about painted floors that is so charming?



Above are the rope pulls that I found.

I am trying to get back into the swing of blogging again.
I need to start talking to you again about what is really going on....
but are you ready ?
Am I ?

love to all my blogging friends

Easy Easy Easy : Water & Soil Proof ANYTHING


USE 'NEVER WET' by Rust-Oleum®



I don't know why I am so fascinated with this product,
but I am. 


You can water proof and soil proof almost anything.
If you really want to find out what it can do watch a few videos.
Never Wet
is amazing.

You can water proof your I PHONE or any other electronic.
In one of the demo's the treated the mother board of a computer
and submerged it along with an I Phone for 30 minutes.
It was working while submerged.


I love how easy it is for fabrics.
Laminating fabric is costly, and you usually need a minimum of 12 yards.
After lamination the fabric is quite a bit stiffer, not to mention the time involved
in the process.
You  wait for the fabric, then you ship the fabric to the lamination company,
then you wait for the lamination, then you wait for the shipping return.
We are talking at least 6 weeks.
That is if you fabric is in stock, and you are 1st in line at the lamination company.
( Not likely on either )





Sweatshirt treated with NEVER WET.


Napkin treated with NEVER WET


Treating a toilet brush is brilliant.
No dripping.
AMAZING.






If you can use hairspray.....you can do this.
It is EASY!!!

Think of this;
you can use white fabric on those breakfast chairs
even with a house full of preschoolers.


I hope you check this 'NEVER WET' out.
You can pick it up at HOME DEPOT.
It is about  $ 19.00  and covers 15 sq. ft.

A Home - Beacon Hill



Normally I am not a blue person....
it has to be done just right.
I really like when deeper blues are accented with green.
It has a great feel.


This is the outside of this home on Beacon Hill in Boston.

Federal Style  c.1828


You can't beat silver leaf { or gold leaf } walls for glamour!!




Cute and funky.
Character.....No?


Some parts of this home do not seem to be DECORATED.
I love a designer who can achieve high design
and create a home that still feels inviting and lived in .

I would hangout here, 
and I never would have used the colors and textures 
that were put together in this breakfast space.

It's Sophisticated.



Zinc covered desk.
I love the look.


See....
designed but, lived in.


Have a happy July 4th!

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.
