these walls of white december 2013 these walls of white happy new year and the iolani palace part ii tuesday december 31 2013 so what is the iolani palace you ask it stands as the official residence of hawaii s monarchy that has been beautifully restored the national historic landmark sits in downtown honolulu and is a stark contrast to the surrounding high rises of bustling city life i really enjoyed visiting the house even if we couldn t go inside to tour it i was struck by how many residents of honolulu were lounging on the grass of the grounds enjoying the historic home and how it has a very cherished place to this day in city life built by king kalakaua in 1882 it was also home to his illustrious successor queen liliuokalani and stands as the only royal residence in the united states let s take a peek inside starting with the grand hall source source the throne room source source the blue room source the music room source source the dining room source king s library source bedroom source if you re interested in the restoration process of this house their curatorial department kept a blog in 2010 with some informative posts labels hawaii historic inspiration house museums house tour 3 comments share merry christmas and the iolani palace part i wednesday december 25 2013 recently we visited hawaii for a couple weeks there were so many beautiful places to explore some of the top top things on my radar were two hawaii house tours unfortunately parenthood comes with a learning curve oddly it never occurred to me that children would not be allowed inside the house i understand that this house is a part of hawaii s heritage so we respect their wishes however with that in mind i am only able to share a post with my original photos of the exterior but i don t think cameras are allowed inside anyway across the street the beautiful historic courthouse i m going to work on a second post with the interior photos from around the web guess we ll have to make another trip back when our daughter is older until next time mele kalikimaka labels architecture hawaii historic inspiration house museums house tour 2 comments share a japanese house part ii sunday december 22 2013 i ve been on the road tot in tow so this is much later than anticipated per usual i don t kid myself that you are waiting with bated breath for a new post but i have a few more house tours i ve scheduled for the next couple weeks the result of our travels back to the japanese house let s tour the interior first some beautiful details the foyer front hall and looking back at the door the thing i love most about the japanese houses i ve seen in this area is the attention to detail in the geometric shapes from the wall panels some woven some plain to the vertical slats to the shadows of the door they all convey a delineation of space but also add a beautiful play in texture and light the kitchen immediately to the left of the entry is very western and utilitarian in style the one remarkable thing is the secret storage as i have called it intended for japanese pickles and food goods our friend who has no need for significant food storage uses it for wine the front living room is also very western in style so i ll gloss over it only to show those lovely sliding doors that can open to create an indoor outdoor space i ve also noticed in observing local architecture the use of small space while this is a very compact lot the indoor outdoor nature of it makes it feel much larger and offers a sense of private peacefulness the next room a tatami room is one of my favorites it is a tatami living room and has beautiful light i shot all these photos without artificial light so you can see the beauty in the design i love the tatami binding i recently watched a documentary on traditional shinesses businesses and learned that bindings of various tatamis signify different uses ranks etc but at the very least this is something to admire the transition of sliding doors leading to another tatami room this way you can get a sense of floor plan the tatami bedroom has plenty of storage for holding bed linens during the day i brought my daughter and this by far was her favorite room the explore japanese houses are wonderfully child friendly with their very nature of having everything tucked away if only we weren t in a western style house ourselves but anyways here s the bedroom and lastly i have to share how much my daughter loves our friends house her favorite thing to do is open and close the sliding rice paper doors and peek around the corners labels architecture house tour japan 2 comments share newer posts older posts search social media blog archive 2017 6 august 2 july 4 2015 22 october 1 may 1 april 8 march 7 february 2 january
