Have you ever pictured yourself living in a beautiful, time-honored house? Looking up its mysterious past, wondering about people who lived there, imagining scenarios that took place right there in the living room?

I wanted to write a short article about an interior design trend that caught my eye in Pinterest. It is also an interior design feature that we used in a home design in the Pacific Heights neighborhood of San Francisco. This is the interior design trend and tendencía of integrated handles, but I als
After MUCH peer pressure (thank you, peers!) I've started a Pinterest account. If you haven't heard of it, Pinterest is a super-addictive photo-sharing platform that rips open the space-time-continuum and sucks away your entire afternoon. Trust me. It's dangerous. Anyhoo, of course I'm pinning mostly steampunk inspirational stuff, like this: Submitted by Julie N. via locksmith-r-us; By Franz von Stuck and found at Bremen City Hall, Germany. Now THAT is a door handle. And check out these funky cool "light installations" by Liquid Light: That's a chandelier. And here's a floor lamp: I'm sure they can't be as fragile as they look, but I'd still be terrified of even breathing on those crystal drops. Wow. John and I have been working hard on our Dragon*Con costumes this week, and I'll give you one guess what they are since I'm mentioning them in this post. Heh. Anyway, we've been consulting the mighty Google image search quite a bit for reference and inspirations like these: Found by Corinna H.; Victorian Picnic at the Clara Zetkin Park in Germany; photo by Regina Katzer. Hit that link to see over a hundred fun costume shots. Eye candy galore! And speaking of eye candy, I'd give a non-vital organ to look like this: (I did a triple-take before I realized that's a real girl and not a painting. Sooo pretty.) Or this: Both photos from SteampunkCouture, which you should go click around for lots more gorgeousness. (And if you're that skinny - well, I hate you - but also you can buy that last outfit for only $175!) And just LOOK how adorable this girl is: Found via Steampunk Girls, another good time waster, but I don't have the photographer's credit. Anyone know? [Edit: I'm a dolt. This one's *also* from Steampunk Couture. I should've known!] Also, that skirt makes me ridiculously happy. Ok, enough gawking at pretty steampunk girls. Now let's gawk at pretty steampunk jewelry! Love the art deco touch - and only $22 at Sandrandan. Dreeeeeamy. $51 at the always fabulous Bionic Unicorn. Ok, so this next one's more pirate than steampunk, but I love the enameled ship: Found by Carthey S.; by Karen Keith Designs I believe this was a one-of-a-kind that's been sold (curses), but click the link to see lots more. Who says steampunk has to be all gold and brass? $36 from Friston I discovered Friston's etsy store last week, and quickly discovered that I have needs I never realized before, guys. Jewelry needs. I...I think I'm in love. With a purple leather cuff bracelet: $47 from Friston Not to mention at least eight of his other pieces. I'm telling you: NEEDS. I have them. Oh, and finally - yes, I've seen the crazy steampunk apartment. I like the technicolor dirigible. So you can all stop e-mailing me the link. Please. Seen something fun and steamy?

I caught a bit of luck in that the POs (Previous Owners) did not remove the antique pine front door and replace it with a Big Box pre-hung door. Of course the door was layered in paint and the orig…

This bed would be fun, I think, but it might give new meaning to the term "creaky bed springs". It strikes me as giving a sort of a water be...

This lock belongs to one of the old houses around the La Fontaine area in Al Ras Ruman. Wouldn't it be cool if it was made of real gold? I would like to give my heartfelt thanks to the guy who invented the door. If it wasn't for him we'd all be using windows to get inside the house.
