It's your lucky day! Come join us at Wonderland by Alice Lane for one awesome sale all day long on Thursday, March 17th. This sale is only happening at our Orem, UT Wonderland store, so get ready to shop and save big on everything from sofas to pillows. Get 20% off the entire store for ONE DAY ONLY!
I'm currently a sucker for all things watercolor, including this series of Tree Ring artwork we currently have in our Salt Lake store. There's something about these pieces that makes them look nearly three dimensional. Like you could reach right into the painting and feel the depth of that cut wood! The great thing about this series is that you can mix and match them however you like. You can hang a pair (like we did up above), or use all four variations to make a complete gallery wall. Plus, they're perfectly neutral, so they work in almost any space! 
XOXO, TOM
It's the final countdown! To spice things up a bit, we just added a few more items to our sale room and even took additional markdowns on existing sale pieces. Check out of these final deals at our Salt Lake showroom before they're gone forever. Only 3 days left!!!

With winter making its final farewells and the tease of spring time temperatures in the air, it’s time to rethink our overworked rugs that sustained us through the muddy months. A new layer underfoot feels so welcome and fresh – especially one that’s incredibly comfy on our newly found bare feet.
Marbury Steel Rug $913
Our Wonderland location currently has this beauty in stock and it’s so soft we can’t help but run our fingers through it several times daily. This is the kind of rug that you’d invite the neighbors over to meet, and then cozy up on for the Downton Abbey finale after they finally left. On second thought, you may want to keep this one a secret, because once the neighbors find out, they’ll be running their toes through the exact one in their own living room. Some things in life are just too good to share.
XOXO, Holly A.
Lookie here! Jessica Bennett, Owner & Design Principal of Alice Lane Home, has been nominated as one of Traditional Home's "New Trads." If anyone is deserving of such a title, it's this lady right here. Do something good today and go vote for her HERE: http://newtrads.traditionalhome.com/entry/1926/. You'll actually earn yourself a voting badge you can be proud of this year!
It's been awhile since we've done any formal introductions around here, so we thought we'd share a little bit about Jess and what makes her tick. You know...like what's her favorite treat? That kind of stuff. We're going deep people!
Q: What's your personal take on design? A: I believe good design improves the function of our spaces, in the most beautiful way imaginable! Before I put my designs in action, I ensure that it’s custom fit and every little part is considered and loved. My work is always so personal. It's thoughtful, collected, and usually some form of transitional style. My team and I are mix masters. We put in all the right ingredients, and then send it through our transitional filter. It must perform well, as well as look good. When it does both, that is design at work! Most importantly, I feel like our designs best represent each of our clients.
Q: What are your proudest accomplishments? A: This past summer our French Moderne Manor home was featured in the Utah Valley Parade of Homes. It was voted Best Home, and also swept the competition in other areas like Best Interior Design, Best Master Suite, and Best Kitchen. This past month, the home was featured on the cover of Utah Style & Design Magazine. Pinch me! It was a huge project, and literally everyone on our staff was needed to complete the project on an accelerated build schedule in order for it to be ready for the parade, be judged, and toured by tens of thousands of people. All of these recent accomplishments take me back to how proud I am of the design program we've built here at Alice Lane Home. Designers, Jr. Designers, Stylists, and Interns - they each play a role in our success. As our company has grown, each member of our team has been able to expand their wings and grow. My mama heart couldn't be more proud of them!
Q: How did you get started in Interior Design? A: I studied Advertising Design at Utah State University. Afterwards I worked as an Art Director and Creative Director for a few advertising firms. It was my love for design that got me a job designing the corporate head quarters for Omniture, a local Software Company. That soon led to designing the executives homes where my design work took off. I opened Alice Lane Home Collection, our home furnishings boutique and interior design firm, in 2008 to make transitional style furnishings more available in Utah. It also allowed me to gain more access and resources to the types of furnishings I was passionate about. Today our firm is working on over 100 design projects with 10 designers on staff, 60 employees over all, and 2 furniture showrooms in Orem and Salt lake City, Utah. Our online home furnishings store will go live this April!
