Summary

Not all offices are created equal, especially when a designer is designing for herself. In Remodel Masterclass: Host’s Edition, we step inside Jess’ office, a creative workspace where bold finishes, layered lighting, and personal pieces come together. From a statement wallpaper moment and high-gloss walls and ceilings to tailored window treatments and layered lighting, every detail adds depth and polish. Jess also proves you don’t need all new furniture to make an impact, reworking pieces like cocoon chairs, a Shirley table, and an Oscar stool, then finishing the space with styled books, travel finds, and decorative storage. If you’re planning a home office makeover or want designer tips for creating a workspace that feels inspiring and personal, this episode is full of ideas you can put to use.

0:00.0	Hello everybody. Welcome to Dear Alice. Today we're in for a really fun, very personal episode of Dear Alice. This is part of our
0:09.2	Remodel Masterclass series, but this is our special host edition. Much like Sue's remodeled her bedroom,
0:15.6	I at the same time was remodeling my home office. And I'm going to take you on that journey with me as I,
0:23.1	as I made decisions. It's really, really hard to do your own. So extremely. We as designers can
0:28.8	help other people all day and have vision for them. But when it comes to our own house,
0:33.0	we're like, I could see this going a lot of different ways in being happy. And how do I hone it down?
0:37.9	So I want to take you guys through doing your own. It's a different journey than giving advice to other people. Yeah. But it's nice when you have a phone the friend because I feel like we were doing this in tandem. Yeah. It would be like, okay, same issue. We're going to pull at you about this. And you're going to tell me what I need to do.
0:52.6	Totally.
0:53.3	Anyway, I felt like that was it with like your pink color and everything.

0:56.3	Just getting a second set of eyes that you trust is always really nice to have on on any project that you embark on or your own homes. You're like, remind me who I am on this journey. It's like if you're on a hard hike with a friend and you're like, give me a pep talk because I can't make it up that next part.
1:10.5	Exactly.
1:11.2	So I'm so excited.
1:12.6	I think 2014-15,
1:14.6	Justin, a friend and you're like, give me a pep talk because I can't make it up that next part. Exactly. So I'm so excited. I think 2014-15, Jess did a good job with the information she had about
1:17.3	who she was at the time. Yeah, she did. As we all evolve and change, so can our rooms. And, you know,
1:23.6	this wasn't, this wasn't rocket science. I mean, for the most part, it's paint and
1:28.5	it's a little bit of furniture changing it up, but the vibe really changes. And that's why this
1:34.4	is so important because this remodel master class isn't rocket science. This is something that all
1:38.8	of us can do that are listening or watching to this podcast. Hopefully this empowers you just
1:44.0	to make a new high gloss change to one of your rooms
