Tropical Living Room Designed by Tristyn Kalama from HGTV’s Renovation Aloha
The team of Kamohai and Tristyn Kalama renovate homes on the island of Oahu and then stage them for quick sale.
Sourcing Logistics for Island Homes
It is hard enough to wait for furnishings to be made and shipped in the contiguous U.S. Imagine the difficulty in getting just the right furniture if you are on an island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.
To get just the right look for their properties, the Kalama team has to select and order items to be shipped by sea…an endeavor that takes months, not days or weeks that most of us are used to.
Every item needs to be sourced well in advance of the home’s remodeling completion. It is this fact that makes what this team accomplishes in a matter of 8-10 weeks truly remarkable.
