Hello everyone, welcome to Dear Alice. Today we are going to be taking you behind the scenes of our brand new collection that just launched Monday called House Lights. These are a set of lighting that we've been working on in our own product development designed by the house for you guys and I cannot wait. These are scene changers. Really, really excited for you guys to get your hands on these and to get them home. It's been a really personal collection to Suzanne and I Both installed these lights in our house and we're actually shooting our houses for this launch. So the launch just went live Monday. When you're looking at them. That's that's how we live And we wanted these for the way that we live. So it's felt really personal. I'm just so excited to be able to break it down. It's really for lights in the collection, but we've done each of the lights in different sizes. So The collection is about seven pieces big and I think they're going to make a huge impact in your spaces in In small spaces or even bigger spaces. We've got some really large scale flush mounts. We've got some tiny flush mouses, which is one of our favorite design tricks. A new baby lamp in the collection and a really cool sconce. So let's get into it. Okay, let's do Maybe before we do. I was thinking just since it's a new year, we can like Give them a little sneak peek on some other launches we have in the future, like maybe the new classics one And some of our favorite pieces from them. Yes, so much to look forward to in 2026 we've been working hard at so many things for years and years and they're all just starting To finally come in and we've been sitting in prototypes and and sitting in final pieces and flying over there and sitting and stuff and Rewriting things. So yeah, for sure. What are some of the ones that you're excited about the cocoon swivel that one took such a long time. The mechanism is very unique on it. It's a swivel rocker. It was like back and forth and then side to side as well. Every man male client of every design project has requested this thing. Yes. Everybody wants movement and just like to be able to do do both. You can't usually find a swivel rocker that doesn't look like an old lady slip covered Situation for a nursery. Exactly. So that's what's so exciting about this. Yeah, it feels. Yeah, iconic. And very cool. Thank you. And I'm maybe most proud of the fabric on it because it is next level. We had that sample made like four or five different times, I think, and went from fabric to fabric. And I'm glad where we landed. Super excited about that one. Yeah, me too. About you, Jess. We have two center hall tables coming out for you. We've only ever had the James table. I think since we started creating furniture back in 2019. So coming out of the gate with two brand new center hall tables is really great spoiler alert. We've got a Lucas center hall table. Center halls are a little bit taller than a dining table by two inches. It just gets it where you need it in an entry way. And then we're about 48 inches round. And then we have a really beautiful octagonal one with a really pretty gold inlay. It's kind of this pretty sort of chalky French greenish grayish color that just looks so stately. I think anywhere you put it whatever style you are. So the center halls, I think are going to be so fun and fun for a LID center halls because I know so many of the entries we do. We love that tricks snuggled up against a staircase or right in the foyer. They're so easy to use. They are so easy to use. Yeah, and like, you know, we love to style. It's just one more shivers versus style. It's so true. Yes, I love it. It's so true. We've got a mid century pink slipper chair coming. Really gorgeous. I'm so excited about that. Yeah, some new chagrin trays. Anyway, look forward to that. We're going to be launching what we're calling the new classics in February. Yeah, coming soon in a little less than a month from now. Yeah, three or four weeks. I think what's so exciting about like not only like looking forward to that, but what we're going to talk about today, House Lights and all of our collections, honestly, are so inspired by like how we live now, how we design now, but also just a reminiscent of like what we've left from the past and what has been iconic in the past and trying to like marry the two. That's what I'm so excited because when I look at House Lights, I feel like the one for our caviar light. We picked that up how many years ago. Sue and I love to go on a little vintage treasure hunt whenever we go shopping really anywhere. And I found this little old fashioned light and I don't even know what era it would have been out of, but it was this little squared off sconce. It looked like you would just hang it on a nail. I'm going to call it the 20s. Probably the 20s. Yeah. And we were able to take an idea and then riff off of it and come up with something that we would use today, which turned into being a huge flush mount. Because it's frustrating when you're looking for a flush mount to find something that's 12 inches round for an entire room. I mean, bedrooms used to be 10 by 10, but they're bigger now and you need bigger flush mounts. And so we actually went about 17 inches on this thing. It's it's about one and a half