Creating a Naturally Sustainable Pool and Landscaping
We all love Hawaii’s natural beauty. And, we all want to keep it beautiful. We now know that when we landscape our homes, we have to think about which plants belong in our environment, and need the least amount of water and care. Today’s concepts are about being more efficient and eco-friendly and can even include the luxury of a swimming pool. For example, a natural pool system can be created that combines ecology and economy by separating the swimming area and a regeneration zone with a wall. Within the regeneration zone, the pool’s impurities and excess nutrients are decomposed by plants and microorganisms. This plant filter-system ensures clear water while keeping algae growth to a minimum. Even though this concept still includes pumps and filters, et al., the final look is serene and in sync with nature. Your own garden landscape created with indigenous plants keeps your pool sparkling and as clear as Hawaii’s blue skies. The lanai or decks that are used in this design are modular, made out of wood or natural stone continuing the natural look in your backyard.
If you do not want a pool then create a small fishpond or an aquaponic center. This efficient eco-friendly design will increase the value of your home since being GREEN is what it is all about in today’s market.

Full Furnished Homes
Why Buyers Buy Fully Furnished Properties
Usually buyers of fully-furnished homes are investors or they may want a second home to stay in if they are frequent travelers to the same destination.
“In my experience, buyers choose fully-furnished properties because everything, the exterior, the interior and the furnishings are unique to Hawaii. A fully-furnished home provides you, the buyer, with a turn-key property, allowing you to live in it immediately after closing. All that you need are your personal items. There is no-moving out hassle for the seller and no-moving in headache for the buyer.
I have found that a fully-furnished property usually has something special to offer. The home becomes the art. Perhaps the furniture was made especially for the house due to its size or shape; or it is indicative of our Islands and includes koa or mango furniture or other fine woods of Hawaii. Hawaii has a number of well-known woodcrafters who create furniture that is considered art. Each artist has their own style and mark. These furnishings and decorative landscaping, specific to our Islands, enhance the property; providing a spacious tropical feel; especially important for condo living.”
Call Audrey today. She has a talent for finding the unique fully-furnished home that is just right for you. Or, perhaps, you want to create a fully-furnished home that will sell. To make sure that the property is designed to sell, put Audrey Hutton’s experience to work for you.

HOW TO HAVE YOUR MOST DESIREABLE DREAM KITCHEN
I grew up surrounded by family members who love to cook. I love to cook and bake as well. So when it was time to look for a home to buy, the kitchen was very important to me. My first kitchen needed rehabbing but it was already spacious and open and had lots of counter space. The kitchen in my current home is very close to being my dream kitchen. It has two ovens, wine refrigerator, a pantry, a small desk and plenty of counter space. There is room for bar stools at the counter. I enjoy having family and friends over to visit and they always gather in my kitchen. The bar stools and the open plan – the kitchen opens right into the family room – makes it possible for my guests to sit and talk to me while I cook. With its good lighting, windows and glass doors that open to the backyard, the kitchen is bright and sunny.
If I had to find one thing that is missing and preventing this from being my perfect kitchen, I would have to say that I would really love to have warming drawers. If you are not familiar with warming drawers, do a Google search. You may be surprised at how this one item can make your life so much easier. For example, if you and your family have conflicting schedules and just don’t have the time to sit down to dinner together, the warming oven will keep dinner warm and ready to eat without overcooking. The warming drawers also come in handy if you do a lot of entertaining.
If you are ready for your dream kitchen but you need more space than your current home has, I can help. Or, if you want to spiff up your kitchen so you can sell your house and find a new home that already has your dream kitchen, I have lots of ideas to help you out.

Dream Rooms Can Come True
“Dream Rooms” can come true!
I love to cook, bake and entertain so my dream room is an open-style kitchen that flows freely into the
family and living rooms. Maybe your dream room is spacious with a huge HD-TV and surround-sound
for watching sporting events and movies. Or, perhaps you love outdoor living so you want an inside/
outside space to comfortably entertain.
You can have a dream room with limited space too. Larger TVs are so thin that you can hang them on
the wall. Small wine refrigerators fit on countertops. And toaster ovens have become convection ovens
for gourmet cooks.
No matter what your dream room is, it will make your house or condo into your home and will appeal to
the next buyer who will be looking for those special features as well.
Call Audrey J. Hutton today to help you make your dream room or dream home a reality.
