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.

Brass Lamp at Target
Victoria Hagan® Richmond Lamp
I saw this brass lamp at Target and liked how the lines were reminiscent of a telescope or brass wheel-lock for a safe. I'd probably change the lampshade to something a bit more Victorian, however.
$52 isn't a steal, but it is a fair price.