times larger than what most people are going to give you. And getting the glass right took a really long time just to be able to sculpt glass like this. And it's it resembles almost like bubbles. And even the glass has sort of an amber cast to it and a slight iridescence. And Suze is living with it in her bedroom. Nice. Yeah. So beautiful. Yeah. It's the caviar collection in general is ridiculous. And also before I don't know if we want to like keep going with the caviar. I was going to say just about the whole collection, I think about our design projects, which are huge, you know, but that every home has little petite spaces, large spaces that need them. So I'm so glad not only did we do something original, but we did something in multiple scales. I can't think of a house that wouldn't take these lights beautifully and originally, which is really exciting, I think, for a light. And honestly, like for us, it was fun to experiment. I live in a 1971 cowboy house, you know, with eight foot ceilings. And my house is every time I keep adding and you and I both lived with antiques and antique lights that we just installed just for our own like love of the game and merit. So just to be able to offer that to people is just it's so gratifying that we're creating something so original, but so steeped in something historic. I'm excited for you guys to see it all and get it in your homes because I know I've loved living within mine. Let's keep going on that. Caviar. Caviar. Let's pull up, which we just show them. We'll show them both of them. Yeah. Yeah. You're smaller big. I'll hold the small. Okay. You'll hold the big. Yeah. If you guys are tuning in, obviously on YouTube or Spotify, you're going to see this. If not, we're going to describe it for you if you're wherever else you get your podcasts. So the Caviar Light, we wanted to do this beautiful brass bullnose edge. They would give it some relief off the ceiling because these are flush mounts. I love it when a flush mount really projects down into the space. And so giving ourselves this really big, beautiful, almost two inch solid brass bullnose, like that is just so and then you can see that pretty amber iridescent glow. It really does feel like a little kid dipped his stick in his bubbles and started to blow. It's just so beautiful. I know when I put it up like this, it's reflecting the lights from the podcast, but up on the ceiling, Susie, you just painted your bedroom ceiling. If you want to take people on that journey, we'll put some of the images up on the screen of your bedroom. We installed the large Caviar flush mount on Susie's ceiling. We painted our room of this really moody, like, cinnamony color. And what glass and crystal does, like against our color, is it like exaggerates the shadows. And so when you get a shape like this, like the everlasting gob stopper, Caviar, gorgeous moment, I really feel the pillowing of these bubbles on my ceiling and it just like casts the most beautiful light. And I love colored glass. I feel like we've collected more of that than anything just because there's something about that transparency of just like seeing, like into something that's just like this grand reveal of like the space feels larger. It feels more magical. There's a mystique to it. And that's what I feel in my bedroom. And I have it in the large and it is perfect. It is so perfect. And I love going to sleep, looking at that. And I love waking up, looking at that. I can't wait to figure out where I'm gonna let you because you're so cute. When you held it up vertically, all these, like you can use them as a flesh mount. Yeah. But you can also use them as sconce. Totally. This would be so great. I'm like, why have we not done that? Clanking an entry mirror in a hallway or yeah, I can't wait to see. We're going down a hallway like how iconic are you? That would be amazing in between doors. Also, I love the trick when you use a mini flesh mount instead of a can light. You can easily make that update in like maybe you have sort of a primary closet would be great. A hallway closet. Or if you have a smaller hallway like you have, we replaced two lights with the flesh mounts coming up. But I love the small size for that. I think lighting is getting so smart with mono points and small flesh mounts like this and just more charming than a can light. I was thinking when we were trying to figure out where should we put these above your sink in that little spot, say in between two cabinets. And again, whenever you have that textured glass, it just puts off the coolest lights and shadows. Yes. And where we did end up shooting this for the install was in one of our designer, Maddie. She painted her little tiny potty closet oxblood. Put this mini flesh mount in there and it looks so good. She also used our new red mod sconce. Flanking the mirrors. That's your crush on. So designer, so pretty. We'll put those pictures on screen right now so you can see how that turned out. But this is the caviar flesh mount in two sizes, big, beautiful, bold, two inch brass, bullnose, really gorgeous textured glass. I cannot wait for you guys to experience these, get them home. If you're to the trade to get to use these in projects, they're available now. And this is the caviar. One thing