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.

Cabinet of Wonders: The Places We Make For Ourselves
Heather, over at Cabinet of Wonders, has a splendid post entitled "The Places We Make For Ourselves". Not particularly steampunk, but a wonderful catalog of the sorts of abodes you can create with a little imagination and a incredible amount of persistence.
