What do you think?
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.

Are there demons coming out of that mirror? I have a policy against portals to Hell in my house. ;D
Love this!

I LOVE the mirrored wall with the amazing pharmacy-like cubicles! I can imagine my beakers and test tubes, mortar and pestle, and jars of herbs and teas there. I'm not a fan of mounted horns/heads--or demon portals in my home :) but maybe a magical unicorn horn. Sweet.
Eeeek! I would run screaming.
i love the backsplash !

My own small cottage does def. carry traces of the naturalist style, mixed in with fleamarket/summer cottage styles...