added to that before we move on, I love that we kept the DNA of Ace and Alice too on that bullnose. And so it kind of just feels cohesive, feels Alice Lane. So super proud of these. Best bracelet stack y'all. Totally. And I will say of house lights, that is the one piece that you'll see repeated throughout the collection. There'll be a bullnose on the mods sconce. There's a bullnose, a double bullnose on the Alice. We'll get into those next. Should we talk about the red mods sconce? Let's do it. Let's do it. Okay. So you guys know the mods sconce. We've done it in brass. And then we came out with a double armed mods sconce because you guys all wanted a double of it. We wanted to pay a little homage to Jean Royer, French designer from 1902. He lived from 1902 to 1981. And we love his work. It is modernism. It is whimsy. And he just really had this way of, I just think, making iconic interiors. And we wanted to get our hands on a red sconce and we can't do it. We couldn't do it anywhere. If you do get so lucky to find a pair at auction, they will take up your entire lighting budget. For your whole house. So we thought it'd be fun to take our own spin on it and create a red sconce to pay homage to him. And this is the mods sconce in red. I love how this turned out. You can see that bullnose edge around it. We've got a really steep shade in linen, off white linen on top and so chic. I just installed these in my home office. We also just installed it in a little dark moody powder bath. This is going to be iconic in any interior. I could not be more excited. And this color, it's almost that tomato-y red too. It's not just a true ruby red or anything, but it goes with anything. Like even in branding, when you put this color, highlight anything. In this color, it just makes it come alive. And that's what this color does for interiors. I tell you, I put red in a room and it's the star every time. And so, I don't know, I love, I think one thing that he was so good at is just he was playful. You know, and I think that this adds something that's just like, is playful to an interior, so we don't get too serious. I agree. Life is too short. It is too short. Too stuffy. When you're like, I want to know their story. Like, you know you're going to get compliments on the sconces when you come in. It's like that signature red lip that you have. It's you get compliments on it all day. You can now get this in your home. Get a lot of credit. Yeah. With the real tired eyes. But you have a red lip. Yeah. Have a real messy room, but you have a red sconce. Yeah. Stealing all the lifting. You win. Yeah. So good. So good. I love the mod sconce. I do too. What is the color called? Like just the mod in red? Do you remember what Ben Moore color we used? Merleau red, but it is slightly different than that because we, yeah, we gist it up a little bit. Changed it a little bit. Yeah. Yeah. I love it. It oddly took probably over a year to get the red right. Sending the prototypes back and forth and just trying to make sure and land it. But it does feel, it does feel very iconic. It feels very Louis V to me with, you know, that whole collection he did with the tomatoes. I wanted to call it tomato red, but then they were saying it'd be very rare to call it flag red, which was kind of fun because if you think about the French flag, there's red in it. Also American flag is in it. But at the end of the day, I was like, I don't want to call it tomato or Merleau or we all see red so differently. And I do feel like this is iconic and it's fresh without being too mature. Yeah. Yeah. And it's a ton thing. Yeah. Exactly. You guys, I got a great idea for Valentine's this season. Let's hear it. Well, Cozy Earth is offering Bogo pajama deal. Did you know this? No way. They've never done it before. So Bogo means buy one, get one. So I'm going to buy pajamas for me and I'm also going to buy a pair for my daughter, Jane, that lives at home because what mom doesn't want to dress just like her daughter. Exactly. She's going to hate it. She's 20, but she's going to love the pajamas. In the most comfortable jammies that ever existed on planet Earth. The most comfortable pajamas. Oh, you want to know who I'm going to give mine to? Who? My mom. And my sister, which means I get two pair and they each get one of the most comfortable pajamas on planet Earth. Seriously though, these are so lightweight and cozy and I like how Taylor, they look, you know me, I want to still look good even in my pajamas. The little piping around the collar. They're like the draping too. I think so too. I have not seen these not look good on anybody. They drape beautifully. They're so soft. Also, they're cooler than cotton, which is very important. And the color fast. Color fast. They stay the same color and they do not peel. Years later, I tell you what. Yes, I agree. So comfortable. You look chic in them. You wake up feeling good. I'm in love with the pajamas and love that there's a bogo going on. These viral PJs are so good that they sold out during the holidays and now they're back with an exclusive deal only available January 25th to February 8th. Head to cozyearth.com today and use our code, dear Alice Bogo, to get these PJs for you and someone you love. And if you get a post purchase