Alice shops almost exclusively at flea markets, barn sales and antique shops. She says, "I don’t like to buy new items, especially for decorating my space. I’d rather reuse unique pieces that I happen to stumble across. The table that I do all my sewing on for ForestBound is actually an old door that my roommate and I found behind a building a few months ago – I just attached some old table stands that I found at a flea market and it become a sturdy work table! But when I’m looking for art to hang on the walls I always turn to Etsy or other similar sites..." Alice is inspired by "rustic, woodsy cabins and everything that goes with them – inside and out, but also by people who build their own homes from completely found materials, by the incredible work of J. Morgan Puett, and by beautiful homes that I come across via various websites such as The Selby (specifically the homes of Meryl Smith, Jean & Sam Buffa and Michelle & Tracy Mccormick)."
