That is my great grandfather and grandmother's home, where my grandmother grew up, and my father lived just down the street, and spent many a family holiday! Oh how I love going back to Cranbrook to visit. <br /><br />My favorite part of Cranbrook is the stained glass window of the dog which accidentally hung itself while the family was out-of-town. Now a days, people know not to tether dogs, but things were different back then. Animals were such a huge part of this side of my family's life. You now know where Miss Muddy Paws gets it from! I love looking through all the photos from Cranbrook and the Detroit homes of my grandparents, great grandparents, and great great grandparents with their dogs and horses. <br /><br />Cranbrook is truly a perfect setting for a wedding!Miss Muddy Pawshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04929933904266166107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6117194181116669144.post-9776521658846807172010-06-06T09:07:08.948-07:002010-06-06T09:07:08.948-07:00Lisa-I just came across this post of Cranbrook and...Lisa-I just came across this post of Cranbrook and loved it. I'm in the process of planning a wedding there as well. I wondered if your brother has pictures of his wedding posted anywhere online? If so, could you point me in the right direction?

The universal nature of beauty can make a crumbling tower in Scotland seem like the long-lost twin of a Hindu temple in Jaipur. I've seen it, too.

In all my trips, include business ones, I try to find places like the one you have shown us. I'm amazed on how much your photos look like the ones that I have taken around in similar places, not that they are the same, but the angle and subjects are very similar. I have been visiting your blog over the weekend and I’m enjoying every piece of it.

Thanks for the reminder...<br /><br />balsamfir: Very interesting about the windows. So not only do casements look better, but they're just as heat-retaining as the new ones? Even more of a reason to stick with the pretty ones.<br /><br />SimplyMel: If you go, be sure to visit the Saarinen House, which is open to the public on certain days. It's a revelation. <br /><br />http://www.cranbrookart.edu/museum/images/saarinen/saarinen_guide.pdf<br /><br />ASuperDilettante and PVE: I knew you both would like it! xx<br /><br />Tavarua: Your peripatetic travels leave me breathless.

Your point about windows is well made. I found out that despite popular belief, retrofitting double panes into old windows often doesn't improve the R value much more than really good reglazing, with storms and sealing. Its also, at least around here, three times the price of custom made real sash from a local carpenter.balsamfirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12347379810451503618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6117194181116669144.post-69913837998674401042009-10-12T19:14:44.339-07:002009-10-12T19:14:44.339-07:00oh, and the diego rivera murals in the detroit art...oh, and the diego rivera murals in the detroit art institutesmallbutcharming.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6117194181116669144.post-56245632023472976032009-10-12T19:06:19.041-07:002009-10-12T19:06:19.041-07:00cranbrook and belle isle, two good reasons to reme...cranbrook and belle isle, two good reasons to remember michigan. thank you, i had forgotten about them.....and the gardens at cranbrook, thanks for painting such a beautiful picture.smallbutcharmingnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6117194181116669144.post-81036370331785726332009-10-12T18:59:10.139-07:002009-10-12T18:59:10.139-07:00Oh my goodness....where in the world have I been?!...Oh my goodness....where in the world have I been?!

You,my dear, have a way with words that is quite wonderful, and an eye that will draw me back again quite often! And your home! Their is a story behind every piece I am sure!
