(See Page 12) In this island paradise, we all do our best to keep it simple – espe- cially when it comes to the somewhat labored process of buying or selling a home. Although there isn’t a lot that industry professionals can do to make the paperwork and finances disappear, sellers and designers can make a home move-in ready by outfitting it with every- thing needed to live a comfortable island lifestyle. A primary residence is often decorated with heirlooms, personal collections and photos, and other sentimental decor; however, this is not usually the case with secondary or vacation homes often found in Hawaii so interior designers step up to the plate to create interior styles that appeal to a variety of luxury home buyers. Hawaii lends particularly well to the fully furnished market as homes are often purchased for part time residences, vacationing, or rental property investment. International buyers and those from the mainland need furnishings to be local and readily accessible. So, when outfitting a home turn to the kama’aina companies who rep- resent the best of Hawaii’s international culture. 87zero Designer Furnishings sells furniture for all rooms, indoors and out, to indi- viduals and designers interested in a modern island style.
