The coolest storage bin, ever.
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.

For the Steampunklets
I can't believe I'm recommending one of those online sale sites that specializes in *kids* stuff to y'all, but if you have steampunklets of your own you know how hard it is to find things that appeal to both them and you. (We succeed with fossils and models, but the only steampunk thing in the elder steampunklets room is a iron bed...) Take a look at what Zulily has for sale from Design Legacy (for the next 24 hours or so only, and you need an account to see it, sorry!).
I love the pillow and tapestry.
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff...but you lost me at Y'ALL!
ReplyDeletenever mind the kids, i want it! ;) the pillow is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteThe pillow is fantastic!
ReplyDeletegreat stuff! speaking of steampunk and kids... I will send you some info soon about a t-shirt I was commissioned to design for the Martha's Vineyard Public Libraries summer reading promotion.
ReplyDeleteThey will be available this summer, so if you find yourself on the island, just make your way to one of any of the libraries and pick one up for you little steampunklet (and an adult size for yourself)!
