’ve just returned from a snowboarding trip to Japan, where temperatures hovered around a freezing 32 degrees. And though it took awhile to defrost, the winter weather in Japan was a delight. The low-80-degree weather was nice here in Hawaii this past winter, too, except when the winds were a bit too strong to leave my windows open. Before the heat of summer hits and I turn on my A/C, I want to enjoy the comfortable spring air all season long. The first day of spring is March 19 – just a couple of days after St. Patrick’s Day! – and I’m thinking green. My spring projects are fairly small, but I hope they’ll grow into something big. I’m tending to the houseplants that were a bit thirsty while I was on vacation, and will spend a Saturday picking out a few new ones to bring into my home. In this issue we’ve planted a few seeds to help with some of your home-improvement projects, from ideas on landscape design and gardening tools to decking materials and more. If you’re focused on the inside of your home, we have ideas for that, too: locally designed home

It has been in Mike Kai’s family for three generations, originally at his grandparents’ home in Hilo on the Big Island. Kai’s cousin restored the mango wood, and had it reupholstered by John’s Upholstery in a refreshing turquoise fabric. An assortment of pillows from Noho Home brings even more modern Hawaiiana to the piece. See the Kai family’s kitchen renovation starting on page 18.

TURNING DARK TO LIGHT Transforming a dark, closed-in kitchen to a bright, airy place. STORY BY STEPHANIE SILVERSTEIN PHOTOS BY OLIVIER KONING FEATURING PACIFIC SOURCE

hawaiihomemag.com • MARCH 2020 • 19

his bright, open kitchen was once a dark cavelike room. Lisa and Mike Kai had lived in their Kailua home for six years before renovating, cooking family meals and inviting over only the closest of friends to share in their space. “It wasn’t inspiring,” Mike says of their original kitchen. “But Lisa is a great cook and she did a lot with what we had.” They became friends with designer Hinano Nahinu, who they met through their daughters’ volleyball club. The Kais heard she was one of the top kitchen designers on Oahu, so when they were contemplating renovating, they turned to their friend for advice. Nahinu, a certified kitchen and bath designer at Pacific Source, helped the Kais realize a vision for the heart of their home. She suggested removing two of the walls that closed in the space and adding an island – something the Kais were unsure was possible before Nahinu came along. These changes would let an abundance of natural light into the space, while opening it up for more movement and a better entertaining atmosphere. “Light always drives out darkness,” Nahinu says. “That darkness resonated with me throughout the entire project. This area lacked lighting, it was very dated, and anything I can do to bring in light was my goal for the project.” Lisa expressed she wanted a white kitchen, which Nahinu rightfully interpreted as “light.” Her plans for their renovation include two-tone Bellmont Cabinet Co. 1900 Series cabinetry, with the upper cabinets in Roanoke textured laminate, a new color that pairs well with the lower perimeter bianco white matte cabinet doors. The flat black pulls complement the Roanoke’s black grains, and tie in the Caesarstone empira white quartz countertops, which also have touches of a black marble pattern. Together, the materials bring light and warmth into the space. “We needed to get away from the darker palette, but lighter wood would complement the other wood tones in the room, and the white was much more crisp with the lighter Roanoke,” Nahinu explains.

PMI Builders added customizations to the kitchen, including a barn door, behind which is now the pantry. The door’s flat black hardware matches the cabinetry pulls and sink faucet.

The cabinetry drawers are equipped with the Legrabox storage system, which helps keep the space well-organized and items easily accessible. The upper cabinetry has a manual bifold door system, with low-profile undercabinet LED lighting installed by electrician Ryan Chong of RRC Professional Services. The Kais opted for GE Monogram appliances, including the Advantium wall oven, which makes cooking quite convenient. A Sub-Zero refrigerator, with a food preservation system, helps keep the family’s fruits and vegetables fresh longer. They selected gray porcelain tile flooring and the same gray paint used throughout the first floor of their home to tie it all together. “Now I feel my whole house blends really well,” Lisa says. Even better, they’re much more comfortable entertaining than before. “It’s so beautiful. It’s the kind of space that you can feel creative in,” Mike says. “It means so much to our family to entertain and to welcome family. … Hospitality is really big with me and Lisa. “That whole area now, blending it with the entire dining room area, is a super inviting place for people. That’s where we express our generosity, it’s the place where we express our hospitality; it’s beyond entertainment.”

