Editorial Review:
Hawaii, A Sense of Place: Island Interior Design shows the development of home design in the islands as it incorporates the influences of a balmy climate, lush natural environment and richly diverse cultures. Its style is based on ease and informality, love of family and genuine warmth and that special brand of hospitality called aloha. Mary Philpotts McGrath has teamed with lifestyle writer, Kaui Philpotts, San Francisco-based photographer David Duncan Livingston, graphic designer Cindy Turner of Turner and de Vries, the Bernice P. Bishop Museum and Martin & MacArthur Enterprises Ltd., to create a stunning 236 page book with over 300 full-color photographs. For collectors and aficionados the world over, Hawaii, A Sense of Place will entice the senses and feed the desire to live in an Island-inspired home. For those about to create their own environments, here is a source book to help with getting it right.

Rating: - Great pics for decorating Hawaii-style
I read about this book in Sunset magazine. I love Lanais. I want one at my house! It has so many photos of traditional Hawaiian decor and great info about the lifestyle. It's a great coffee table book because of its size and photo content.
Rating: - A Fabuous Idea Book
This book is a treasure trove of design ideas. Perfect for the Aloha decorator. The book is of high quality and the pictures are very professional.