Q: Do you have a favorite design book? A: Yes! ABCDC's is full of basic design tips that everyone should know. I highly recommend it.
Q: And because we really want to know...what's your favorite treat? A: The Kouign Amann pastry from Les Madeleines, a local French bakery here in Salt Lake City. It's to die for! With layers of flaky sweetness, it's a rich, buttery caramelized piece of heaven. If you're ever in the area, you need to try it!
See...she really is awesome! So now you can feel really good about your decision and go VOTE!
When it comes to serving ware, you can't go wrong with classic white pieces. We love our Hobnail dish collection because it gives the right amount of edge and personality to an otherwise simple silhouette.
The textured porcelain bowls have that farmhouse charm with high-end finish. Pair them with the matching hobnail butter dish and these white porcelain compotes and you've got a killer combination for your next dinner party.
Check them out now at Alice Lane Home Collection in Salt lake City, in-stock now!
XOXO, Andrea W.

There's an easy way to add elegance and sophistication to a boring bedroom. It's a little something we, at Wonderland, call the Park Avenue bed. This beauty of a bed has been our number one seller at Wonderland, and it's easy to see why...
From its deep tufting of textured linen-y cotton to its impressive stature, the Park Avenue is a real winner. Available in both queen and king and at a price that won't break the bank.
As a bonus, anytime you buy a bed at Wonderland by Alice Lane, you'll receive 20% off any additional bedding you buy that day. This promotion is good all-year-round, so next time you're thinking about getting a new bed, think Wonderland!
XOXO, Susan
Today we're taking you into the basement of the French Moderne Manor. Yes, if you can believe it, this well-lit space is a basement! Each floor of this home really has it's own purpose, and the basement is all about entertainment and fun. Whether it be the culinary masterpiece of a kitchen or the home theater that's even more glamorous than old Hollywood, this basement has everything you need to entertain a crowd. Perhaps some of the most modern details of this home present themselves in the basement...like this vintage modern console table behind a low-back chichester sectional in the lounge. We also incorporated a lot of modern art, which really sets the tone for this casual space.
Not every basement kitchen gets an 8 foot long iron range hood...but this one sure did! Our clients love to entertain and host family and friends regularly, so having a space where they could cook and entertain at once was important. Only steps away from the home theater, indoor gymnasium and racquetball court, kids playroom, and lounge... this kitchen is literally central to every party!
The keeping area overlooks the indoor gymnasium making it a great spot for adults to relax and keep an eye on the game below. Designed for relaxation and conversation, it could almost pass for a true gentlemen's club!
The woodworking details in the home theater are UN-real. Inspired by old Hollywood art deco, the wall panels and columns were trimmed out in a stained oak. Counterbalanced by a modern and geometric wallpaper on the ceiling, this space is a real glam-slam. And let's just say that the lighting really knows how to set the mood!
You know when you're browsing through your social media channels and fall down a rabbit hole that inevitably leads you to browsing beautiful pictures of homes on Houzz.com? Admit it...we've all been there. Houzz is one of the many websites we visit regularly to keep up on trends, share our design projects, and search for inspiration. So you can imagine our excitement when we were awarded "Best of Houzz 2016" this past week!
It's an honor to be selected among the top 3% of Houzz home pros for upholding standards of excellence. This is the 4th year in a row we've been awarded with this title, and it feels pretty darn good to know we continue to be top leaders in design.
Next time you find yourself on Houzz.com, be sure to check out our profile page where you'll now see a new shiny "Best of Houzz 2016" green badge. You can also view all of our recent design projects there. And if you see something you like or have any questions, don't be afraid to reach out to us! We do our best to answer all your questions about our designs and we'd love to help you in the process of making your home your favorite place on earth.