A home renovation is centered around its expansive view.

or the owners of this two-story home in the private gated community of Hawaii Loa Ridge, it’s all about the high ceilings and sweeping view. It’s what drove them to make the home their own. “It had good bones and potential, but it was the view,” says the homeowner. Although the view is incredible, the house’s interior needed adjustments, so the wife and her husband decided to renovate upon moving in. But after nearly 25 years of living there, pieces of their family home were falling apart. It was time for another renovation. Evolving in stages throughout the years, the home’s renovation began with a walk-in closet designed by California Closets. “It was always something I wanted to do, make it into a walk-in closet and have his-andher closets,” the homeowner says. The walk-in closet, which is connected to the master bathroom, features tall closet systems to hang shirts and blouses and customized drawers and shelving with a built-in countertop for folded clothing, purses and craft supplies.

The master bathroom was next on the list; for years, the couple had addressed mounting shower and cabinet issues with quick fix-ups. “Back then, we didn’t think long term,” she shares of the first renovation. The homeowner reached out to California Closets’ sister company, Plus Interiors, for the design and Ohia Construction was tasked with the construction. “Working with Ohia Construction was amazing,” says the homeowner. The focus was to clean up and simplify, says Corrine Tadaki Davis of Plus Interiors. The homeowner wanted to keep the same layout and theme of the bathroom, including updating an old furo, a Japanese-style bath and shower, with a newer one. To mirror the look of the walk-in closet, warm tones were used in the master bathroom as seen in the slab maple natural cabinets and emerald pearl granite countertop. An 8-foot mirror was installed in one single piece above the stretch of cabinetry that features dual sinks and a vanity. “I just love the openness of it and the feel,” says the homeowner, noting that Tadaki Davis was able to create a balanced space that amplified the storage available. “I have a space for everything — I even have a makeup drawer. I can just sit there and do my makeup.”

Adding more useful storage was also a theme in the design of the new kitchen, but the driving force was the view, which the former layout failed to optimize, shares Tadaki Davis. “The storage wasn’t adequate, the drawers were falling apart,” she adds. There was a lot of work to be done to make it more functional for the homeowners’ everyday lives. Plus Interiors’ design took down a portion of the kitchen’s entryway walls to open it up to the living area. A breakfast nook in the corner did nothing to take advantage of the view, so it needed to go. The open kitchen now has an expansive perimeter countertop with Silestone Eternal Calacatta Gold quartz for durability. There’s enough space for two to sit and enjoy breakfast while looking out at the ocean.

The dark kitchen island helps break up the overall white look of the space — from the cabinets and perimeter countertop to the marble tile floor.

The homeowner wanted to keep the kitchen’s marble tile flooring, so it served as the basis for the overall color scheme and design. Slab acrylic white door-style custom cabinets were chosen to complement it and the perimeter countertop. The cabinets are accessorized and feature tall pantries with several rollout shelves. In addition to brandnew appliances, there’s an appliance garage with added task light and refrigerator drawers below it for beverages. The large kitchen island is a stark contrast to all the white in the room. “We thought that so much white would be just like a whiteout,” says Tadaki Davis of the decision to go darker. Outfitted with an induction cooktop, the island features Silestone Eternal Emperador quartz countertop with waterfall edges.

28 • MARCH 2020 • hawaiihomemag.com

Now, with the optimization of storage space and ample surface area, using the kitchen is a dream for the owner. “I love the feel of the kitchen — I have a space for everything. That’s the bottom line,” she shares. But most importantly, she says, the view is captured from all angles. The first thing you notice when you walk in is the view, shares Tadaki Davis. “That’s what you’re buying, the view, so that was the main objective.” “I wouldn’t do any bathroom or kitchen without working with Corrine,” shares the homeowner. “I liked working with her a lot. She’s very collaborative … she’s open to everything and anything you have to say. “I think she did a fantastic job.”

