A collection of ideas for steampunk home decorating done the Arts and Crafts way. Or Arts and Crafts done steampunk - whichever you prefer. Craftsman style, Prairie, Mission - whatever your favorite subset of the A&C movement, it'll show up sometime here as I love them all.
Why this blog?
My husband and I are just starting the house buying process which will mean that we can FINALLY, after years of rentals, decorate as we wish. In that spirit, I've begun collecting ideas and inspirations for my own use and thought that, maybe, there might be someone out there who likes the same thing.
I love the eccentricities and the analogue mechanics of the steampunk world but I just don't like standard victorian decor. So it was a wonderful moment when I realized that my beloved Arts and Crafts style actually got it's start back during the victorian era and would have been quite familiar to Jules Verne and H.G. Wells. So with that I've taken to try and marry the two styles, creating my own mix of Arts and Crafts and Steampunk design.
I was looking through the Rejuvenation website and all it's lovely period lights and fixtures and found this little gem of an oddity -
It's a bat light! And it's actually a replica of one made over a hundred years ago. What fun people those must have been! I know it's not my normal style but I so want one of these lights.
