Sustainable Design in Kailua Kona.

“I frequent their shop in Hawai'i at the Shops at Mauna Lani. Eric and his team have done a number of projects for my real estate clients. They truly will provide "a piece, a room, a home" --a small project or a large one with the same attention to detail and professionalism. I appreciate that they have such a knack for truly listening to their client. They also have the tact to sometimes save us from ourselves. The best reference they could get is the number of clients who hire them for multiple homes!”

“Candice was extremely helpful when I was trying to redecorate our master bedroom. She listened to what I was looking for and created a beautiful layout of what our room could look like. We were on a shoestring budget and she would always be around to respond to message from me when i was out thrifting which was extremely helpful. She has a great eye for colors and all things design and I felt so comfortable handing the design reigns over to her.”

“If outrageous design talent, heart-centered communication, and impeccable response-ability matter to you then look no further, you have found your Interior Designer. Ka'Haiya Sophia's talent and skill are uniquely beyond compare, but it's the magic and love she pours into her work that really sets her apart. She is truly a creator of beauty in every sense of the word!”

“Our project was our new home. From the ground up, Sue & her team, Trans-Pacific Designs, worked with our architect & builder to realize our vision of our seaside home. We had specific ideas on how the house would look & feel & Sue was able to interpret those into a home that flows, not a jumble of disjointed rooms. She listened & then searched until she found just the solution that worked for the house & for us. Built-in furniture in living room & library, vanities in master, guest & powder room plus a lovely koa island in our kitchen were all designed & overseen by Sue in the construction phase. She was able to coordinate with painters, furniture makers & other related subcontractors. If problems arose, she & her team corrected them. If I wanted a certain light fixture or sofa she made it happen, even if it meant working with companies who do not normally ship to Hawaii. As an example of perseverance, my husband requested a recliner for watching television but the one we had picked was discontinued. Sue discovered that the company still had some frames for that chair & were willing to finish them for us. Above & beyond! TransPacific Designs won an award for our kitchen which is probably my favorite room. Glass tiles in greens & blues for the backsplash & swirling aqua colored stained inserts that she found for the cabinets brought the ocean right inside. A dream realized!”

“We had a really great experience with Elizabeth of Interior Alchemy for the remodel of our rental beach cottage. She was very helpful and knowledgeable during the design phase of our project. We were so happy to have her feng shui expertise as well. Then months before work actually started, she did extensive research to find all the products and contractors we needed. She was determined to find exactly what we wanted, which wasn't easy as we had many requests. This included that products, if possible, be environmentally friendly, locally sourced and of course we had to like them. This was a tall order being on an island where almost everything is shipped in and contractors are not always available. Elizabeth helped us completely remodel the kitchen: new cabinets, appliances, flooring, fixtures, paint and so on. The bath got new a vanity, mirror, toilet, paint hardware and decor. Elizabeth found great new living room furniture, bar stools and picked out delightful paint and accessories. Same for the bedroom. Plus beautiful new flooring was placed throughout the cottage. With any project there are challenges. Elizabeth really stepped up to help problem solve anything that came up along the way. She worked on the project to the end, even helping with the final cleanup. We met our completion date and just love the cottage. We stayed in it ourselves for a week before renting it and didn't want to leave.”

“From the moment I met Kassandra she had an energy that was positive and rejuvenating. She has been such a pleasant and professional person to work with and we are grateful to have worked with her. My husband and I had bought our first condo in 2016. After living in it for 1 year and turning it into an air b&b, we discussed the ideas of renovation but didn’t have the time or creativity to execute such a plan. Upon meeting with Kassandra she listened intuitively, as we expressed our hopes for a space that could reflect both creativity and simplicity. Based off of our conversation, Kassandra, with limited time for this project, put herself in full swing and gave 100%, to make this dream a reality for us. She was so creative in the process and brought to life all of the visions we had. The condo is more than we could have imagined or could have hoped for. It is creative, simple and yet, vibrant and unique. Kassandra always took time to explain things to me and always made me feel at ease. She always responded promptly and effectively and went above and beyond the expectations of an interior designer. She puts her whole heart into everything she does and gives 100% to everything she is apart of. She is warm hearted and kind, professional and efficient and we are very pleased and blessed to have worked with such a kind and pleasant person. Thank you Kassandra for an experience I’ll never forget.”

“My husband and I have lived at the Mauna Kea Beach Resort for almost 25 years. We have known Shirley Wagner for most of that time. She is an extraordinary person and a wonderful decorator. Over the years she has worked with us so many times it would be hard to count them and we have always been totally satisfied with the results. She is tireless and creative but most importantly she listens so you end up living in a home that reflects you and your family. We are so happy with all we have done together on our last project. We recommend her to everyone we know and are always confident that they will be very happy with the end result.”

“I loved working with Ana! She designed my master bedroom and turned a bedroom/bathroom combo with a weird layout into a beautiful, refreshing and clean space. We were able to stay on budget and use a lot of the pieces we already had with some small tweaks that her husband luis was able to do.”
