Luxury Home Magazine

I’ve often wondered how I ended up with a job in publishing – where I sit in front a computer all day – when I truly love being outdoors. Admittedly, I am a fair weather outdoor enthusiast; I’m not a survivalist, into storm chasing, or extreme sports. Simply put, I love the sun. Add a cool breeze, a lounge chair, and a good magazine, and this is my happy place . Thankfully, I don’t always have to choose between working inside and enjoying a bit of sunshine. Don’t tell the boss but most work afternoons are spent on the patio getting vitamin D and trying to diffuse the glare on my laptop screen! Surely, I’m not the only one who would rather sit on her lanai than in an office, which is why Hawaii’s houses, residential communities, and even condominiums, cater to an outdoor lifestyle. Turn to the featured editorial to explore more of Hawaii’s Indoor/ Outdoor lifestyle. Discover how, through the use of smart design, luxury homes in Hawaii are best positioned to appreciate, utilize, and respect the outdoors. If you are interested in learning more, I invite you to contact me or get in touch with one of the Realtors or Industry Professionals in Pacific Luxury Living ™ and Luxury Home Magazine ®. We can help find you the best home to comfortably enjoy the sun, shade, and refreshing breeze. To see if a home is a good fit for you, just bring your own reading material – I will happily lend you my lounge chair and mix you a mai tai!
