I love French. I love Country. I love French Country. My husband has been incredibly patient with me as I outfit our living room in bergere chairs, Anthropologie rugs and turned leg tables, and I've finally figured out how to reward him...go industrial!Lately, Vintage Industrial and Steampunk have really caught my eye. I've already got a couple of vintage telephones, a vintage type writer and old cigar boxes but want to go "masculine" in a way that's cool for both of us.
There's no shortage of wood in our living room so I want to look at ways to bring in metals. I don't have any side tables so perhaps that's an opportunity? I'm also looking at adding SteamPunk decor elements that are great to look at and even more fun to play with when nobody is looking. Any ideas??? On a budget???
Here's a really cool Steampunk home posted on http://www.steampunkworkshop.com/.

Nice, I've always liked the look of Steampunk but didn't have a name for the aesthetic until fairly recently! I also like what I call the 'gentleman scientist' look that's similar to Steampunk but incorporates botany & bird prints, old medicine bottles, anatomy charts and natural elements like fossils and shells.
Oooh I love Steampunk now! I must admit this scene would fit my little humble home better than french. Thanks for the website too!
Just found your blog. LOVE Steampunk! I am trying to incorporate more of that in to my home decor as well. Good luck!
So much fun, love me some steampunk! Just found your fabulous blog, thanks so much for listing mine!
