We feel like most people love Fall time the most out of the 4 seasons because it’s just the perfect place for temperature, for gathering, it gets a little darker, the nights are more crisp, you can sleep with your window cracked, and it’s just a very romantic time. The smells, the sounds, the sights, everything just feels richer, and even the fashion with all the layers you can pull on, people can really dress in the Fall. In this episode we talk about our favorite Fall updates. We each have our things we do for our homes and also for ourselves to signal the change of the seasons, so we hope you can tune in and gain some great insights into what you could do for your own home.

“OK, so this is from a company called Trudon and I think it was originally in 1653 and the candles are made from the beeswax of these ancient monasteries in France,” “And the glass is made from old wine bottles, so it’s a dark, dark green and it’s just so sophisticated.” “I think it’s the only thing the royal family burned within the castle walls, so it’s just beautiful and they have so many scents, but this is the Abd El Kader.” 9:54

Today the Dear Alice trio talks about how to play up your strengths. Everyone has the things that they dislike about their homes, the things they could change, etc., but Dear Alice wants to flip that on its head and talk about the things that we all love, how to play to those strengths in our homes, and how as individuals can break those metaphorical walls down and really get to the base desires of what people want.
Intro 0:00
Our super powers 2:00
Sue’s favorite part about her house 6:30
Cori’s strengths 11:00
Jess’s favorite parts of her house 14:00

The entryway 26:20
Sue’s home and space planning 34:40
Cori’s powder bath 36:40
Jess’s primary bath 43:45
“It’s worth getting right because it’s an entry and it’s how people are going to experience coming to your home, or coming to a party and knocking on that door, and smelling honeysuckle, being in this cool little tunnel with a gate and this bright little door, or whatever your plans are for that. I just think it’s such a cool opportunity to take something that’s OK now but make it a strength.” 20:19

Today the gang is talking about those upgrades for a builder basic home. If you’re getting ready to build a home, you’re going to go with a big builder and he has a little center where you can pick out your paint, countertops and tile, and you only have a few selections. It’s like your build-a-bear. They get into how as designers they would “build the bear” or how they have in the past and how to work the system.

You keep that, you pocket that, you put it into something else in the home, and then you just spend your own $10K wisely, and then you can add to that as you want to put more lights in the home.” 26:57

What to do with this great big wall. We get this question a lot where someone has a big wall and doesn't know what to do with it. In this episode the Alice Lane Trio talks about the built-ins, the big stairwell wall, the window wall, and the 5 different spaces in the home that we most commonly get asked this question for on how to address that big wall, what we do with it, and how we help direct our clients in what to collect, if they should do built-ins at all, or if they’re not a good candidate for some of these things.
Favorite thing to collect during travels 1:05
Built-ins 12:25
The wall of windows 23:20
The 2 story fireplace 30:30
The wall behind the TV 37:45
The stairwell 41:05
“We buy a lot of beautiful, one of a kind antique rugs for the store and we have them framed. So be it in a real frame, or we have also have them raw hanging on the wall, and both are just so beautiful. It just gives this importance and craft to this beautiful art. These are hand done and some of them are hundreds and hundreds of years old, so it’s a nice way to mix up the medium on your wall and add a lot of interest and scale to these massive walls.” 45:54

Today we are going to be talking about the most commonly asked questions from our listeners of Dear Alice. We have 4 questions that people keep asking, so we figured it would be easiest to just package it all into one episode and you can get all 4 of the answers here. Join us today to find out what those questions are and what we have to say!
What we get asked the most in our personal lives 1:25
How to not go out of style 10:30
The most durable design choices that will last forever 18:40
How to help stretch a room 30:00
How to avoid being matchy matchy 33:00
“You’re not gonna fall for the trends, and I know there’s so much talk around trends because of TikTok, and now there’s micro trends and everybody’s exposed to so much now, but you can avoid the trends and stay tru to your personal style when you’re making these decisions when you look back in time.” 16:13

Today the trio talks about the hardest working space in the home, which is the command center. Not everyone has one, but it is a desire of all of our female clients. Often it’s a stay-at-home mom, or even the working mom at times, who needs a room where she can keep all her kids’ birthday invites, amazon boxes, school schedules, gifts, candles, shipping items, etc., and they dive into this exact subject today.
Intro 0:00
We all need a command center 7:00
A great place for a lot of closed storage 11:45
The new build 13:45
Some fun examples 23:10
“In the new build, I would say that you’re gonna need a lot of closed storage. You can never have enough. You’ll want hidden storage to hide your tape, your gifts, your wrapping. The gifts because your kids are gonna come and try to find them, and it’s their birthday. You don’t wanna have to just be shopping the night before, right? Holiday gifts, all sorts of things, so I think hidden storage is really nice.” 13:48

