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.

Meneghini Macro Fridges
To go with your Maggi Massimo cabinet, try a Meneghini refrigerator.
It's louvred doors and portholes would fit in quite nicely, don't you think? It's actually more than a fridge -- the cabinet can fit an oven and coffee maker in addition to the freezer, fridge, and ice maker. (Those porthole doors hinge up to reveal your appliances!)

While I do like them. I like the non-porthole version more just because I already have a porthole in the bath room.
ReplyDeleteAdding trim and flooring with brass screws has my home looking a bit nautical already. I'm starting to be concerned of crossing over from steampunk to being just nautical which I didn't really want.
I've been surprised how the nautical look has crept into my project without my consent. Perhaps it's just because I don't have furniture in the house yet.
fun!
