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.
At the ripe old age of...40ish...I discovered steampunk the other day. Maybe I finally found something that "fits" me. I adore history, have always been fascinated with both medieval times and the Victorian age, the Industrial Revolution, and I ADORE heavy machinery, steam traction engines, gadgets in general, and the idea of juxtapositioning all of these things with modern ideas and tech.
Can you imagine stumbling into the bathroom in the middle of the night, flipping on the lights, half-blinding yourself, forgetting about your new shower curtain, and looking up to see THAT? I still love it, though.

Too bad that shower curtain is so pricey, I'm in love with it! Guess I'm gonna have to paint my own!
