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 Favor? Nominate me for the Homies
Every year, Apartment Therapy (the grandpappy of home design blogs) sponsors a contest for the best home design blog of the year. I'm wondering, if after almost four years of posting here, if I might have enough readers to be in the running.
Besides, wouldn't it be fun to show all those minimalist modernists how the other side lives?
Here's how to do it:
1) Follow this link.
2) Register to be able to comment on Apartment Therapy.
3) Comment on the above link with the following content:
Name: The Steampunk Home
URL: http://thesteampunkhome.blogspot.com
I need to be in the top 6 to make it to the next round, so the more people who add a comment, the higher the likelihood I make the actual voting.
Nominating runs until January 25th at midnight EST.
Thank you!
By all means, Madam! I will do my part to ensure all hands get the word!

Seriously, who nominates Casa Sugar? Ugh.
ReplyDeleteDone and done.
Done! Jumping through hoops to register was totally worth it :) (That sounds sarcastic, but really isn't.)
ReplyDeleteConsider yourself voted for. When I see I have an unread post of yours in my reader, my face just lights up.

ReplyDeleteAT seems to get a lot of grumpy commenters so i'm a bit nervous about my fav blogs being featured there, but i suppose it's probably that way on any equivalently large blog-site. ah, internet !
Just started reading this blog last week and it's easily made its way to one of my must reads! When I come home from a less than fabulous day at work and find a new post here, it makes my night; consider yourself nominated.
