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.

Hearst Castle's Study
Been exhausted lately, but thought you might like this image I stumbled across, if you haven't seen it the many places it has been reblogged.
Nursery prep requires that we move out of the upstairs room, which requires that the master bedroom be done, which requires the wallpaper and vanity and lighting to be installed. The end is in sight, amazingly, but we're not there yet.
beautiful picture, I can't believe that after years of living in CA, I've never visited Hearst Castle - this inspires me to get off the sofa and drive up there! Thanks
Neat photo. I relate to the chaos of moving from one room to the other, it gets crazy. Is the master upstairs or down? Please give us a photo or two if you get time, even if it's not all "perfect" yet. They're so much fun to see!
How's the nursery coming along?
