Rebecca just sent me this link to some (more!) bathrooms decoupaged from Albertus Seba's Cabinet of Natural Curiosities.
Stone and his team prep the walls as if hanging wallpaper. They attach the pages with wallpaper paste and let them dry for a couple of days before applying a polyurethane coat, preferably in a matte finish.
from the Houston Chronicle: Papering walls with pages from the past
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.
