A couple's (and toddler) quest to create a steampunk house. To us steampunk is not just gears and brass. It is form, function and beauty where technology works for us. You are welcome to join our journey to create steampunk home decor, home improvement and our inner Jules Verne.

The Bonus room
This is probably the biggest challenge in the house. This is an enclosed and finished patio that the previous owners had set up as a living room. They also had a lot of collectables and the glass shelves were lovingly hand built by the original home owner to display a set of 1960s fancy liqueur bottles, the LARGE ones in all kinds of strange shapes. Unfortunately while well designed the shelves are not good for much other display purpose. We want to use it as a living room and rec room with a Steampunk style explorer's club theme to it. Fenn is a geologist so we have literally shelves of rocks and other specimens to display and are inspired by many of the naturalists posts on MySteampunkHouse blog. However we are also avid dancers and have a ballroom dance floor to squeeze in this room as well. So we are looking to liven up the old wall heater, take down the mirrors, sand and paint the walls and see where that gets us.
