Dear Alice | Interior Design

Today we’re talking about product development and Jess and Cori are basically the heads of this movement. Cori helps get the stuff produced and Jess is the visionary behind the products. We’ve seen a lot of things go from the beginning stages of just concept, to full development and some of them have really stuck and the reaction that many of our clients, listeners, and supporters have had are very positive. We get into the Lucca Family and the influence they’ve had on what we do and our products. We put Lucca on our website in our website’s infancy, and this thing really started selling, which pushed us to get a new warehouse and changed the whole way we did shipping in order to keep up with the demand.

“I read a long time ago an interior designer said ‘You gotta keep your head down, and you just crush it in your own lane, and you do what you do, and you don’t try to do what the other guy is doing.’ and so we just do that. I don’t follow other people in our own space, in our own state because I don’t want to have to be influenced by it. I wanna make sure we stay original to us.” 13:15

Today we are taking you into our 2nd half of styling principles and we’ll be going through 5-10. We are talking about styling this elusive white tiger in the sky that is so hard to pin down for so many people and it’s hard to know what the rules are, how to do it, or how to make sure it looks good. The eye often just tells us if it’s good and when to stop. It’s a feeling, kind of inside your stomach and your head. We wanted to break it down so that you guys just have the very best idea of how the pros do it.

“Trays are a really, really great way to corral a lot of styling and to ground it. It kind of acts like an area rug in the room, and it’s another really great way to kind of put things together. I think kitchen islands can even have a beautiful wicker tray, your cocktail table is a really great place for trays, nightstands, every surface. We love a tray.” 25:22

We always say that the last layer is everything and we do everything from plan conception all the way down to the last bit of styling, and even though it’s all important and critical to a beautiful space, this is the cherry on top, or the soul of the house. This is one of those things that people either have or don’t and it’s really hard to just own your own styling, so you go find inspiration. We get a lot of questions on styling in general, just on how you do it and how one styles because it’s something they teach you in school at all. This is often what separates the good from the great where the good designer might design well, but not style so well, but the great stylists will design and style well.

“When we’re trying to put things together that are gonna go on a shelf, if those things look great together, even on the floor, or when we’re pulling things from the show room, we’ll usually load everything onto this console in the design center conference room, if they look great together, they’re gonna look great together on a shelf. No matter where you put them, they're gonna look great in a room.” 14:57

Today we want to talk about how we like to make our homes feel cozy during these winter months and our favorite layers we like to use to make our homes feel warm and inviting. There are so many warm and welcoming colors to add to your porch, such as pumpkins and velvety plants to match the season. This is the time of year you’re going to get a lot of guests and visitors, so filling up your porch with fun decorations and accessories is a great way to give your home that welcoming, warm touch. We recommend keeping some snips nearby and your eyes open during this season in case you spot some nice yew, or other similar plants to take from nature and enhance not just the visuals in your home, but the smells as well.

“So that entry hall table, I always have some large books as well. Books that can be seasonal, like some entertaining books. I’ve got one on entertaining and the cover is like a silk, and it’s got this beautiful scene on it, and those warm earth tones look so good, especially at this time of year.” 13:11

“I like the light, and we’ve done dark too, on the brick up in Seattle and it was really, really cool.” “Black actually.” “I think it also depends on your neighborhood, it depends on your demographic. Look around and see what blends, but if everybody’s a brown house, you don’t have to paint it brown. Go ahead and do an organic lighter shade.” 8:10

“You’re gonna spend a lot of money, first of all, on draperies or window coverings because those windows are two stories tall.” “You’re not gonna short sheet them and just do the bottom layer, you’re gonna go all the way to the top and you’re gonna drape the whole thing.” “Also that means you’re going to get the biggest chandelier you’re going to get and you’re going to get an extended amount of chain rod because you gotta get that down into the first story. It’s not OK to get a light fixture and hang it clear up there on the 2nd story, which we see a lot.” 8:10
