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.
There's a number of other pieces in this collection. We bought the black pharmacy lamps for our living room and love them. They add to the "scientific" vibe I'm slowly working toward.
ReplyDeleteThat stool is great (love the rivet detail on the legs) and would work really well as a plant stand, too.
