<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Detroit is full of beautiful homes and neighborhoods, and we’ve all heard
the stories of people buying a mansion for $1.00, and on, and on. While that
may have been true, you can expect to pay a bit more for a house with great bones
in a great neighborhood today. I toured most every neighborhood of any renown
in Detroit, and came away very excited about the possibility of being a part of
Detroit’s renaissance. “I could save Detroit”, I told myself “One house at a time!”

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">As one would logically expect, with so much urban flight out of the city
in the days of segregation, the suburbs flourished and the city’s urban core
began its downward spiral. What I want to share with you in this article is the
beauty of these inner city neighborhoods, and let you see what I saw, a city on
the brink of a true renaissance. There is so much opportunity here to develop
and restore existing vacant homes and land. “Is it too early?” I asked that
question and was told more than once that, “It’s already happening”. Is there
still an opportunity? Yes indeed, but the time is now… it’s here for the
taking.</span></div>

Great Irish Potato Famine of the 1840s caused heavy Irish migration to the
United States in droves, and by the middle of the 19th century, they were the
largest ethnic group settling in Detroit.<span style="color: blue;"> </span>They
were primarily from County Cork, and thus the neighborhood came to be known as
Corktown. The area is quickly becoming gentrified with old red brick factory buildings
being converted to lofts. I tried to eat at Gold Cash Gold, a former jewelry
and loan pawn shop that is now one of the hottest restaurants in the city, the
wait at 4:00 in the afternoon was 2-1/2 hours! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

David Whitney House was built between 1890 and 1894 by the lumber baron David
Whitney Jr., who was considered not only one of Detroit's wealthiest
personalities, but also one of Michigan's wealthiest citizens. The house is
estimated to have cost $400,000 (approx. $10,500,000 today). Constructed using
pink Jasper, it has 21,000sq.ft, 52 rooms, 20 fireplaces, and numerous Tiffany
glass windows. The Tiffany glass windows have been estimated to be worth more
than the house itself.<u><sup><span style="color: blue;"> </span></sup></u>The
grand staircase features a massive stained glass window portraying a knight,
paying homage to the various members of the Whitney family who were knighted,
as well as their lineage to Royal blood line in England. The house was the
first residential home in Detroit to have an elevator. </span></div>

I was invited to a pre-“Nain
Rouge” party at one of the restored homes which was located just a block off
the parade route. The <b>Nain Rouge</b>, French for "red dwarf", is a
mythical creature whose appearance is said to presage terrible events for the
city, with sightings that began as far back as 1701. Called the <i>Marche du Nain
Rouge</i>, this event is a revival of an early tradition in the legend of the Nain
Rouge. At the conclusion of the parade, an effigy of the imp was destroyed,
thus banishing the evil spirit from the city for another year.<br />

