213 FEET OF PRIME BEACHFRONT PROPERTY ON HANALEI BAY. *The Faye property at Hanalei was purchased by Hans Peter Faye in 1915. Faye was a prominent Kauai sugar plantation manager and a member of the elite society of the day. He and a few others were privileged with the opportunity to purchase prime Hanalei beachfront lots at auction. The intention was to build summer beach houses on the best section of the Bay. *In 1915, H.P. Faye cleverly combined two of the original Hanalei Beach Lots, resulting in twice the land area and beach frontage of current comparables. Skillfully selected by Hans Peter Faye in 1915 at a time when Hanalei Bay was wide open. The location offers shelter, consistent offshore trade winds, sandbars, and amazing views. H.P. Faye had the vision and the finances to purchase not one but two lots in the best part of the Bay. The property has views both mauka and makai, and is perfect for swimming, parties and the beach lifestlye. *Building on the property may be permitted for up to 9,000 sf, allowing for additional structures, pool, & larger buildings(compared to average 4,500 sf on other Hanalei beachfront lots). *Today, almost all of the lots on Hanalei Bay have been subdivided and many of the original large estates are gone. Gone are the days of expansive,open spaces at Hanalei. The Faye property is one of a few parcels that retain the large, open feel and the ONLY ONE THAT IS AVAILABLE FOR SALE.

A lower level bar and entertaining area was added, by repurposing the old kitchen cabinets, adding some 100 year old barn wood, installing a custom poured epoxy counterop and decorative accents, the entertaining area was the favorite room in the new renovation - adding a ton of living/entertaining space to this home! {Featured Story} Spring, 2015 – This condo was purchased from the estate of the new owner’s parents and refurbished with trendy new touches. There were no close comparables in the Farmington neighborhood with within walking distance to the urban downtown area, so the approach for selling was to create an entirely new set of comparables when the new owner was found. On the market for just days, the renovation, marketing and finishing touches made this a highly sought after, and quick to sell property at top dollar, establishing a new trend in the neighborhood. {Our Process for this Featured Property}: Assessed the initial investment condo, offered suggestions for rehab and renovation. Assisted with Color Theory through color selection and process (no beige in this condo!). Helped select floor and counter materials, tile selection and features in the kitchen and bath. Final staging of the property was done with antiques and housewares, and created a cozy and lived in feel. As a final touch, a party was thrown when the property was completed to invite in friends and family, as well as an open house with freshly baking chocolate chip cookies to make the prospective buyers feel right at home! {Outcome} This property sold in days as a cash sale, at a higher price than anything in the neighborhood – and closed quickly. Both the seller and buyer were thrilled with this transaction!

In today’s world of smart interiors and luxury-inspired home décor, LED Mirror backlit designs have become a defining trend. From elegant bathrooms to sophisticated dressing areas and premium commercial spaces, LED Mirrors are now more than just reflective surfaces—they are statement pieces that combine technology, style, and functionality. Whether you are renovating your home, upgrading a salon, designing a hotel, or creating a modern workspace, investing in a high-quality LED mirror can instantly elevate the atmosphere. The perfect balance of illumination and aesthetics makes these mirrors one of the most sought-after interior additions in contemporary architecture. This blog explores everything you need to know about LED Mirror backlit solutions, their benefits, applications, features, and why they are becoming essential in modern living spaces. What Is an LED Mirror Backlit Design? An LED Mirror backlit system refers to a mirror equipped with LED lighting installed behind the mirror surface. Instead of visible front-facing bulbs, the light gently radiates from the rear edges, producing a soft halo effect around the mirror. This indirect illumination creates a luxurious and ambient glow while providing practical lighting for everyday tasks such as grooming, makeup application, shaving, and skincare routines. Unlike traditional mirrors, LED Mirrors offer:

• Energy-efficient illumination
• Elegant visual appeal
• Better light distribution
• Enhanced functionality
• Modern smart features

The growing popularity of minimalist and contemporary interior styles has significantly increased the demand for these innovative mirror solutions. Why LED Mirrors Are Becoming So Popular The rise of modern interior design trends has changed how homeowners and designers view lighting and décor. Today, functionality alone is not enough—people want products that are stylish, efficient, and technologically advanced. This is exactly where LED Mirrors stand out. 1. Modern Aesthetic Appeal One of the biggest reasons people choose an LED Mirror backlit design is its sleek and luxurious appearance. The soft illumination creates a floating effect that adds depth and sophistication to any room. Whether installed in:

• Bathrooms
• Bedrooms
• Dressing rooms
• Salons
• Hotels
• Restaurants
• Retail stores

LED mirrors instantly make the environment look more premium and visually appealing. 2. Superior Lighting Quality Traditional overhead lights often create shadows on the face, making grooming tasks difficult. In contrast, LED Mirrors provide even and balanced illumination. The backlit glow:

