Where did our quest begin? Oddly enough it began in Disneyland in the new house of tomorrow now called the "Innovention House". This is to me the steampunk dream house. This ideal home is a fantastic mixture of arts and crafts style decor and wood accents with huge flat screen displays as changing artwork in each room. This home has beautiful technology in every room including automatic computer controlled window coverings, fireplace, stereo, model train (naturally, it IS Disneyland) and even an ASIMO home helper robot. It would take a Disney budget to make this home a reality for us working folks but the concepts are fantastic and got us started dreaming. Here is the link of you want to see the official webpage but be warned this is a big and rather slow flash site. http://dreamhome.disney.go.com/media/ap/dreamhome/index.html
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.
