You're listening to Dear Alice, a lifestyle approach to interior design.

Hey, welcome to Dear Alice. We're excited about today's topic, aren't we too?

We sure are.

Yeah, we get one of these questions probably the most on our carpool Q&A and we felt like it would be really good to just talk about it right now.

A lot of you probably live in a home, maybe you're under construction right now and you have questions about built-ins.

And it's a huge part of your cabinatory budget, besides your kitchen.

I feel like today, it used to be that cabinetry only was in bathrooms and a kitchen.

Yeah.

Maybe a laundry room, but really that was optional in the old days.

And today I feel like our cabinetry budgets have more than doubled

with the amount of

cabin a tree that we put into homes with built-ins.

And built-ins are one of those things that are not just in the family room,

but they're in home offices, they're in bedrooms sometimes, yeah, family rooms, family rooms in the basement yeah so we've there's a lot of

areas where where you can have cabnetry and so today's question was our

entertainment centers still in style

if you want that custom completed look?

Yeah.

And to that, I would say in general, no, they're not.

And they're really not available, like in the marketplace,

we go to market twice a year, and we never see entertainment units

anymore because everything is so integrated.
