I'm loving how the Steampunk movement is reemerging in my scope of consciousness right now, popping up in such places as issue 17 of Make Magazine, 'Lost Knowledge' and episode 3 of G4 Underground, 'Urban Spelunking and Steampunk'. Feeling inspired, and with the gears in motion for buying our first house, I'm daydreaming about creating a Steampunk influenced library in our new place. We already have a few pieces for the space: several world maps that we acquired on our honeymoon, my newly reupholstered armchair,
Dan's antique cupboard,
a replica classic globe, and lots and lots of books.
I only wish we had more musty, leather bound tomes.

Some things we're missing are appropriate bookshelves...
some art...
and maybe a phonograph. Who doesn't need a phonograph?
I've found more inspiration at The Steampunk Home, Brass Goggles, The Steampunk Workshop,
and searches on Etsy and Flickr.

That phonograph is the best thing ever!
