Dreaming of a Steampunk Home

Where to begin? My husband Fenn, and I, Evie, are two intrepid explorers seeking to create a steampunk home. Our vision of steampunk is form, function and beauty where technology works for us in elegant and wonderful ways. The steampunk ideal teased and flirted with us at a friend's wedding and our vision for the house of tomorrow is borrowed from the house of yesterday with the technology of today. We have been home shopping for months and finally we found a suitable starting point. This was no mean feat in the CA Bay Area even in a recession so here we are with a 1951 CA house, our canvas for our steampunk dreams.
