The livingroom of Haunani House has a peaked ceiling, and skylights covered by antique Chinese window grates. At night the skylights are backlit by dimmer lights. The floors are Indian slate, with Pakistani area carpets, and the furniture is bamboo, with cushions covered by colorful Malaysian batik cloth. There is a lovely bonsai donated by Fuku-Bonsai, the Big Island's premier bonsai nursery, and the central work of art is a lithograph by renowned Hawaii painter Tabora.
There is an entertainment center with cable TV and VCR, and a small stereo featuring cable radio and CD player. A cordless phone is also located in the living area. A Jotul gas fireplace is centrally located in the living/dining area, to keep the house nice and warm on cold nights and mornings. The Douglas fir windows throughout the house are double-paned to insure that the atmosphere inside remains quiet and comfortable.
The extensive remodeling of Haunani House during the year 2000 was carried out by the wonderous Volcano carpenter, George W*%#szn&!ski, and by our own Todd Marohnic.
