Kalawao Street

Service: Full-Service Design

We had so much fun working with this couple on their three-story townhome in Manoa. The home already has this amazing traditional/cottage feel, which works really well with the client's personal tastes.

When we started the project, the walls were mint green and yellow, and the rooms were desperate for some fun pieces. The goals were to create functional, comfortable spaces that leaned into the clients’ Hawaiian and Serbian backgrounds, mixing a little bit of contemporary with a lot of fun. The couple loves to entertain and host family from out of town, so making sure there are enough seats for everyone, a good vibe, and a welcoming feel was our driving force.

We are so thrilled about how it turned out and so are the clients! We are currently working on phase two which includes, renovation, bedrooms, and new floors - yippee!
