Salon Prive
Interior design trends come and go, but some stand the test of time, even outlasting various trends without losing appeal. If you’re tired of changing your interior design every couple of years, opting for a timeless look can save you time, effort, and money. A timeless interior design intentionally incorporates classic but aesthetically pleasing and functional interior decor elements in your home. Pulling off a timeless interior look shouldn’t be difficult. You can use the following trends to inspire your next major interior transformation.
History of Christmas in Hawaii
Christmas was not formally introduced to Hawaii until after 1820, the year Protestant missionaries came to Hawaii from New England. In ancient times, however, the holiday coincided with a triditional Hawaiian festival called Makahiki. This celebration lasted for four months and included feasts and games. During this time, wars and conflicts were strictly forbidden. As far as the early Hawaiians were concerned, the Makahiki was their time for "peace on earth and goodwill toward men."
The first Christmas celebration in Hawaii is believed to have occurred in 1786. Captain George Dixon of the merchant ship Queen Charlotte, docked in Waimea Bay on Kauai and commanded his crew to prepare a Christmas dinner that included roasted pig, pie and rum mixed with coconut milk. The English navigator then led his men in toasts to their families and friends back home.
In 1856, King Kamehameha IV declared December 25 to be his kingdom's national day of Thanksgiving. Two years later, Santa Claus made his first appearance in Hawaii, arriving at Washington Place (now the historic governer's residence) to deliver gifts for the children. King Kamehameha IV declared Christmas as an official holiday in 1862.

One Voice
Each day interior designers use their voices and visions to reshape spaces--and therefore the lives of those occupying them--for the better. With those same voices working in unison, they have the power to design a better future for themselves and the entire profession. That is why ASID began One Voice; to empower interior designers to get involved and advocate for or against the public policy that will ultimately influence their careers and lives.
