LMH's Steampunk Nook
A nook is a good place to start with your steampunk decor, as LMH demonstrates.
The nook demonstrates a number of the "tenents" of steampunk decor (I didn't know we had tenets, did you?) The "used future" -- or perhaps in the case, the used past -- in an antique typewriter (found at a garage sale, natch) and antique vanity (from her parent's garage, even better!); the DIY value in refinishing said vanity and the print out of the Victorian era world map stuck in the frame. (This one came from the David Rumsey map collection.)
The magnifying glass "helping hand" is magnifying a pocket watch. You can find a similar device here. The working brass telescope was a Walmart find!
I like how this collection tells a story -- you can picture an explorer -- perhaps a wandering naturalist -- plotting his or her next adventure at this desk, consulting books, examine "treasures" collected on a previous journey, and typing up their memoirs.

A Retro Bathroom from matixbathroom
A modern bathroom not usually use an elegant material and design, but the important thing is the form and the shape of it's component. On this bathroom, we can see the choice of bathroom and it's accessories just use a simple design, but with smart placing each component we can make the room more comfortable. This bathroom used a totally modern suite with a funky sixties twist, Retro marries form and function with ease. The chunky silhouettes are a definite design blast from the past brought right up to date for a fresh new bathroom. Complementing furniture and accessories complete the Retro look.
