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.

Bedroom Inspiration
Although I'm partial to full on red Victorian bedrooms, I thought these could have a place in a steampunk home as well.
Lynne -- I used a very similar wall color in my office. (Unfortuantely, I have a lot of black and dark furniture against it, so I don't think it works as well as it does in the picture above...)
Via Pom Pom At Home.
From Anthropologie. (but get rid of that lamp!)

I really like the wall color in the first pic and the dresser in the second.
