I thought this space, The One Shot Coffee Shop in Philly (found via a post on Apartment Therapy), was beautiful.
 |
| Reclaimed wood and tin tiles. |
 |
| The menu changes daily. So does the kraft paper roll. I love this idea — wonder where you could use it in a house? |
 |
| The “card catalog” style drawers are for tea. |
Check out the entire post on AT, including closeups of the awesome tea drawer labels.

Kelmit pointed out this roundup over at Apartment Therapy — I like the idea of the linen shower curtain and the succulents in tea tins!

I found this great shelf over at Apartment Therapy. The rest of the space is too modern to be steampunk, but I thought the pipes as shelf supports were a clever idea. There’s also a modular shelving unit made out of piping and wood shelves.

Every year, Apartment Therapy (the grandpappy of home design blogs) sponsors a contest for the best home design blog of the year. I’m wondering, if after almost four years of posting here, if I might have enough readers to be in the running.
Besides, wouldn’t it be fun to show all those minimalist modernists how the other side lives?
Here’s how to do it:
1) Follow this link.
2) Register to be able to comment on Apartment Therapy.
3) Comment on the above link with the following content:
Name: The Steampunk Home
URL: http://thesteampunkhome.blogspot.com
I need to be in the top 6 to make it to the next round, so the more people who add a comment, the higher the likelihood I make the actual voting.
Nominating runs until January 25th at midnight EST.
Thank you!

Blend Studios is a “creative collective” in Milwaukee, Wisconsin specializing in 2D, 3D, and sound media. I suspect they should also consider interior design gigs — their offices are unique and very personalized.
The office that has the most steampunk vibe is Nick’s — largely due to the mix of industrial salvage and antique wood used by his brother Jordan to make the desk and shelving.
Design notes:
(One of the challenges I’m finding to using a lot of harder materials like metal and stone is keeping it soft enough to be comfortable. Office space perhaps doesn’t have to be as comfortable as a home, but I like how they use fabric drapes, upholstered furniture, throws, and wallpapers to soften the feel.)
