I believe that Steampunk is more than just brass and watchparts. It's finding a way to combine the past and the future in an aesthetic pleasing yet still punkish way. It's living a life that looks old-fashioned, yet speaks to the future. It's taking the detritus of our modern technological society and remaking it into useful things. Join me as I search for items for my house that combine the scientific romanticism of the Victorians with our real present and imagined future.

Inspiration: Wall Effect in Firefly
The hull wall in the background of this picture would make for a great effect in a small room like a bathroom. I'm not sure how you would get it, however. Anyone out there have any ideas?
You would draw out a grid, then paint it blue, and then paint several translucent coats over it of varying blues, browns, etc while randomly alternating painting in a full line or a square.
