Welcome to Dear Alice, a we're going to be doing an episode on space planning. That is a fancy word for furniture arrangement. It's what we call it in the biz. So make sure and call it space planning when you're talking to your husband

or your friends. Your fancy friends. Yes, called space planning. They'll think you're so wise.

This is something that we do at the beginning of a project as soon as we get the plans from the architect.

We start throwing furniture blocks in that space so we can get a sense for how this space is going

to function and flow. And also, if the room is the right size for what the client really needs,

and it's a real art form, I feel like, don't you? Oh, yeah. When we go to, even when we go to market,

like for the last, how many, like, the last decade.

Yeah. Like, you can definitely, like, see the boys from the men. Yes. You know, there are very few

showrooms that we walk into and we're like, stop. Stop, pause. Do you see what he did right there yeah see that like okay we're seeing the same

thing and then like anyway you just like you have to like it's like a great museum you go around it 10

times because there's just like different like angles and tweaks and things that make it so much

more interesting and usable as like a human being and our scale that it really it really does i think

just separate us and it's something that we we pride

ourselves on and that we're always just like in in our own homes we're like jizzing and like scooting

and moving and angling and just because furniture is like sculpture a lot of them if you're getting

interesting pieces and however you move those things like you see it

differently you use it differently people feel it differently so anyway space planning it's an art and we are

so we're invested we love it yeah different focal points a little sense of discovery play and scale

we really want to teach you as much as we can teach you today in this podcast about the art

of space planning. So that's what we've prepared for you. And if you can watch, we've got some
