Summary

In this episode of Dear Alice, we talk about which pieces to invest in and where to save when designing a room. We try to focus the investment on the pieces that people will come in contact with the most. We talk about second hand furniture, repurposing furniture, how to know when you need to jump on something you connect with and when to wait.

0:00.0	You're listening to Dear Alice, a lifestyle approach to interior design.
0:17.0	Hey everybody, welcome! We're going to talk about investment pieces today. Lots of
0:28.3	questions about this topic like which pieces do we invest in versus which pieces is it okay not to spend as much on if you're putting together a room.
0:37.0	Yeah, there's a lot of components obvious to a room so I think this is a question we've all asked ourselves like I have this bucket of pennies like
0:44.0	where am I gonna throw them all and how do I get the best look from the best value?
0:48.4	Yeah that's great. So today's question is from at JQG and they ask what are some things we can do to make our place look more upscale or expensive which pieces to invest in. I love that they asked what pieces do they buy to look

1:53.9	So the things that you sit on, I think just universally, all the employees here, we invest in the
1:58.8	sofa. We invest in the things that we're really gonna be lounging on.
2:03.4	And again, it will look successful,
2:05.6	but it'll also make you feel successful
2:07.5	because when you sit in it, it feels fantastic, right?
2:11.5	And then a lot of the other pieces that are adjacent we talk about like maybe the side tables that's a low
2:17.7	But it's I don't know some of the case kids we've talked about this too that those are things like if people are going to start
