Favorite Shop: Sundance Catalog

There are a handful of websites, catalogs, and stores that I like to browse for steampunk home items. One of the best is The Sundance Catalog, Robert Redford's lifestyle catalog.

I like this description of the catalog by Redford:
"To us, Sundance is and always will be a dream. What you see, smell, taste and feel here is a dream being carefully nurtured. "

The inventory turns over within a year, so you'll find things mentioned in the Kaboodle list that aren't available anymore, but they replenish it with plenty of wonderful new things. Here's a sampling of what's currently available.

Foundry Linen Cabinet

Eureka Lamp

Steamer Trunk End Table

Model B Table Lamp

Genesis Pendant Lamp

Etsy Find: Anatomical Skull Pillow

Looking for Tammy's pillows on Etsy, I did run across this great pillow with an 18th century anatomical skull print on it.

The bad news is you can't buy it because *I* did. The good news is that Crows Cloth has a similar pillow available and would also take custom requests.

Tammy's Living Room

Tammy was so kind to share some pics of her not-just-steampunk but The Steampunk Home inspired living room.

I ended up getting the coffee table from Sundance based on your kaboodle list. We're sort of going for steampunk in a temp. rental so we haven't painted the walls. I got the skull pillows from etsy, they are burlap and really comfortable. Had the rug and the pictures on the wall are framed vintage Tango sheet music covers from Buenos Aires. The lamp is another Sundance purchase, although I sort of wish that we had look for a 'real' antique. Couch is Restoration Hardware.

Good job, Tammy! I love the bits of red in the rug and the couch. The whole room has a bit of an airship pirate vibe to it -- the skull and crossbones pillows, the striped pillow, the steamer trunk (but in metal, nothing too old fashioned for airships, y'know), and the spotlight for highlighting whatever-it-is-you-chase as an airship pirate.

How to Plan an Interior Design

Trends in our busy society have caused a 15% increase in working time and a 33% decrease in leisure time; so with less available time at home, So sometimes we feel confuse and difficult to generate a good ideas in designing a good interior. By conducting a good planning, we can reduce the cost and the time.

Here are several step in planning an interior design:

Organize Your Home or Office:

Whether it be one room or the whole house, we should create a comfortable space without throwing away all your treasures. The key is proportion, storage, arrangement and placement for getting your home in order and keeping things clutter free. In organizing an office, whether at home or in the corporate world, we should optimize the productivity by arranging the space and creating that custom system that will work for you. On this step, we can consult with a home decorator.

Renew a Room:

Renewing is often the way to just refresh what you have. This step is the most effective to reduce the cost of home decorating. Although we can buy another new furniture and surroundings, we can also remix the treasures that we like and make a room feel new. Whether painting, accessorizing, recovering, or choosing furniture from other rooms, renewing a room is an inexpensive way to create that updated look you are seeking in your home.

Design, Color and Accessories:

Discovering our style is always interesting, but we have an internal style whether we realize it or not. Like a professional decorators, we can bring out our inner style by color selection, accessory placement and furniture layout. We can also ask to a home designer to make our home comfortable while being stylish and as exciting as we like. Choosing the right window coverings, proportions for furniture and displaying our accessories can really make the energy in the home amazing for our lifestyle.

Best Interior Designing by Combining with Feng Shui

Feng Shui translated means "wind and water" and refers to the energy patterns that flow in your living spaces.This Chinese philosophy is a design trend that uses good space planning, and elements of nature to enhance the positive energy in your environment.

Feng Shui is based on an interpretation of the natural world which enabled the Chinese to create efficient agricultural systems, and also the study of the movement of heavenly bodies in order to determine the passage of time. Over the centuries, the interpretation grew more complex and became removed from its original purpose. As its exponents spread out from China across the world, their beliefs altered to fit into local beliefs and customs and, inevitably, folklore and superstition grew up around them.

Fortunately, the ancient Chinese preserved the information in written form. In essence, most societies express or interpret in some way the knowledge contained in Feng Shui, but it has become absorbed into different disciplines. In China it underlies all aspects of life, from nutrition and medicine to exercise and the arts.

2009 Bathroom Style Trend With Minimalist and Smart Features

Modern and smart bathroom is a favorite bathroom ideas, but it be better if all of this bathroom use a minialistic style, so, I predict that it will be the trend of 2009 bathroom ideas.

Expect to see more architectural fittings as bathroom designs lean towards a minimalist geometry. It’s not just wash basins and shower cubicles that will be squarish—taps and mixers like Grohe Allure line, with an interesting flattened rectangular design and Toto’s Axiom EcoPower Senor Faucet, which has a bold, square profile.

Design authority Red Dot picked out a clear colour palette for bathrooms in their latest trend report on bathroom design: white, black and green. Green brings a fresh playfulness to the ever-stylish black-and-white mix, as seen in Alessi’s new bathroom designs.

Leading the trend for high-tech bathrooms is Toto’s Neorest smart toilet with integrated washlet. It has sensors that will automatically activate the opening and closing of the toilet lid, as well as flushing, a wireless remote controlled seat heater, washing features and air deodorizer.
