Furniture Suitable for Alice

A long long time ago, I posted some furniture that looked like it belonged in Alice in Wonderland, and now here is furniture that looks very much like it but with the price tags. Whew! This is some expensive furniture. Click the link but make sure you're sitting down first. Via

Furniture Down the Rabbit Hole

More Alice in Wonderland inspired decor. I don't think I've seen much furniture that says Alice in Wonderland quite as much as these by Aqua Creations.

 

  

  

  

  

  

 

I'm especially enamored of the "Tut Chair", which is the more conventional grey chair with the graceful animal-like legs.

There aren't any places near me to buy them. Maybe I will drown my sorrows in an English Garden Bombe Chest.

More Alice Home Decor

If you're looking to decorate your room in all Alice in Wonderland gear, it's pretty hard to go wrong with this surprisingly complete collection of switch and outlet wall plates. Shown are Alice herself and the White Rabbit in a Disney-like forest scene. It's almost obsessive. You'll see what I mean when you get to the bottom.

The Single Switch Plate

The 2 Plug Outlet Wall Plate

The 4 Plug Outlet Wall Plate

The Combo Swtich Outlet Wall Plate

The Rocker Switch Plate

The Double Toggle Switch Plate

If Double is Not Enough You May Ask For Triple!

Alice's Furniture and Manga

 

 

I stumbled across this page that has photos of a house from the Big Brother TV show that was decorated with an Alice in Wonderland theme. Looks like they were big into checkerboard patterns, paper lanterns and Bombe Furniture.

Here is a review for Alice 19th by Yu Watase, which is part of a series of Japanese manga comics which are Alice in Wonderland inspired. They appear to be aimed at girl otaku. Looks like you can get these books on Amazon. Check out Alice 19th.

Alice Decor: Cool Alice Clock!

This Alice in Wonderland clock is so cool, I'm devoting an entire post to it, and only it. There will be tea cakes served after. Please move two seats to the left, or right, depending.

The cards whirl around as the time changes. Besides all that, it has a SNOOZE BUTTON. How can one go wrong?

With Alice it Happens that Thursday is Friday

Slim pickings today. I do have to complain to you, dear reader, that I've never followed the news on something as singular as one movie, and as such I've never been treated to so much regurgitated pap dressed up as news. If I see one more person mix up, comment on, and present as new this interview with Tim Burton, I'm going to vomit.

On the plus side, we have more photos and cast listing of the SyFy channel's coming Alice TV show.

I discovered a blogger with an amazing vintage Alice in Wonderland collection and another home decor place with that Alice vibe. Click here for an only-mildly-amusing Alice in Wonderland Dress Up set.

This has nothing at all to do with Alice. WAT?

Alice News - Curiouser and Curiouser

Actually, there isn't much curious here. Just more news about Alice in Wonderland.

First up an interview with director Tim Burton. He was asked if he had read the book and at what age. (Are there people who direct movies WITHOUT reading the book???) Burton's answer:

Oh yeah, when I was maybe eight, ten or whatever. I had a weird connection because I bought the house. I don’t know if you know the illustrator, Arthur Rackem. I live and work out of his studio. In 1905, he did some amazing versions of Alice in Wonderland, Sleepy Hollow, things that I’ve been involved with, so I felt there was a weird connection to me — the material, and life. It always helps somehow.

I found this very interesting. I love the Arthur Rackham illustrations for Alice in Wonderland.

Next up Anne Hathaway is in a list of top contenders to be America's next sweetheart.

Last, and this isn't exactly news, but a company named Dust Furniture is selling furniture that looks like it would be at home through the looking glass. Here are some examples, below. They also have an Etsy store!
