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.

You can add another $140 for carbon filament bulbs!
In their defense, the carbon filament bulbs come with it -- so it makes the whole shebang reasonably well priced.
Even though I'm a big fan of transparant lightbulbs, I don't see this as steampunk at all........
