Another concept designed by Sean, the
delightful range hood is crafted in mango
by master tiki carver Don Craig, via Roy
Lambrecht Woodworking. His carved
images feature a monolithic volcano with
Maui in the distance. Don also carved the
enormous custom tikis in the great room
that stand sentry atop custom koa and
wenge shelving built by Lambrecht. The
wavy patterns in the wenge allude to lava
flows descending from basalt tiles above.
Continuing the tiki theme, Sean sketched
out a design for the front entry doors
etched in glass by Cynthia Davis, of
Cynthia’s Little Grass Shack in Kailua-
Kona. The finished etchings include
images of the homeowner’s resident cats.
From furnishings and artwork to vendors
and contractors, local talent is at the
forefront of Kevin and Sean’s amazing
abode. Greg Putman Construction
handled all the architectural renovations
including the expansion of the lanai to
make room for a dining area, as well as
the bathrooms and laundry renovations.
Roy Lambrecht Woodworking was
involved in all three phases of the
remodel, creating beautiful koa bathroom
vanities, along with custom components
made of sapele wood in the walk-in closet
and laundry room.
Other Kona vendors include Aloha Light
& Design, Hakoda’s Builders Appliances,
Tile Warehouse, All-Natural Stone, and
Plantation Living & Interiors, Kona Art
Gallery, and Dovetail Gallery. Much of
the artwork came from local galleries.
“Local talent informed our decisions,”
said Kevin. “This isn’t just a remodel, it’s
the dynamics of what Kona’s craftspeople
have to offer. The joy was finding such a
rich repository of skilled tradesmen and
artisans right here in Kona. They all made
for a great team.”
