Holly's Pick - Cake Stands

You know that bridal shower you’re hosting in a few weeks? Remember how you promised your BFF you’d do it, but you haven’t given it 2 seconds of thought?  Don’t stress.  On your to-do list simply write “Go to Alice Lane”. We have the most unique and beautiful serving pieces for hosting a memorable soiree.

Most importantly you need some cake stands. We just so happen to have some of the most unique and beautiful cake stands and platters. They’re new for spring, so you’ll want to get in on this. They are just so good. And did you know you can use cake stands for more than just cakes. Don't let the name fool you, cake stands are perfect for serving cupcakes, muffins, or any bite size food.

Try using a cake stand for something other than food, too. Stacking cake stands and arranging lit candles, or some fresh flowers, would make for a beautiful centerpiece. Even the platter itself can be the showstopper of your party with these beauties!

Styling trays for every room in your home

Trayscaping. Have you heard of it? For those unfamiliar, it's our fancy way of saying styling a tray. Today we had the opportunity be a guest on KUTV's Fresh Living, and we talked all about styling trays. If you missed it, you can watch our segment on "How to Style a Tray" here.  Whether styling for your living room, office, powder room, or kitchen, trays are an excellent way to anchor all of your nick-knacks and accessories into one general area. Not only do they look sophisticated and organized, but they're incredibly functional too. When styling a tray, always keep function in mind. Simply look around your space and see what's already there. Incorporating practical, every day elements onto your tray is key.

Powder Room Tray - Find a small tray that fits nicely on your vanity top and doesn't take up too much space. Accessories with hand soaps, lotions, perfumes, and candles. As a bonus, it keeps your counter tops safe from any spills.

Office Trays - Offices can become very cluttered incredibly fast! Placing a tray on your desk can make all that clutter suddenly seem very organized. Finding decorative office supplies, like this gold pineapple letter opener, is not only very useful, but adds interest. Office supplies don't have to be boring, let them become your decorative elements.

Coffee Table Tray - Don't over think it when it comes to your coffee table. Place a box inside your tray where you can stash all of your remotes and other electronic eye-sores when they're not in use. Adding a pile of coasters is great, too. Your family and guests will appreciate having quick access to everything they would need, making entertaining a breeze.

Kitchen Tray - Instead of using your tray horizontally, flip it vertically and use it as a feature piece against your back splash or cabinets. Then, when you need it, you can quickly grab it and use it to serve drinks or appetizers on.

Hopefully these tip have inspired you try out some "trayscaping" for yourself!

How to Make Your Bed for Spring

With the warmer weather coming upon us, now is a great time to transition your bedding from the heavy throws of winter, to the lighter brighter linens of spring!  Here at Alice Lane, we have a few tips to make this transition easy for you.

Start by removing all of your heavier bedding like your duvet, chunky knit throws, and anything else you may have on your bed to keep you extra toasty during the winter.  We love using linen sheets (year around really) to keep you covered but cool in the spring/summer months.  They’re also beautiful and give you a luxurious yet comfortable and casual look for your spring bedroom.

Another easy way to lighten up your bedding is by folding your duvet on the end of your bed during the day, giving you the option to slide it right off the bed and sleep with a lighter quilt or coverlet, or to just quickly pull it over you should it suddenly get chilly at night.

If you’re feeling like a duvet is a little heavy for your liking, a beautiful neutral throw looks great on the end of any bed during the spring. Not only do they give your bedding a finished look during the day, but they are very useful as well. Try and choose one that is light weight and will be easy to pull over you in the middle of the night when temperatures fluctuate.

Hopefully you can incorporate some of these design tricks with your own bedding to make your transition into spring that much better!

Welcome spring!  It's time for refreshing and renewal, and we usually look to our interior spaces first to see what could use a little updating. In our last post we had some great tips on how to freshen up your living spaces for a crisp and clean look. One of the best ways to do that is to bring the outdoors in. Don't worry...you don't need to have a green thumb to add greenery to your space. Today, there are a plethora of faux greenery options that not only look amazingly real, but require little to no maintenance. And for those seeking the challenge of keeping a plant alive, we got you covered too! Plants can serve as the perfect subtle accessory to bring the whole design home, or they can be dramatic enough to be the focal art in a room. Don't those beautiful leaves just draw your attention!

Egg Planter w/plant - $456.00

Here at Alice Lane Home Collection, adding greenery to your space couldn't be easier! Just pick out your favorite container/pot and find a beautiful plant to put inside! Like this one here:

Round Fish Pot w/plant - $564.00

For those of you that consider yourselves to have less-than-green thumbs, a beautiful silk arrangement is a great option. No need to worry about care and watering, the perfect houseplant!