survey, be sure to mention you heard about cozy earth right here. Celebrate everyday love with comfort. That makes the little moments count. Okay, next up, let's do the, do you want me to do penny? I love that. Okay, so you guys know the penny lamp. She has been in the collection since the beginning, since we've offered lighting. So probably five years now. Last year we came out with the Althina Calcutta lamp in Viola and it has been everybody's favorite lamp. And so we thought, why don't we give the people what they want and make penny the best seller and make her body in Calcutta Viola. So we sampled it and loved it. We thought, yep, we're going to do it. We're going to make that available in not just one, but both sizes of penny. We make it in alabaster in just the large. We make it in brass in just small. We make it in crystal in both sizes and we are making this in both sizes. We're so bold. We are a real brass, beautiful body under the neck. You can see and finial. And then we've got a linen shade and this beautiful, unpolished marble. It's so stunning. I've got this on my secretary at home. I'm tempted to take it off of that and put it in my kitchen. I've got the large one sitting on my Beatrice Brass Edigeur in my bathroom. I want to steal it for other areas of the house. It is so classically beautiful. That little height lives perfectly on a backsplash underneath the kitchen counters. It can live in small areas, big areas, grand piano. I mean, where would you put this? Sue's on a project. Oh gosh. You already said this in the kitchen, like I have the Athena in the Viola kitchen, but I'm like, maybe I want this in my kitchen. I'm going to move Athena somewhere else. So kitchen for sure. I think too, I have a penny lamp and I want to replace it with this. Actually on my TV console, because I have stacks of books. We have a TV, obviously, but you can put a little lamp there and not have it be obstructive. And like people ask about that all the time. And it just like, I have that on. It's like a little nightlight all the time. So I think on a long console, I love it on a desk. Love it on a desk so much. Yeah, I could put this anywhere. I have mine and on a little side table that we have, we have a small mud hall that we enter in 95% of the time. I just love having a little light on there at night. I don't have the kitchen lights on just that one. It's that that room's adjacent to it. So I just love the glow of that. And obviously like this marble is bananas. So love it. I think one thing that's really nice about all of the pieces in the collection is that they all have this sort of soft globe shape or half globe or bullnose. These soft shapes or the bubbles, these soft shapes are really what I feel like so many rooms need. There's so many straight lines at a house. We've seen curves come really into fashion. And I think we're going to see this orb shape for a lot of time to come. It's just so nice just taking the edge off. I also have my large crystal penny in my mud hall on a little chest that is always on. I leave it on around the clock and it is just a like little beautiful punctuation mark in that space. And I really love the softness that it brings the soft light. It just feels and looks like home. This is just big, big fashion points for the viola. Not all of us can afford to replace our countertops right now. I know if we could, a lot of us would love to do something a little bit more just remarkable and wild and look fashionable. But this is a way to get that hit, whether it be at your makeup vanity or your back hallway or in your kitchen. So this is the penny lamp available in both sizes and just launched Monday. Can't wait for you guys to get these. We'll find every one of them are different. So I love a wild card y'all. I love a grab bag because I'm like, you get it and like you open it up and it's like, it was made for you. You know, it's so individually yours. Exactly. I'm like, that one has like, you know, there are the vanings closer to each other. So you feel more of that, but then you have the white space on the little one. Anyway, I just, I'm obsessed with it. And like, I need both of them. Yeah. I need both. Yeah, they're so good. Okay. The last one in our collection, this is our Alice flush mount. We have an Alice sconce and it has a single bullnose with an alabaster center. And we started saying, gosh, we could grow that collection and we could do a flush mount. But a alabaster has become so, so extremely rare and expensive to get. They were like, how could we keep these in check cost wise for people and make it really, really big? I think we did a great job doing this. We thought, let's do white glass and let's do the double bullnose. And this is the result. This is a really beautiful steep dome, that double bracelet of a bullnose. Oh, so good. Sue Hall, you are living with the small Alice, two of these in your hallway. How is it going? I love them. I don't know. Like, and I didn't even know I needed them so badly. Yeah. Again, I'd been like, I moved into this house. I stripped it of all of its ugly lighting. And I've been living with light bulbs. And I was like, okay, cool artists, whatever. And I have these Tom. Like we have both, we have two little, two of these. And we have all