Wow, another year gone by! Time flies when you are having fun! 2010 has been a great year for us here at Alice Lane and we owe it all to you! Here is a look at what has happened here at Alice Lane in 2010.

Salt Lake Magazine helped us kick off 2010 with a bang! They featured us as one of the best places to shop for gifts in Provo.

Utah Style and Design featured us in their Summer 2010 issue as a Pace Maker. They visited the store and took some great photos. They also featured us under the Editor’s Pick for our beloved slipcovered bed. How we loved that bed!

We were honored to be featured in Utah Valley’s Business Q 40 under 40!

Utah Style & Design magazine stopped by for a second visit for their Fall 2010 issue. We were lucky enough to be chosen for the cover of their Collector’s Edition: 10 Years of Inspired Design. Throughout the magazine they feature items from our store and use photos from our store for an article on hides.

Thank you to everyone who has allowed us to dream and helped us grow this past year. We look forward to what 2011 has to bring!

This glamorous directoire side table comes in a perfectly antiqued brass with a black granite top. Not to worry, if black doesn’t go in your space it also comes with a white marble top or in a nickel base with a mirrored top. We have the antiqued brass with the black granite top in the store now. It is 17″ diameter x 26.5″ high and is $576. Stop by and see it!

Perfect in any sophisticated space. In this month’s issue of Veranda, it can be seen in Jennifer Lopez’s home. We also carry the rectangular sized directoire table on the side of the sofa if this size fits your space better!

The holidays are a perfect time to express your inner creativity. Now that the tree is trimmed and the stockings hung, it’s time for the gifts! With the holiday decor looking perfect, why not accessorize with beautifully wrapped gifts?

Red, white and kraft. The natural look is an easy and lovely way to go. Use some gardening or bakers twine to tie up crisply wrapped packages adding a few berries or a bit of pine.

Colorful and girly. Mix, match, and layer patterned paper adding a few layers of a simple ribbon. Accessorize a few gifts with some colorful buttons or playful flowers.

Use a deep purple base and add some gold ribbon and sparkling berries for a bit of glamour. Add purple to your natural packaging with some pretty flowers. Tie them up with twine to give them that organic look.

Go completely neutral and simple with kraft and white. Add some lace to a simply wrapped package for that vintage feel.

Add some sparkle to blue and white gift wrapping with a bit of silver tinsel or use a few paper doilies to give your gifts some more texture.
