Setting the coffee table on a wood pallet is a neat trick -- I love the interplay of materials: wood, stone, leather.

For my specific picks, I've put together another Kaboodle list:

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.

Gorgeous finds! I like the pallet trick too. Maybe I should try this to add some depth/layers to my room.
Im going to have to go check them out. Great post. I drool over those pendant lights in the kitchen.
You people must live where there are no spiders or other small nest builders. You must also not have dust.
I love the look but in a months time it would be nothing but webs of every design and covered in a layer of dust.
Even in a closed air conditioned environment it would take a full time cleaning bot.
By the way, the dust I have here only comes off a rough surface like pallets with a presure washer.
I seriously covet those trolley lights, I have been drooling since I got my catalog in the mail!
RestoH. has outdone themselves this year, I've never found so many likeable pieces! In the photo with the trophy heads/horns, I noticed all the books are turned with spines away, showing just the cream pages and keeping the neutral palette. I didn't like the idea when you wrote about it earlier, but in this photo I get it. Thanks for a lovely post!
They've arrived? I requested a catalog months ago. I'll get a spear and prod them.
Oldfool - Good idea, if the cleaning bot has a lot of brass and can clean itself.
Definitely a pain in the arse to clean.. looks great but holy spider hell.
Just got my catalogue!
Wow thanks for sharing!
