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.

A black and gold kitchen
I had torn this kitchen out of Elle Decor a few years back -- it seems to be from September 2008(!) -- because I was going through a "paint the kitchen cabinets black" phase. I like how the cabinets are glossy black, with gold molding. I was surprised at how well mixing the gold and stainless steel worked, too. The pink backsplash (Benjamin Moore Pink Mix) was surprisingly but warms up a room that could otherwise be cold and stark.
Just wanted to let you know how much I love your blog.
ReplyDeleteHaving recently purchased a Victorian home I'm working hard on taking it from the previous owners love of floral into something a little more steam punk.
Thanks for the inspiration!
I really like the black with the stainless! The pink, not so much. Thanks for the post.
ReplyDeletePink and black, all you need is a poodle skirt. I like the black and stainless, but neither the pink nor the gold trim make it for me. I finally did my 1st prototype Mad Scienctist Lamp this week. Thanks for the inspiration.