above right: Custom cabinets feature tall pantries with rollout shelves in each to store pots, pans and ceramics that were passed down over three generations. right: On one side of the room, there’s new Bosch appliances and an appliance garage with additional task lighting, plus Sub-Zero refrigerated drawers below.

hen contemplating renovations to her home, Michelle Maeda had simply written off the idea as a dream that might or might not happen. But when the pipes and plumbing needed immediate attention, she saw it as her chance to act. “It gave us an obvious opportunity to upgrade the kitchen,” she says. Maeda, who owns a floral design company called Flower Girls Hawaii, shares this two-story house on a hill with her husband and son. Tight quarters made it difficult for the family to fully enjoy their kitchen; the goal of this renovation was to create a workable space. After hearing the positive results of a friend’s kitchen remodel, Maeda reached out to All Things New for the build, which then recommended Blueprint 808 Architecture for the design. “The collaboration with Blueprint 808 Architecture helped us help the homeowner,” says Richard Breaux of All Things New. “The professional, knowledgeable service given by Andrew [Forman] helped make the process a lot smoother.” “The communication is constant and clear throughout the process,” says Andrew Forman of Blueprint 808 Architecture on working with All Things New. With a limited footprint and a budget in place, the team made arrangements to fulfill the family’s wants and needs. “The wish list included opening up the kitchen to the living areas, relocating appliances for improved functionality and eliminating upper cabinets at the island,” says Forman. “The new island would be multifunctional and include pendant right: Together, glossy white acrylic cabinets, a glazed ceramic tile backsplash and prefabricated granite countertop provide a clean, modern look to this kitchen.

lights for prep work and dining.” The once closed-off room was completely gutted — including the removal of a wall between the kitchen and living area — revealing an open and connected space. Appliances and fixtures, like the refrigerator and sink, were relocated to improve the overall flow and function. For the look of the space, Maeda focused on clean, modern materials. Acrylic glossy white cabinets and prefabricated granite countertops were among the pieces chosen. “We love the color and natural design,” Maeda says of the countertop selection. A large format ceramic tile was selected for the backsplash, something different from the typical subway tile you would see, shares Maeda. A mix of gold hardware

stands out against the white cabinetry and adds a bit of flair. “I think the small details make a difference,” she says. “The clean and sleek elements from the hardware to the tile layout, to the color scheme, gives an overall feel of calm while the flow makes movement in the kitchen freer,” shares Breaux. The renovation has made it easier for the family to enjoy cooking and entertaining in their new kitchen. “Our idea of a renovation was to improve the look of the kitchen. I had no idea it would change our lifestyle and our mood,” says Maeda. “It’s just pleasant to come home now. We’re all a bit more relaxed and we all make an effort to keep it clean. I can sit at the island with a cup of coffee and just relax and enjoy being there.”

PREVENT EROSION. Retaining walls provide a nice framework for plants and other yard ornaments, while keeping soil where it belongs.

REDUCE AIR POLLUTANTS. Certain plants naturally filter air of chemicals and other toxins linked to health problems. According to the Hawaiian Export Nursery Association, or HENA, some of the best plants to keep your air breathable include Rhapis excelsa (lady palm), Chamaedorea seifrizii (bamboo palm), Dracaena Janet Craig, Ficus “alii,” Dracaena fragrans (corn plant), Dracaena warneckii, Dracaena marginata (dragon tree), Norfolk Island pine, Dendrobium orchids, anthuriums and Phalaenopsis orchids. Ask your landscape designer to incorporate some of these air purifiers around your property. hawaiihomemag.com • MARCH 2020 • 35

FINANCE

Q&A Kelii Peltier, AVP Loan Administrator, NMLS # 489883 HawaiiUSA Federal Credit Union

What’s the best way to finance a brand-new landscape design project? A: A home equity line of credit, or HELOC, is a great option. Payments are usually divvied over 180 months, or 15 years. HELOCs are perfect if you are looking for the lowest rate and can pay the balance down significantly. Most HELOC programs have promotional rates; you want to try to take care of whatever balance you can during this promotional period. Interest-only programs — though attractive due to the lower payments — leave the principal balance unchanged. Without reducing your principal, your interest charges will never go down, which means the balance will always be looming in the background of your financial picture. Be sure to consult your tax adviser to explore any and all possible tax options you may have.