Last week we were tickled pink to see the kitchen of our Lakeside Loft project spotlighted on BHG.com as an unexpected way to add color to your kitchen (check out the full article online here if you missed it!). Of course, we're all for adding color in unexpected ways, and these indigo kitchen cabinets are just one example of that. So, we thought we'd do our own take on 5 Ways to Add Color to Your Kitchen...
While we love a white kitchen as much as anyone, it's nice to see a kitchen that has a little color! Here we opted to paint all the bottom cabinets an indigo blue (Indigo Batik by Sherwin Williams to be exact). It's a fun contrast to the white cabinets and white subway tile above, and definitely eye catching!
Here we painted this cupboard a country green and it's just the right amount of color in this little kitchenette. If you want to keep your cabinets a classic white, consider painting a cupboard, sideboard, or pantry door instead. This colorful barn door not only adds architectural interest, but gives the kitchen personality!
If you're not quite ready to make the plunge into painting cabinets, try lining your cabinets with a paper or fabric for a fun pop of color. Here we lined the backs of these glass cabinets with an orange grass-cloth paper in a trellis print. All of the sudden those white dishes just pop! As a bonus, it can make even the simplest of cabinets look expensive and custom.
A colored back splash is a great way to add color in an otherwise neutral kitchen. If you're looking for a way to set your kitchen apart from all the other white kitchens out there, find a unique tile that speaks to who you are. As a tip, try taking the tile all the way up the wall where allowed. It will intensify the color and make your kitchen look grandeur.
If you're looking for a quick fix, try incorporating colorful dishes, food, and accessories. They can transform your colorless kitchen into something entirely new. We love to fill jars and bowls with fresh fruits and vegetables (which just so happens to be incredibly convenient to do in a kitchen), and fill shelves with cookbooks. It's appropriate, practical, and colorful!
If only you could be five again and live in a bedroom that was head-to-toe pink! Right? Today we'll let you dream for a minute or two as we give you a tour of the kids bedrooms in the French Moderne Manor. They're perhaps the sweetest rooms of them all! Being fairly young, we wanted to create spaces that the kids could grow into and love through each phase of life. In fact, at first glance you might not even categories these as "kids rooms," but you'll soon pick up on the subtle touches here and there that make these rooms as youthful as they are beautiful.

It's baaaaack! We're thrilled to finally pick up where we left off with the tour of our French Moderne Manor project. As you may know, it was recently featured in Utah Style & Design magazine where it even made the cover! Because we wanted that feature to really be something special, we held off on showing more pictures of the home here on the blog. Just imagine how much restraint we had to have! But the chains are finally loosed and we're ready to show off more of this beauty. To welcome you all back, we thought we 'd start with the entry. I believe this is what they call a "Grand Entrance." We designed this eye-catching floor pattern in CAD and used 3 variations of stone tile to achieve this look. Sooo worth the head-banging calculations it took to get this right!
Immediately upon entering the home you walk into the living room where these massive windows frame the most beautiful views out back. A traditional limestone fireplace stands as a major focal point, and a large mirror reflects the shimmering chandelier that hovers overhead. While our clients wanted the majority of their home to feel comfortable and casual, this was one space we really stepped things up a notch. Every detail and accessory in this room exudes luxury.
The den is a bit of a surprise with it's dark and moody design. It's masculine, bold, stylish, but most of all... jaw-dropping. Our client's one request for this room was the fish tank. We decided to build it into the bookshelves were it acts as a live piece of art for the space. The flooring from the entry continues into the den and we love the high-contrast between the floors and the smokey walls.

I dare say there was no better way to ring in the New Year than to see our French Moderne Manor smack-dab on the cover of the newest issue of Utah Style & Design. Not only is it a dream to see our work front and center, but the issue boasts 11 full pages of the home inside. You could say it's a major pay-off for all the hard work we put in in 2015!