• Reduces harsh shadows
• Improves visibility
• Enhances facial clarity
• Creates a comfortable lighting experience

This makes them ideal for makeup artists, skincare professionals, and anyone who values precision grooming. 3. Energy Efficiency LED technology is known for its low power consumption. Compared to conventional lighting systems, LED lights use significantly less electricity while delivering brighter and more consistent illumination. An LED Mirror backlit setup can help:

• Reduce energy bills
• Lower electricity usage
• Support eco-friendly living
• Increase long-term savings

Additionally, LED lights have a much longer lifespan than traditional bulbs, reducing maintenance costs. Key Features of Modern LED Mirrors Today’s LED Mirrors come with advanced features that improve convenience and user experience. Touch Sensor Controls Most modern LED mirrors include touch-sensitive buttons that allow users to:

• Turn lights on/off
• Adjust brightness
• Change color temperature

This creates a seamless and futuristic experience. Adjustable Brightness Different tasks require different lighting conditions. Many LED Mirror backlit models allow users to customize brightness levels according to their needs. For example:

• Bright white light for makeup application
• Warm soft light for relaxation
• Neutral lighting for everyday grooming

Anti-Fog Technology Foggy mirrors are a common issue in bathrooms. Advanced LED Mirrors often include built-in demister pads that keep the mirror clear even after hot showers. This feature improves convenience and eliminates the need to manually wipe the mirror. Smart Connectivity Some premium LED mirrors now integrate with smart home systems and include:

• Bluetooth speakers
• Digital clocks
• Temperature displays
• Voice control
• Motion sensors

These features transform ordinary mirrors into intelligent lifestyle products. Applications of LED Mirror Backlit Solutions One of the reasons LED Mirrors are so versatile is their ability to fit into various spaces and design themes. Bathroom Interiors Bathrooms are the most common place for LED Mirror backlit installations. The ambient glow creates a spa-like atmosphere while improving daily grooming routines. Benefits include:

• Better lighting for shaving and makeup
• Enhanced bathroom aesthetics
• Increased property value
• Luxurious visual appeal

Modern hotels and luxury homes frequently use LED mirrors to create elegant bathroom experiences. Bedroom and Dressing Areas LED mirrors are increasingly popular in dressing rooms and vanity setups. The balanced lighting helps users prepare more effectively while adding glamour to the space. Fashion enthusiasts and beauty professionals especially appreciate the clarity provided by high-quality LED illumination. Commercial Spaces Businesses such as:

• Salons
• Spas
• Hotels
• Restaurants
• Retail stores

use LED Mirrors to create premium customer experiences. A stylish mirror with backlit illumination can significantly improve the ambiance of commercial interiors and leave a lasting impression on clients. Fitness Studios and Gyms Modern fitness studios are now incorporating LED Mirror backlit designs to create dynamic and visually engaging workout environments. The combination of lighting and reflection enhances motivation while improving overall studio aesthetics. Choosing the Right LED Mirror With so many options available, selecting the right LED Mirrors requires careful consideration. Consider the Size The mirror size should complement the dimensions of the room and vanity area. For smaller bathrooms:

• Compact rectangular mirrors work best

For larger spaces:

• Oversized backlit mirrors create a dramatic statement

Shape Matters LED mirrors are available in multiple shapes, including:

• Rectangular
• Oval
• Round
• Square
• Custom geometric designs

Round mirrors often create softer aesthetics, while rectangular designs provide a more modern and minimalist appearance. Color Temperature Selection Lighting tone affects the mood and functionality of a room. Common options include:

• Warm White (cozy ambiance)
• Cool White (bright and crisp)
• Natural White (balanced daylight effect)

Choosing the right temperature depends on the intended use and interior style. Frame vs Frameless Designs Frameless LED Mirror backlit designs are popular for contemporary interiors because of their clean and minimalistic appearance. Framed mirrors, on the other hand, can add decorative character and complement traditional décor themes. Benefits of Installing LED Mirrors in Homes The demand for LED Mirrors continues to grow because they provide both practical and aesthetic advantages. Enhanced Interior Value Modern buyers and homeowners appreciate premium features. Installing LED mirrors can:

• Improve visual appeal
• Increase perceived luxury
• Enhance property value

This makes them a worthwhile investment for renovations and property upgrades. Improved Daily Routine From brushing teeth to skincare routines, lighting quality impacts everyday experiences. LED mirrors improve visibility and comfort, making daily tasks easier and more enjoyable. Space Enhancement The glow produced by an LED Mirror backlit design creates the illusion of larger and brighter spaces. This is particularly beneficial for:

• Small bathrooms
• Compact apartments
• Narrow dressing areas

The added light reflection opens up the room visually. LED Mirrors and Sustainable Living Sustainability is becoming increasingly important in modern design choices. LED mirrors support eco-conscious lifestyles in several ways. Lower Energy Consumption LED technology consumes far less energy compared to incandescent lighting systems. Longer Lifespan LED lights typically last thousands of hours longer than traditional bulbs, reducing waste and replacement frequency. Reduced Heat Emission Unlike older lighting systems, LEDs produce minimal heat, making them safer and more energy efficient. As more homeowners prioritize green living, LED Mirrors are becoming an environmentally responsible design solution.

