Windy Blue Grand Opening
A CELEBRATION... YEARS IN THE MAKING
"It is such an honor to be a part of Netti & Ken DeWalt's vision to bring peace and Aloha to homes throughout Maui!"
What a true joy indeed...
We couldn't be more thrilled to partner with Netti & Ken DeWalt in their endeavor into opening a brand new interior design art gallery showcase,Windy Blue, in central Kihei this week.
Over 100 people came through the doors on opening night! After months of planning and prepping, the vision finally became a reality for us all.
The best part of the night was seeing all of the people who have been a part of the dream that is Windy Blue come together to celebrate. It has been quite a ride, and it's hard to believe that it's only been a couple years since Netti came up with the idea for this incredible gallery. Hard work, dedication and inspiration lead to what has now become reality. It's definitely been worth it to see it open its doors with great fanfare in Maui on November 1, 2022.
The 'Ohana
When we work and pray together... it's incredible what's possible! I truly believe this is only the beginning of what's in store. It's taken a lot of hard work to get to this point. It'll all be worth it!

He is quick to see the details but also enjoys the freedom to take risks and be spontaneous every day.

Overwhelming Joy!
Just the beginning...
There's no doubt that opening a new business isn't the easy road to take. There are always sacrifices and surprises in store. But it's impossible to deny that it's worth it in the end, and we couldn't be more proud of what Netti has brought together here. Windy Blue is finally ready to show the world what we can do. And we, for one, are ecstatic to see what the future holds for her and her unique vision. The opening was just the latest chapter in a journey that began with a dream. While some in the industry might think it's crazy to open up a retail store on an island that most mainlanders have never heard of, Netti and her team believe Maui is No ka 'oi, the best.
