Hello everyone. Welcome to Dear Alice. Today, we are going to be answering one of your questions

so in depth that we need to do an entire podcast on it. And that is to splurge or not to splurge,

which is so juicy. Juicy topic. Because I feel like what we value is all different from each

other. And obviously from maybe a client you're taking through this

process or maybe you're trying to do this process with a partner who feels the opposite than

you do, which is, which is usually like what I run into in my household and I know so many others.

And so this is a really hard thing to answer, but we're going to give you our answers on what we would splurge on and kind of collectively agree on some of these things as we've taken clients through remodels.

Yeah.

I mean, this applies also to the build, but we particularly were like, this really applies if you're just taking on special projects in your home and need to do an emergency remodel on a bathroom. Fair. Right? Fair. Fair. Yeah. We've all experienced this. Yes, exactly. And I think with our projects, you know, we have different skills of projects. And some of them are a little more fancy. Some of them are not. But really, I think it really hit hard when we

saw this question come in. We're like, this is like how we would like, I don't know, discern our money and say like, this is worth spurging on. This is maybe something to hold. So anyway, I'm excited. It's going to be a good one. It is going to be a good one. Yeah, this question reminds me of a quote that you said is that we have designer taste on a designer budget.

So this is our... is going to be a good one. Yeah, this question reminds me of a quote that you said, is that we have

designer taste on a designer budget. So this is our, I was trying to figure that out. You're amongst

friends, everyone. Yeah. Yes, you definitely are. Well, really quick, I wanted to say there is still

time to get a gift from Alice Lane, if you want this holiday season. The postman gives us a date every year.

And he's saying December he, she, we don't know what they are. They are. They're telling us

December 16th is the cutoff from when they can guarantee delivery for all gifts in time for Christmas.

So if you celebrate Christmas and that's important to you, December 16th, so you still have time.

So make sure and check out alicelanehome.com.

So today's question came in from Lauren Zhao and she wrote in and said,