Paul Despenas: Since 1995 Midwest Construction has been offering insulated vinyl siding, because we believed in the product in many ways. Vinyl siding has come a long way since I (Paul Despenas – VP Marketing) installed the companies 1st job in 1982. The product was Alside D-5 Endura Supreme. I drove by the job 6 years later and it was still on the house, wall lines looked good, but the color had faded from nice Beige to a dirty white. Manufacturers stepped up to the plate and added the right blends of vinyl resins, the addition of color stabilizers, thicker and better material, and the best improvement to vinyl siding was to add laminated foam behind it for strength and energy savings. Well here is some documented proof to what we have been saying for years, Your new American Classic Insulated Siding will save energy and maintenance over fiber cement siding. NYSERDA HOME VINYL SIDING INSTITUTE STUDY NYSERDA Home- In a new study, Insulated Vinyl Siding (Fullback® siding insulation laminated to vinyl siding) proved to outperform fiber cement in multiple categories. The Vinyl Siding Institute (VSI) recently commissioned a study to evaluate the environmental performance of Fullback® Insulated Siding. The Vinyl Siding Institute study was conducted by Newport Ventures, a research and consulting firm with expertise in the housing industry. Two high-performance homes were built to comply with the rigorous goals of the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority's (NYSERDA) High Performance Residential Development Challenge, one in Saratoga Springs, NY and one in Burnt Hills, NY. The challenge was conceived to educate home builders on construction of cost-effective, high performance homes designed to achieve 50-60% energy savings above that of typical homes built to New York's stringent energy code. In achieving this goal, both builders involved in the challenge showed preferences for systems that offered both energy savings and affordability. Fullback® Insulated Siding was specified by both builders as a system to help them achieve energy conservation and LEED for Homes. Fullback V Siding Comparison BURNT HILLS, NY: Researchers performed a side-by-side field test on the Burnt Hills home to compare Fullback® Insulated Siding against uninsulated fiber cement. This Vinyl Siding Institute study was conducted during the winter on a two story colonial built by Stewart Construction. The thermal imaging clearly indicated that there was less heat loss from the home to the outdoors with the Fullback® Insulated Siding compared to the fiber cement. The exterior surface temperature of the Fullback® Insulated Siding section of the wall was considerably colder, indicating that there was more thermal bridging (heat loss) with the fiber cement product. SARATOGA SPRINGS, NY: In the case of the Saratoga Springs home, the LEED case study found that environmental performance and visual appeal can go hand-in-hand through the use of Fullback® Insulated Siding. This home became the first home in New York's capital region to achieve LEED for Homes' Gold Rating. Sixty eight percent of visitors to the home found the siding to be "very attractive" while 95% agreed that the visual appeal of the Fullback® Insulated Siding was "better than average". Overall, the study provides documentation that insulated vinyl siding can outperform exterior cladding alternatives on environmental issues while at the same time remaining aesthetically pleasing.

Design: Jens Juul Eilersen Quick ship : FABRIC: PLINDY 0016 Compare Tub to a cloud of down or a foamy mug of beer. Jens Juul Eilersen has created a gigantic "sofa bathtub", which is an orgy of soft foam, down and pillows. Tub is the coolest and softest sofa yet in the Eilersen universe of floaters. And the contrast between the slim, tight outer shell and the interior heaven of foam and down creates dynamism in the language of form. Like sitting on a soft bed. "My goal was to create a well-being sofa where you can sit as if on a soft bed. And I succeeded! I actually fell asleep the first time I leaned back into the prototype, which was the deepest version," tells Jens Juul Eilersen. "When I woke up, I could certainly see that I had to develop a variation of the model in which people could stay awake". This resulted in a further 2 different depths where you sit more upright but still comfortably. Compared to Eilersen's other floater, Tub differentiates itself by the frame. Tub does not have a heavy frame, which is part of the comfort. But on the other hand a thin shell, which keeps the large, soft pillows in place. Externally, the lines are straight and tight and internally, the upholstery and pillows result in organic lines. "The entire sitting comfort in Tub lies in the foam, which seems softer due to the large depth. This provides a feeling of elevation and larger submersion than in any of our other sofas. It is actually just like sitting in a large mug of foaming beer or on a cloud of down" says Jens Juul Eilersen who promises that even though Tub is soft, inviting and provoking, it cannot become flat. Tub is available in three depths and the series contains corner, end and centre sections, which can be combined as desired.
