The art house worked with Maybury State Park to have a group of local artists go for 3 days and produce paintings that shows the beauty and places in the park. Most did 3 or 4 paintings in different type of mediums depending on the artists strengths. The group went to the Live @ 5 Reception that opened the exhibit. Tickets were $35 for non members. Appetizers, 2 drink tickets, and live music from a harpist and a flute player from the Michigan Philharmonic. You also got to look at the art, shop the gift shop, meet some of artists and see the awards given out for the top pieces. A pleasant way to spend part of an evening talking to other art lovers and enjoying a cool summer evening while helping out a local organization that supports the arts. Looking forward to the event in September.

Viewing the exhibit is free of charge but donations are welcomed. The current exhibit is "Art That Pushes Boundaries" featuring the work of local artists. In addition to the exhibit, I noticed that a painting canvas kit was available for donation. The art house offers in-person classes including visual art training. Wouldn't it be nice if every town had an art house with exhibits and art education programs like this one? This is a wonderful community resource and I will be stopping by whenever there is a new exhibition.

These tiles which were the focus of my trip can be used as standalone art pieces, high end artistic back splashes, accent pieces and the list goes on and on. I am considering buying a beautiful Calaveras tile (Mexican Day of the dead celebration represented by colorfully decorated skull) for the tequila station I have in my basement bar. This is just one example of the some of the uses for these artistic tiles as they can add beauty in so many ways to your home. Overall I am a big fan of this business. If you enjoy browsing unique artwork and/or are looking for some accent art to add to your home than this is a business you should definately check out the next time you are in downtown Northville.

Seemed simple -- but then I had to remove this floor to ceiling blind and bring it back to them. No warranty! And it is going to cost upwards of $150 for a repairman to replace a cord. When I contested this issue, they said they are no longer a Hunter-Douglas authorized repair center. I asked why -- they said to take it up with Hunter Douglas, as they had no idea why. I then called Hunter Douglas and they said that Windows & Walls knows why. Anyway, Hunter Douglas referred me to Times for Blinds who is an authorized repair center for them. Major runaround, and it would be good to know what the process and warranties are - before you buy.

I've worked with Susie for many years and have purchased Hunter Douglas (at a great price!) and other treatments too. The entire team at Window Walls & More are so professional and stand behind their installations and products. And I have had a few product issues after the install that were not their fault, but they were my advocate and now they are perfect. I can't believe all of the reviews are not 5 stars. Their installer Tim is the best I've ever seen and he makes it perfect. Over many years I have gone back to them when remodeling my home. I recently remodeled my den and they came to my home with everything I needed. It's beautiful and as always the made the whole experience fun.

The painting is not only gorgeous in itself, it gets along perfectly with the rug and furniture. Everyone who comes to our house is struck by how it makes the room come alive. Sally Seymour