Q: What’s the most common problem or issue you’ve come across with homeowners who are trying to finance a landscape design project, and how can they avoid it? A: The biggest issue is usually the variance between someone’s projected budget versus their actual spend. Things always change and plans don’t always play out as expected. Factor in a buffer into your budget, which will help with unexpected costs.

A: It depends on what the project is and how fluid things will be. If you know exactly how much you need and want fixed terms and payments, a second mortgage makes a lot of sense; there’s no surprises in what you’re paying back each month because of the fixed structure. But if you need more open-endedness and have the desire to utilize financing if and when you need it, a HELOC would work well. It gives much more flexibility.

On Deck Key components that’ll make your outdoor space more usable. BY STEPHANIE KIM

he start of a new season means new opportunities for indoor-outdoor fun, and with the latest advancements in the home industry, creating an optimal outdoor space is easier than ever. “As the line between indoor and outdoor living continues to blur, there are more options than ever before for creating beautiful — and functional — outdoor spaces,” shares Jennifer Wilde of Feeney Inc. “From adding a fire pit or water feature to building an outdoor kitchen, it’s easy to create spaces

that shine.” Wilde also recommends making different activity zones for dining, unwinding and entertaining if you have enough room. “Even small spaces can be turned into inviting havens through the strategic use of space,” she adds. For example, trellises or garden walls use vertical space to provide privacy. Make sure you are making the most of your deck or lanai with these key components that’ll enhance your home and create a functional, stylish space to celebrate the outdoors.

“As the line between indoor and outdoor living continues to blur, there are more options than ever before for creating beautiful — and functional — outdoor spaces.”

DECKING

Possibly the most essential piece to your outdoor space is your deck, the base of all your get-togethers under the sun. Consider TimberTech AZEK™ decking, which is made of a composite material and designed to handle it all — rain or shine. “A TimberTech deck can turn your yard, patio or lanai into the outdoor living space of your dreams,” says Patrick Barnds of TimberTech/ AZEK. “TimberTech uses technology and recycled materials to make beautiful decking products that look just like natural wood, but are more sustainable, longer lasting and virtually maintenance free.” This makes it well suited for Hawaii’s tropical climate. Plus, there are numerous collections for you to choose from, like the Harvest collection, which offers soft tones and traditional styles, and the Vintage collection, the most versatile selection. Mix and match sizes — narrow, standard and wide — and select from an array of colors and styles.

“Railing not only adds an element of safety to the outdoors, but it can also make a style statement, helping to ‘frame’ an outdoor living area,” says Wilde. For a low-maintenance option, aluminum railing systems like Feeney’s DesignRail® can be made to match other features of your exterior for a cohesive look, or to create a nice contrast. “We’re seeing more interesting designs and patterns in railings along with more customization options,” shares Wilde. “For example, laser cut aluminum and wire mesh panel infills … add a lot of design flexibility and can really bring a ‘wow’ factor to an outdoor space.” Wilde also suggests Feeney’s new powdercoated wood-grain finish, which mimics natural wood railings without the maintenance. “This top rail option for DesignRail® is not only highly durable, but also fade-resistant,” she says. Find it in walnut, cherry and weathered gray. You can find TimberTech AZEK™ products locally at Rinell Wood Systems and Hardware Hawaii, and Feeney Inc. products at HPM Building Supply and Rinell Wood Systems.

Spring Into Action pringtime is a season of opportunity for homeowners, a time for deep cleans and remodels. Some of the projects that offer the greatest value over time are upgrades that improve a home’s exterior or curb appeal, like a paint job or updated lanai. If you start now, you can plan to have the work done in time to enjoy your renewed outdoor space all summer long. Energy-efficient improvements also yield a high return on investment, like the installation of Energy-Star certified windows and doors to keep homes cool and ventilated throughout the summer. Whether you’re planning to live in your home for years to come or are getting ready to list it on the market, spring is an ideal time to apply for a home equity loan of credit, or HELOC, to fund

Whatever your home goals are for 2020, chat with a First Hawaiian Bank loan specialist to learn how a HELOC can work for you. For more information, visit any First Hawaiian Bank branch or go to FHB.com.

your home improvements. The local real estate market blooms during the spring and summer months, with home sales historically peaking in May. First Hawaiian Bank’s HELOC allows homeowners to capitalize on the value of their home, providing a line of credit secured by the value of their property. It can function as both a line of credit and a loan.

