Welcome to Dear Alice, a lifestyle approach to interior design.

Hello everyone, welcome to Dear Alice. Welcome to Dear Alice. Guys, we're in June. It's the sixth month.

We're halfway through 2025. Is that feel weird? It blows my mind. I feel like I should say it out loud just to make it feel normal for a minute. Yeah. And like I feel like, yeah,

now I have like a son who's going to be in second grade. That just, it's crazy.

It's my mind. Fifth grader. Wow. All this is going to fifth grade.

Anyway, we have months away from that. So let's not talk about school right now. Let's enjoy the summer. Let's enjoy the summer. Yes. Live in the now. Exactly.

Well, guys, I will say everybody wants to talk about outdoor right now and the work that we're

doing and the collections we're making.

It's all about being on vacation at your own home and just really dolling up the outdoors.

But I think people oftentimes don't know what their furniture style should be on the outside of their home.

And I think that people are faced with so many contemporary options today, that they have this, they have this mid-crisis moment, this mid-century, what do you call it, mid-life crisis?

Yeah, mid-life gap.

Where you're like, I'm going to buy a sports car.

I feel like sometimes people buy contemporary furniture on the outside of their home because

they're in a new mood or whatnot.

So I just, I think we need to provide some guidelines because you do have a little bit of an

identity crisis sometimes about what am I going to do out there.

It's true. Yeah.

Finally, you're going to afford it. You're going to, like you want to dine out fresco.

You want to dine out fresco because, again, we've all been inside for all winter long.

So we just want to be outside because that's where our kids are.

Also, is there any more perfect weather than June? I think it's, it's June is like our gift.