We're pretty proud of this home. The French Moderne Manor was showcased in the 2015 Utah Valley Parade of Homes this past summer (big shout out to our partner McEwan Custom homes!), where it was voted not only Best Home, but also Best Interior Design, Best Kitchen, Best Master Suite, and swept many other categories. Ah! That still makes us giddy to think about.
We know many of you have anxiously been waiting for us to share more of this home with you, so now you can finally go pick up your own copy of Utah Style & Design and delve into it's beautiful pages! Or, head on over to our Press page (here) to read the full article online and our Portfolio page (here) for a complete tour of the home. We're also working on a series of "Show N' Tell" blog posts that will give you a further look into the home, so stay tuned for that! If this is any indication of what's to come...2016 is going to be our year!
2015 was a big year for us. We launched our newest concept store Wonderland by Alice Lane, hosted the amazing Tom Felicia for a book signing at our store, showcased not just one but two amazing Parade Homes, received multiple awards including Best Interior Design in the Utah Valley Parade of Homes, and had multiple design projects featured in renowned design publications like Rue Magazine and Utah Style & Design. And somehow we managed to not completely implode in the process! Of course, we can't go without mentioning that the support and praise we received from all of you in 2015 was overwhelming! Our Instagram following more than doubled and we can't believe there are actually 70K people who follow and admirer our work. Wowza! So in celebration of such a great year, we thought we'd share our top 10 Instagram posts of 2015:
1. Cottonwood Craftsman Kitchen - It's easy to see why this kitchen was your favorite image from 2015. It's clean, fresh, cool and has the perfect touch of gray for a modern craftsman home. Check out more of this home in our portfolio here.
2. French Moderne Manor Living Room - What isn't there to love about this home! You aren't the only ones who loved it, it was recently featured in Utah Style & Design magazine and even made the cover!
3. Lakeside Loft Master Bedroom - You don't even have to look out the window to know that this bedroom is a lakeside retreat. This home was part of the Salt Lake Parade of Homes this past summer. We loved being able to showcase our work and we're so glad you all loved it!
4. Our Fall Porch - The perfect way to rock black and orange for the fall. We had a fun time decorating our front porch for fall and we're a little shocked to see that our humble abode made the top 10. Flattered to say the least.
5. French Modern Manor Master Bath - We're not one bit surprised to see that the French Modern Manor made 6/10 of our top ten posts. This Master Bathroom is a bit of dream. Check out more pictures of this home in our portfolio here.
6. French Modern Manor Playroom - It brings out the kid in all of us, doesn't it? Perhaps that why it received such love and admiration. And lets be honest...we're all a little jealous that a 5 year old lives in that playhouse.
6. Hilltop Haven Powder Bath - Those lights! We're right there with you on this one. This bathroom combination is a top ten for us too! Killer. Stay tuned for more on this project coming soon!
8. French Modern Manor Guest Bedroom - You read that right...guest bedroom. The homeowner offered to let us crash the night in this room during install...it was tempting. VERY tempting.
9. French Modern Manor Living Room - It's no surprise that this room made the top ten twice. This home was in the Utah Valley Parade of Homes this past summer and won several awards, including "Best Home" and "Best Interior Design". We're thrilled!
10. French Modern Manor Master Bath Vanity - It's the gold geode knobs, isn't it? Our hearts pitter-patter whenever we see them too.
We hope you all continue to follow along with us in 2016. We have a few tricks rolled up our sleeves and we can't wait to share them all with you! It's gonna be our year!
Oh man. If you're anything like me, it took a lot of self-motivation and alarm "snoozing" to get out of bed this morning. Who agrees that New Year's day should be on a Friday every year? The extra long weekend was sooo nice! But now it's back to life, back to reality. In case you missed our Christmas Sale over the weekend, here's something to perk up your Monday...70% off all remaining holiday decor!
We still have plenty of Christmas goodies to choose from, all for a steal of a deal! Come check it our before it's all gone. Sale is happening at both our Alice Lane Home Collection store in Salt Lake City and Wonderland by Alice Lane in Orem, UT.