This week we are doing kind of a part 2 on Sue’s emergency remodel and we thought it would be fun to talk about some of the best ways to update an older home. We have remodeled a lot of homes for people and we feel like there is a lot of magic in the walls. It’s really fun to think of the story and the history, and to think about what to highlight and pull away from, and then see what they’re reacting to. It feels like a chemistry experiment, psychologically. When you buy a remodel, you’re buying inherited architecture, which some of it is good, but some of it is not so good, and so it’s really just trying to understand this whole process of putting your own stamp on it and what that will look like to make it feel more you.
How to get started 4:30
Paint 8:00
Lighting 13:00
Overgrout, German Schmear 18:20
Railing 22:30
Work with us 30:30
“I’m thinking of more of a mid century, 1950s, 60s, 70s home stacked rock, I don’t know if that works. If it’s a home that’s trying to feel European or something like that, then I think the overgrout works on the exterior, but if it’s mid century, it’s probably not gonna translate the same.” 12:53

Today is the day that we walk you through Suzanne Hall’s hardcore emergency remodel. She had a nice spread for us this episode of CAD drawings, sketches, before pictures, budgets, and after pictures. Sue shares from start to finish the emergency remodel and you will know what it cost her in the end, what she got for her money, and how she got there. If you’re living in a home that you’ve wanted to maybe tweak or update, and you never got around to it, look at those with brand new eyes today as if you’re walking through a brand new house that’s not yours because we are going to go back in time and do that with Sue’s house.

“When you do have a small space guys, you can do big things. You can do a big design in a small space because it’s not as many square feet that you have to pay for. I used the same marble in my primary bath as I did in the boy’s bath.” 32:35

We are talking about French design this week in honor of the French olympics that are starting. We feel like all eyes are on France right now and we couldn’t help but get in the spirit of things by talking about French design. When it comes to French fashion, we all wanna be effortless like the French girl, so that’s what we wanted to talk about in this episode is how to translate that into interiors. Every client wants to feel some French in their space, so we’re breaking down 5 different things you can do to bring it into your home.

“There’s traditional, and then there’s modern, and then there’s a mix, which I think our favorite spaces have a mix. It’s the traditional with the modern layered on top of it and I think that’s what most people react to, is that tension.” 9:05

This week we have a really fun guest on the show. She is someone that is known for mixing vintage with contemporary and her name is Ariel Okin and we talk with her about how she balances the old with the new. She is the founder of Ariel Okin Interiors, a full service design firm based in New York City. Her work has been featured in Arch Digest, Elle Decor, House Beautiful, Domino, and Vogue, and she is the Editor and Chief of Fenimore Lane, an E-commerce and editorial website. Ariel hosts an amazing podcast called Talk Shop with Ariel Okin where she talks with some of the greats in our industry about design philosophies. Her style is feminine and traditional, grounded in historical elements while carrying a freshness that’s inviting and comfortable.

The mud hall 30:50
Her podcast 33:00
“You have to shop around with vintage and antique. You have to physically go in and see it. You have to go into the shops. I think one of the most valuable pieces of advice that I’ve learned from chatting on our podcast too is you have to go out and shop in person. You have to touch the things, the fabrics, you have to sit on the sofas, feel the upholstery. Physically doing it is really important, especially and particularly with vintage.” 14:20

This week we are going to talk about the elements of a well designed patio. We wanna really help you and set the stage for what your exterior experience will look like, so that you can throw a party and it feels authentic to you. We’re gonna show you some of the base rules that we tend to, to figure out what your style is outside, rules that help you know what to do and how to buy, and then why it works and creates this backdrop. This topic came to us after we were asked live by someone “OK, on outdoor spaces, do you buy the whole set, or do you kind of do it like the interior and mix and match?” So we thought it would be great to dedicate a whole episode to this topic and help you plan out your patio.
Intro 0:00
Favorite seasons 0:30
Iron or wicker anchor pieces 11:00
Light vs dark wicker 18:30
Color of cushions 19:45
Jute rug 23:40
Pots and garden stools 26:45
The umbrella 32:00
“I feel like the longer I do design, the more I’m starting to really love the editor’s eye of restraint. Pulling back. Not being such a decorator that I’m trying to really mix and max to come up with some special formula that’s so tricky. I feel like the landscape is the hero in so many of the projects that we get to work on.” 11:54

It’s something we teach and preach. Something we’re known for, and take pride in! Scale is a signature feature of the Alice Lane look, and yet…sometimes small and mighty wins the game. Today on Dear Alice, we call out five times when a little move makes big waves. Join Jess, Suzanne and Cori as they flip through the Alice Lane portfolio to explain when & why to play it small…for a really smart, well-designed look.

“The thing I loved about this home is he would, in a quiet little corner in the entry, he would gold leaf a little mushroom on the wall, and you were just like ‘Oh my gosh, it’s so happy!’ and it just winks at you when you walk into the space, and these were kind of found throughout the space that were a treat for the client that just, again, that surprise and delight.” 25:30
