It is time for some show and tell! At Alice Lane we are widely known for our design and aesthetics in homes, but we love working on commercial spaces as well. There is nothing better than creating a functional and beautiful environment for people to work in.

We recently were asked to work on the offices of our good friends at Influence Real Estate. Influence Real Estate is based out of Salt Lake City, Utah and is a boutique firm founded by Rob Corcoran, who has raised the bar of the real estate industry. It is always a pleasure working with Rob. he has created an  amazing experience with his company. When he contacted us, he wanted to create a working environment that reflected the homes they were helping their clients locate.

Their office space is located in a beautiful and architecturally stimulating Modern Prairie style building in the area of Cottonwood heights. We wanted to stay true to the architecture as we selected the interior finishes and furnishings of the space.

The building has a great juxtaposition of contemporary open ceilings and warm modern wood tones. We started by re-painting the space a light neutral, making the offices feel open and larger.

We found an amazing new slab of granite for the front desk and gave it a large two inch edge, giving the front desk a more substantial presence in the space.

We added in pattern and texture with furniture and a rug.

We took inspiration from their logo and branding to etch their boardroom glass, incorporate leather-stiched wallpaper behind the front desk, and wrap their copy center in bright orange grasscloth.

We created the perfect balance of both Modern and Contemporary design.

I am such a seasonal girl; whether winter, spring, summer, or fall, I welcome all with open arms! As soon as the weather starts to change, I always get an itch to throw a party, so naturally, as the summer solstice approached, I sent all my home girls at Alice Lane a lil’ invitation to the FIRST ANNUAL ATTIC TWIST & TWIRL! Everyone chatted about what they’d wear, what we’d eat, and where on earth would I fit everyone in the itty bitty attic!

I had big ideas and a small deck where I wanted everything to take place. After the lights were strung and the tables set, my guests began to arrive. We ate the seasons best; Megan brought potato salad, Christy brought caprese bites, Natalie brought kouign amanns (go to Le Madeline in Salt lake and experience these for yourselves) and Jesi topped it all off with her grandma’s famous Strawberry Rhubarb pie! After dining on the deck, we retired to the garden where we played croquet till dark. It was silly and spontaneous – we even hula hooped!

Once the sun had set, it was time for us to make fairies in a jar! All you do is take an old mason jar, dump glow sticks and diamond glitter inside and shake. It was a riot and with just the right Pandora mix, our party got a little crazy! We danced on the rooftop with the lights and no matter what they say, the accidental lantern fire made everything more exciting!

The hour was late but I didn’t want it to end! We still had one more activity… a gift exchange. I believe that you shouldn’t leave a party empty handed and, as women, we love to give gifts almost as much as we love to receive them. Jess was a big fan of the butterfly net Andrea gave her… Megan was not as amused. Such fun!

It was pure  joy, gathering all of my favorite girls together for a midnight summer’s dream – and that’s exactly what it was, a dream. A twirl. A time to celebrate the season and each other. La chiam!

Cheers to summer!

Our friends, Mitchell Gold and Bob Williams, were featured in Lonny magazine’s most recent issue. 

Don’t forget about the MGBW Bedroom Casegoods Sale we have going on now!

Summer is almost here! Farmer’s markets, picnics in the park, family barbecues and vacations are what we have in store. Let those outfits inspire our summer room decor!

Brighter and bolder pastels are a favorite of mine right now. Very feminine and lovely.

Keep it neutral with tans and greys – a simple and classic look in fashion and interiors.

Bold colors and patterns makes this combination a hit!

Bright pops of coral and a lovely neon to go with. This look is energetic yet sophisticated.

This is the last week for the Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams Bedroom Casegoods Sale!

Beautiful installs, new jewelry and weekend fun!

See the rest of our week on Instagram @alicelanehomecollection or here.

Happy weekend!

Bon Appetite!

The heartbeat of any home is the kitchen.  This is where family and friends gather for delicious food, loads of laughter and great memories.  It’s not too often we get the opportunity to design a kitchen for a real chef, but that’s exactly where we’ve found ourselves on this most recent project!  Not only did we want to make this kitchen beautiful, it needed to be high functioning, efficient and well-organized.

We began our kitchen recipe with the backsplash – the most stunning cobalt blue herringbone!  Once we laid our eyes on this tile, we knew it was for our chef!  Because our backsplash is the main course, we wanted to keep the other finishes clean and simple.  We decided to make all lower cabinetry white oak and paint all upper cabinetry white, creating an easy and contemporary backdrop to our backsplash.

We fell in love with the idea of restaurant-style floating shelves for our chef.  We strategically placed the floating shelves near the Teppanyaki Grill (yes, that’s right – Teppanyaki Grill!) so our chef could easily plate hot food for his guests.

In order to create some mood lighting, we positioned sconces on the columns flanking the floating shelves. Imagine how stacks of white dishes will softly glow in this space! Lighting is key in a kitchen – it’s the garnish on top; without it, it just wouldn’t be as pretty!

We left no stone unturned in this kitchen, including designing the pantry!  In small spaces you are only in for moments at a time – go bold!  We covered our pantry floor in a cobalt blue, 3” hexagon tile.  We then plastered the walls with a graphic white and taupe wallpaper that resembles a contemporary woods scene – why not?!  Because our pantry is so flavorful, we couldn’t keep this jewel hidden, so we placed a sliding barn door outside the pantry.  You can’t help but smile when passing this pantry.

This is bound to be a kitchen where family and friends gather for delicious food, loads of laughter and great memories.  Bon Appetite!

We’ve been missing one of our favorite TV show’s, Million Dollar Decorators. We posted about it here. We have a bit of a designer crush on Ms. Mary McDonald. She has the attitude of “more is more” and we love her for that!

Since we haven’t had Million Dollar Decorators to grace us with it’s presence on Tuesday nights, we are oh so happy to have a few of Mary’s lamps in the store. We ordered these two markets ago and are so excited that they are finally here!
