The Steampunk Home

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.

White Webb

Ah, Habitually Chic, one of both my and Tangelia's favorites. My heart went pitter-patter at the sight of this feature of designers White & Webb. I'm not sure I've ever seen such classic, masculine rooms.

It just looks like a clock -- above this bar is actually a mirror within a clock frame.

Coffered ceiling, paisley, and a grand piano. Sigh.

I love the green velvet couch. I'm sure it commands attention in the room.
