Welcome to Dear Alice, a lifestyle approach to interior design.

Hello everyone, welcome to Dear Alice. Today we're going to be talking about stairs. We have a listener question. Yeah. Which really lit us up and we said we've got so much to talk about and show.

So if you guys are, if you can tune in to watch,

we're going to be showing you the anatomy of the stairs, lots of examples, lots of examples of

our work, and some other examples of things that we hope to try in the future. So I think this is

going to be a visual feast. It is. And I think it's like it's the personality flavor. You know, like you can do

a lot more with stairs than I think people realize or give themselves credit to express. Because your

like plane to plane and walk by and like, I don't know, it does a ton. So yeah, I'm really excited for today. I also feel like

stairs are a real signature element of the homes we work on. We break our brains over custom

newel posts, custom balustrades, really making a fashion statement because the stairs are usually

a central location or at least central to the entry and they

are a moment and so we'll usually really break our brains over a custom floor tile installation

and custom stair balustrade situation it's a memory point it is do you remember holiday yes

and everyone's just like okay we'll talk about the holiday.

Small is like most humble English cottage, but the Stripe Runner gave back that much that we all talk about.

And speaking of Striped Runner, at the very end of the podcast, Suzanne,

threw in a few little favorite resources for Striped Runners at the end