<i>The Albert Capitol Park- Residents Dog Wash Station</i></div>
<span lang="EN"><br /></span>
<span lang="EN">And lastly but not least, <b>Downtown</b>: Residentially speaking, downtown
is 100% leased up, and there is a waiting list for one of the newly converted
lofts that have been made from former office towers. Forget about buying a
condo downtown because the buildings were sold with incentives so rich that it
is worth it for the developer to hold it for the required 8 years before
reselling the building or units. The incentives set off a a race among developers
who can’t buy them fast enough, covert them, and lease them. There isn’t a
single condo for sale in downtown Detroit under $1,000,000. The neatest loft
building we toured was <b>The Albert on Capital Park</b>, a building whose history includes
having been built on the site of Detroit’s historic Underground Railroad which
helped slaves gain their freedom. The Albert has every amenity a young college recruit
could want: A Doorman, Social Room with Billiards and Bar, a community Dog Wash
room, a Laundry room with multi-media, and the coolest view of the city from
every room of your apartment.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN">In conclusion, Detroit is a fun
place to be. Real estate is a play, and the time is now. My one concern for
development is that with the city in its current state of disrepair is that the city leaders may feel compelled to approve real estate development and
projects that aren't up to par as far as the city’s rich architectural heritage
is concerned. Please, please, please, dear city leaders of Detroit, don’t do what so many other cities have done of late -- approving second rate
projects filled with second rate design and materials just to get something
going. remember: Too many rental apartment buildings are your next slum.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span lang="EN"><br /></span>
<span lang="EN">There is real opportunity in both jobs
and in housing. If I were a recent college graduate, Detroit would be high on my list of places to consider living and working. Have a look.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444;">Steve Schmidt is a Southern California native who works with found objects, re-contextualizing and transforming them into minimalist sculptural forms rooted in time and place. Schmidt's pieces are firmly connected to the overlapping heritages of assemblage and found art, yet are focused on creating a heightened awareness</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444;"> of the impact of industrial materials on our contemporary world. Using accumulation as a strategy, he collects materials to produce his artwork from his surroundings which are often cast-offs from our consumer society. That said, Schmidt seeks out the ultimate transformation of these materials into transcendent, beguiling objects that challenge our viewer to recover the materials humble sources. Schmidt has exhibited extensively in California in both solo and group exhibitions. </span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Born in Seattle, Davis Birks chose his profession as an artist at the age of nine. Moving to Mexico after completing his studies at Arizona State University, Birks settled in Guadalajara in 1987. His career there during sixteen years has been punctuated with polemic exhibitions. His art, method of working and participation in that cultural community have made a significant impact, influencing younger and older artists alike. His exhibitions include major museums and galleries in Mexico, as well as galleries and museums in the United States and Europe. His work can be found in the collections of the Santa Barbara Museum of Art, Museum of Fine Arts, Houston and the Museum of Fine Arts, Guadalajara. Birks lives and works in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.</span></span><br />

"She may be Paul McCartney's daughter, but Stella McCartney earned her way into the ranks of fashion's most elite designers. She learned tailoring while working on London's Savile Row, did an internship with Christian Lacroix, and served as creative director at Chloe (succeeding none other than Karl Lagerfeld). She launched her own label in 2001 and has made her mark with sweet and sophisticated designs that reflect both her signature style and her personal philosophy by incorporating a natural confidence and consciously avoiding all use of leather and fur." -Neiman Marcus</div>

We ordered some ombre haired pillows for the showroom, little did we know that one would end up with a mohawk! We embraced its wildness and it became one of the hottest pieces on the floor with people stopping to admire the pillow's bold hairstyle.</div>

<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
The exact translation of the French word "Ombre" means "Light to Dark" in English. The Huffignton Post quoted the Ombre Hairstyle as the "Hairtrend Hollywood Can't Live Without". The Ombre fashion trend is seen in hairstyles, clothing, nailpolish, scarfs, cakes and Jewelry, it has also spilled into furnishings and art. At Cabana Home, we currently have ombre pillows, throws and accessories.</div>

Reacting to Southern California living, Alaskan <strong>R. Nelson Parrish</strong> voices his work through color. Drawing from skiing, surfing, and auto racing, Parrish uses personal experience as a source material for the creation of objects comprised of resin, pigment resin, racing stripes, wood and fiberglass. The resulting works are hybrid of painting and sculpture. They seek to be a visual translation of the kinetic movement experienced through adrenaline sports and the rapid advancement of high speed technology. Ultimately Parrish seeks to meld these emotions, and seemingly disparate elements, and consider the question of natural verses synthetic.</div>