Holding Pattern Lively colors, designs and replications are expanding the world of tile. BY STEPHANIE KIM PHOTOS COURTESY OF MSI SURFACES

he use of patterned tile is one of the top home trends of 2020 — with more applications and styles being made available than ever before. Lindsey Nip of Selective Stone shares that as more manufacturers continue to refine their printing and production techniques, the possibilities of replication in tile production are endless.

For instance, cement art tile, a more expensive option due to its high maintenance and hand-painted nature, can now be replicated by porcelain manufacturers. According to Nip, these porcelain pieces with cement tile-inspired patterns are not only affordable, but also durable and easy to care for. “The substantial growth in the number of colors or patterns commercially available has, in turn, fueled a surge in homeowners and designers in choosing styles that are bold in color and pattern — adding that ‘wow’ factor they might have been missing,” he adds. From your kitchen backsplash to your bathroom walls, there are so many ways to incorporate different styles, colors and textures to add to the visual appeal and aesthetic of your entire abode. Read on to see all the ways you can play with patterns in your home.

This gorgeous bathroom features a combination of three varying tiles on the walls, backsplash and floors. The Kenzzi Paloma porcelain tile’s black-and-white pattern lends a vintage look and intricate design — a contrast to the glossy white subway tile that’s also used. The herringbone pattern of the Antoni Café Nero porcelain tile floor mimics the look of reclaimed hardwood and complements the overall contemporary feel of the room.

The shine and shimmer of the Italian-made Tetris Florita Blanco marble tile makes it an ideal choice for your kitchen, bathroom or even as an accent wall as your pièce de résistance.

The Azula Floret showcases a soft floral motif within a white square marble to make a stunning backsplash for this kitchen. Coupled with the slate gray backdrop and white veins of the Soapstone Metropolis countertop, the kitchen balances dark and light tones. “As darker colors become more popular with countertops, the backsplash tile helps not only to add flair with its unique and continuous pattern but also brighten things up and bridge the contrast of the darker lower cabinets with the bright upper cabinets,” shares Nip.

New Products, Trends in the Kitchen & Bath Industry National industry show highlights the latest innovations. BY CRIS JOHNSON

ne of the most exciting and inspiring industry events, the national Kitchen & Bath Industry Show in Las Vegas, attracted thousands of designers, contractors and vendors eager to showcase their innovative new products and trends. There were products to instantly transform your kitchen and bath, accessories to help organize your spaces, trends to elevate your entertaining game, and solutions to create relaxing environments. One of the most prevalent trends for countertops are dark and jewel toned colors with metal veining patterns. They create a rich focal point for islands or for unique guest baths. And materials for outdoor kitchens that can withstand the elements remain popular. Cabinets are available in so many options,

like rich high-gloss colors mixed with neutral and soft super matte tones and light wood grains; however, more thin stone cladding is making its way as cabinet door fronts. High-end cabinet accessories also dominated the show with superior hardware for creative storage options and easy operations. Customers are asking for upscale details for accessories, even if they are hidden behind cabinet doors. Think pantry storage that pulls out or rotates to make it easier to reach canned goods, pullout shelves at blind corners, remote operational upper cabinets, lighting within cabinet shelves, and other fun options. Manufacturers are also creating experiences for homeowners, and there’s more options than ever for entertaining friends. With the popularity of craft

cocktails, several companies are taking note and making it easier for the average homeowner to create amazing drinks. How about a refrigerator ice maker that can make ice globes for those fancy glasses of libations? There is also a filtration faucet that’s perfect for a bar countertop, indoors or out, with two separate lines in its pullout spout – one for filtered water and one for either beer, juice or wine. After all your entertaining, relax with your inshower spa experience. There is a hand shower with technology that provides aromatherapy essential oils through a pod (like those coffee pods) right in your bath. You can have a spa day without leaving your house.
