Interior designer Ginger Lunt turned a 1954 residence that she’d fallen in love with as a young girl growing up in the tropical forests of Mount Tantalus, high above urban Honolulu, into her own home and studio. "When I am surrounded by too much clutter and busyness, it affects my state of mind, especially when I sit down to work and design," says Ginger. With this in mind, she designed the interior to be warm but minimal, juxtaposing a "relaxed, Hawaiian home style" with midcentury details. A painting by Ginger’s grandmother hangs above a midcentury dining set Ginger found on Craigslist.