<strong>Ruth Pastine</strong> was born and raised in New York City. In 2001 she relocated to Southern California, where she currently works and resides. Today, Pastine continues to explore and evolve the concept of Minimalist theory. Through her work, color and light are reduced to their most elemental form; thousands of tiny brush strokes appear visually seamless, producing an image that is both objective and dematerialized. Challenging our preconceptions, Pastine explores the subtle character of color. Pastine's manipulation of color, light and matter questions the visual experience and redefines the perceptual field.<a data-mce-href="http://www.cabanahome.com/2013/01/january-art-show/counter-point-32/" href="http://www.cabanahome.com/2013/01/january-art-show/counter-point-32/" rel="attachment wp-att-3429"><br /></a><a data-mce-href="http://205.134.226.46/2013/01/january-art-show/counterpoint-35/" href="http://205.134.226.46/2013/01/january-art-show/counterpoint-35/" rel="attachment wp-att-3435"><img alt="counterpoint #35" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3435" data-mce-src="http://205.134.226.46/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/counterpoint-35.jpeg" height="460" src="http://205.134.226.46/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/counterpoint-35.jpeg" style="border: 0px; cursor: default; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="460" /></a><a data-mce-href="http://205.134.226.46/2013/01/january-art-show/counterpoint-33/" href="http://205.134.226.46/2013/01/january-art-show/counterpoint-33/" rel="attachment wp-att-3434"><img alt="Counterpoint #33" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3434" data-mce-src="http://205.134.226.46/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/Counterpoint-33.jpeg" height="460" src="http://205.134.226.46/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/Counterpoint-33.jpeg" style="border: 0px; cursor: default; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="460" /></a><a data-mce-href="http://205.134.226.46/2013/01/january-art-show/counterpoint-30/" href="http://205.134.226.46/2013/01/january-art-show/counterpoint-30/" rel="attachment wp-att-3433"><img alt="Counterpoint #30" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3433" data-mce-src="http://205.134.226.46/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/Counterpoint-30.jpeg" height="460" src="http://205.134.226.46/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/Counterpoint-30.jpeg" style="border: 0px; cursor: default; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="460" /></a><a data-mce-href="http://205.134.226.46/2013/01/january-art-show/counterpoint-29/" href="http://205.134.226.46/2013/01/january-art-show/counterpoint-29/" rel="attachment wp-att-3432"><img alt="Counterpoint #29" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3432" data-mce-src="http://205.134.226.46/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/Counterpoint-29.jpeg" height="460" src="http://205.134.226.46/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/Counterpoint-29.jpeg" style="border: 0px; cursor: default; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="460" /></a><a data-mce-href="http://205.134.226.46/2013/01/january-art-show/counterpoint-12/" href="http://205.134.226.46/2013/01/january-art-show/counterpoint-12/" rel="attachment wp-att-3431"><img alt="Counterpoint #12" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3431" data-mce-src="http://205.134.226.46/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/Counterpoint-12.jpeg" height="460" src="http://205.134.226.46/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/Counterpoint-12.jpeg" style="border: 0px; cursor: default; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="460" /></a><a data-mce-href="http://205.134.226.46/2013/01/january-art-show/counterpoint-8/" href="http://205.134.226.46/2013/01/january-art-show/counterpoint-8/" rel="attachment wp-att-3430"><img alt="Counterpoint #8" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3430" data-mce-src="http://205.134.226.46/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/Counterpoint-8.jpeg" height="460" src="http://205.134.226.46/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/Counterpoint-8.jpeg" style="border: 0px; cursor: default; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="460" /></a><a data-mce-href="http://205.134.226.46/2013/01/january-art-show/counter-point-32/" href="http://205.134.226.46/2013/01/january-art-show/counter-point-32/" rel="attachment wp-att-3429"><img alt="Counter Point #32" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3429" data-mce-src="http://205.134.226.46/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/Counter-Point-32.jpeg" height="460" src="http://205.134.226.46/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/Counter-Point-32.jpeg" style="border: 0px; cursor: default; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="460" /></a></div>

Baker Katrine Chest by Milling Road</h3>
<div data-mce-style="text-align: center;" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; text-align: center;">

<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
The Katrine Chest has a distinctive breakfront form and a mottled Frost finish. A raised and reeded diamond motif changes with the light-a playful graphic quality and effortless designer touch.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
Suitable for a bedroom, dining room, or the living room, this is a very practical way to contrast a wall color. The Frost finish has its own character, but it also richens the backdrop. The result is a clean lined statement readily mixed with traditional, casual, and even contemporary interiors. Proof that a standout item doesn’t have to be forced or fussy.</div>