Cream Peony in Blue/White Jar - $328.00

Crisp & Clean...for Spring of course!

Despite the freshly fallen layer of snow us Utahans had been lucky enough to escape all winter...spring is just around the corner! I am trying my best to disregard the recent drop in temperatures and focus on the new season soon approaching. With spring, the first thing that comes to mind is getting out those cleaning gloves and feather-dusters for some in depth spring cleaning. Most of us think that this is the best way to freshen up our living spaces. However, some readjusting of your décor might also be in order!

A great way to re-energize a space is to simplify. My home tends to fill up with all sorts of odds and ends during the holiday season leaving me eager to clear out the junk. Get rid of all of those un-needed accessories and objects taking up valuable space. This will leave you with a space that clears your mind and makes you feel more organized.

Bring those light colors back! Whites and brights are soon to be in season once again. Freshen up your space by lifting the color palette to a more invigorating scheme. I love how energetic light colors can feel. There is something about sun streaming through the windows bouncing off one light wall to another that makes it easier to get up in the morning.

And of course, nothing screams spring like a few fresh flowers and doses of greenery. You can literally bring the new season indoors for an added sense of clean.

You can really set the stage of your room and home with the perfect rug. Did you know our designers always begin their projects by selecting a rug? A rug can act as an anchor for the room, and from there every piece in your room, whether it be upholstery, art, pillows or accessories, can take a cue from the rug. Perhaps your rug is a safe, pattern-less neutral, creating a calm flow from piece to piece in the room.

Perhaps you will choose a rug that sports a bold pattern, with some unexpected color that adds a little humor to the room, acting as an under-foot surprise each time you enter. No matter what you choose for your rug, you can take cues from the rug’s coloring and design to create a cohesive story in your room.

 

My favorite rug in the store creates a cohesive setting, where the pillows and upholstery really reflect the organic browns, grays, ivories and greens in the rug. The colors and pattern of the rug are natural and organic and the texture of the silk and wool is soft and luxurious. It reminds me, in a way, of a Monet's water lily paintings! Why not put the star art piece of your room on the floor?

A fun way to bring color into a space is with artwork. Art is the heartbeat of the room. It brings the room to life. Whether it is the scene or the color scheme that speaks to you, just choose something you love! A great trick is to use the colors in the artwork as accent colors in the room; this will make the space feel very cohesive. If you want to be a little less predictable, pull out the less obvious colors in the art - this will still make the room feel tied together without being too matchy.

Valentine's Day Gift Ideas

Valentine's Day is a holiday to show our love, if not for a significant other then for a friend or family member. My favorite gift idea to show my love and appreciation for another is to keep it simple, sentimental, and straight from the heart.

SIMPLE A bouquet of flowers is a Valentine's Day cliche to some but will always be one of my favorites. Mix it up with a flower arrangement like this to show how special and beautiful that someone is to you.

SENTIMENTAL Nothing says "I love you" like a beautiful piece of jewelry. Especially when taking that extra step to personalize it to make it more meaningful.

STRAIGHT FROM THE HEART Cards are always a great way to express in words exactly how you feel about someone. Keep it simple, sentimental, and speak straight from your heart, and you'll end up with the perfect gift for that special someone.

Details are what make a house a home, so why not choose something that can add a little life and color into your room. Peonies are my favorite flowers, and I have yet to find a more beautiful arrangement of them.

It's sometimes hard to find the right forever flowers, but this arrangement looks so real. The best part is, you can place them anywhere from your nightstand to the center of your dining room table -- you can't go wrong! Whether it's these pink peonies or another arrangement we have here in the store, (we have plenty to choose from) they will add just the right amount of elegance & beauty to your home!

Ottomans are great. There's nothing like getting home after a long day and kicking your feet up on a soft ottoman while you finish that novel.

One of my favorite arrivals at Alice Lane is this vintage rug ottoman. One-of-a-kind pieces like these are special additions to a home. The colors and craftsmanship are beautiful. This ottoman brings the perfect amount of interest and function to a sitting room. It has enough color to get your attention but doesn't distract from the rest of the space. It blends well with a number of color schemes. Not only is this piece beautiful, but the vintage rug upholstery makes it strong and durable. This ottoman will be able to keep your eyes and your tired feet happy longer than the original ottomans were around. (Which was 624 years...I checked.)
