CUSTOMER REVIEWS:
Island design -
My wife purchased this book to help her with designing our new home on Maui. While our home doesn't look anything like any of those pictured in the book, it did give her many ideas and a sense of what she wanted for us.

Does not reflect cross section of Hawaiian Design -
Although beautifully presented I found this book one dimensional. In particular it seemed that the author's Interior work dominated.
A rare find: a generous, gorgeous and intelligent design book plump with photos and information, lovingly designed. -
Hawai'i: A Sense of Place, by Mary Philpotts McGrath, is a book written with intelligence, immense respect for its subject, and a true artist's eye. I read the entire book--something I don't often do when the photos are so satisfying--and I was very impressed with McGrath's high level of professionalism and gracious, articulate style. Not only is she at the top of her game but she's heads above all others. McGrath is an artist who `paints' with the landscape, furniture and elements at hand: she integrates the environmental and architectural influences with her clients needs. The photos illustrate the copy perfectly so you can actually learn something while enjoying this book! Another thing she has done is juxtapose charming sepia colored photos of buildings and furniture from Hawai'i in the 1930s 40s and 50s with appropriate full color photos of homes she's been commissioned to redesign. You can compare the old influence on the new. She has elevated what was once considered `kitsch' with an inspired respect for the deeper meaning and grace of Island style. She enhances everything she touches with a gentle knowing hand and it's gorgeous! The book is masterfully designed and plump with tons of photographs. Anyone interested in the beauty of the Islands and how to integrate that love into your home need look no further than Hawai'i: A Sense of Place. It's a useful jewel of a book no matter where you live.
Hawaii a Sense of Place: Island Interior Design -
This is a slick coffee table type book with lots of great pictures. And, as a coffee table book it works really well. It shows many really nice homes, rooms and grounds in Hawaii. In general, though, it's not as much a survey of Island Interior design as it is a showcase for the work of Designer Mary Philpotts McGrath and the artists and artisans she has worked with. All of these homes appear to be owned by the very rich, who have the means to have a professional designer work with them and near unlimited budget. That said, my wife and I were able to get a lot of design ideas from the details of the scenes presented and were able to get a sense for this designer's vision of Hawaiian decorating.

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.
