When we first entered the space, they had already painted and requested we stick with the paint color but everything else could go!

Our young family loved the idea of creating a warm and cozy environment with a modern turn. We knew this push-pull dynamic between the cozy and modern aesthetic was destined to create an interesting and tranquil design. We played with a variety of metals, textures, fabrics, and finishes to draft the ultimate style setting theater.

Just off the theater is a special spot where the kids can play their favorite games, enjoy reading a story, or color a pretty picture all while mom is sitting at her desk getting a little work done. Since this room sits right off the theater, we wanted to create a harmonious flow between the two spaces. We did this with the use of color. However, our large, organic patterns add a fresh and youthful impression to the play room.

I have to say the most rewarding part of my job is getting to know our clients. By the end of every project, it feels as if we were family! This project was no different. A few nights after we installed this beautiful theater, I received a text from my client saying, “We just watched our first movie–just me and my girls–and it was perfect!” Thank you to my client for letting us into your lovely home and into your beautiful life. Now start popping the popcorn!

Black and white stripes are a must! A classic. Go bold and use it as a wall treatment in your bathroom.

Need a punch of color in your neutral space? Put up some artwork that you love. This will help brighten up any space and make it feel fresh and summery.

Cobalt or navy with black and white stripes. A striking combo! And stay tuned… we have a navy sofa on its way to the store now!!!

While you are shopping for the little ones this summer keep this in mind. It could be your inspiration for your next room makeover.

The Aspen chairs are the newest addition to the Alice Lane showroom – rugged and manly but still sleek and modern with clean lines and a metal frame. We can’t help our obsession with these details! When placed in a room, don’t hide the backs of these chairs, the detail is too great! They would be perfect as the guest chairs in an office or floating in a living room.

Stop by and see them for yourself. They’re even better in person!