this art, just like lining the hallway. And you like look up. All of a sudden I feel my ceiling. I didn't really feel it before. I kind of just like ignored it. It's not too grand. Like there's something so sweet about the humble with all these oils and paintings and storytellers, you know, that it just, it gets along with everybody, but it has a cool vibe and a cool mood that it feels at home. Yeah. It feels really, really at home. I love these. I think, and we're always talking about just like design projects in general. Like what are things that like we're always looking for? And I'm always looking for a creative flesh mount because every home needs them. We need them in potty closets. We need them, you know, down hallways. We need them in mud rooms, you know, just anywhere we need like a spotlight that I don't want to put a can. I need something that's not going to be competing with everything else. Because we all have collections. And so this was such, I didn't realize how easy and like, but also it has an opinion. It's not like void of like personality at all. And so to have these like with my collection, it just, it feels right at home. It feels like something I would have found, you know, on cherish or first dibs, which is my favorite hunt. And so I love that we're bringing that to people. I do too. I love how that turned out. And then the big one, the big one you just barely put in your boys bedroom. I did. This is massive. We're about 17 inches. You're a big girl. Across in this and it is huge. It really lights up the room. How many light bulbs were in that one? Three. Yeah. Just show your standard E26 bulbs. These are fun too, because in my boys room, I'm a color drenched. We're blue on the ceiling, blue on the walls. So it's really fun. You really feel the brass and that white dome in there. Like during the day, I love going in there in the morning and seeing it. And I love turning it on at night. You know, oh, I just, yeah, they're so cool. They feel iconic. And it's just that vintage, that old school cool man. It just is everything. Yeah. So I'm playful and I love having a soft shape. In a room where there's a lot of the straight lines and it just sort of evokes a real feeling projecting into the space and that double bull knows you really get credit for. You do. Yeah. The white glass too, I think is so iconic because I have pulled that for so many homes and we've ordered it for so many homes where it just is something that is just like reminiscing of the past. It's interesting, not competitive, but just has a vibe to it and like we have it. And a really great skill at that. It's not too narrow. The diameter is like awesome. That's it. I mean, that is the lighting collection. The Alice in both sizes, you can replace those cam lights. You can use a flush mount. I think it's such a cool way, especially those eight foot ceilings. We need, we need, you guys, there's so many people with eight foot ceilings where you need a flush mount. You don't have enough space to be able to come too far down into it without hitting your head. And I think these look so iconic in, in your house. That's what you've been seeing on the screen today is Suzanne's spaces. And then also Maddie's beautiful powder bath. I've got the penny lamps at my house. So it's been fun to get to take you guys inside the collection. Any final words, Corey, on this I'm forgetting to tell them about? This always happens with every launch. We have limited quantities of all of them and they all sell out. And then I'm in a mad dash to like, you know, get them back in stock. So get them while you can and yeah, enjoy them. Yeah, for sure. For sure. Well, thanks so much you guys for tuning in. If you have any questions for us, just send those to dear Alice at AliceLaneHome.com. Or if there's an episode idea that you wish that we would cover, send those in as well. Make sure and give us a follow on Instagram. We are at Alice Lane Home on Instagram. That's our store side and all the product that we're making. And at Alice Lane Interiors for the custom homes that we're designing. Yeah, check out the new collection. It's called House Lights on AliceLaneHome.com. Why did you call it House Lights? Good question. Yeah. Because I felt like it'd be fun to call it House Lights because the house designed the lights. So often we've specified lighting from other people's lines. And now we're designing the lights. So we thought it'd be fun to call it House Lights. Also, you know, when you go to a production and they say, can I get the House Lights on? Yep. Yep. I thought that was fun. And I think anything going forward can move into the House Lights collection because they were designed by the house. Yeah. For you. Yeah. Last little plug is I also installed the Lulu sconces in my room. You're going to see that. But it also works so beautifully together. You know, they're not the same. Like they were introduced at the same time, but they are all part of the House Lights collection. And they all live really harmoniously together. So yeah, I love that. Cheers to that. Also, do you remember how fun the House Candy Collection was? Gosh. House Lights. We just couldn't resist. I know. Yeah. I love that. Check it out on AliceLaneHome.com. Thanks so much for tuning in.
