Steampunk Cabinet
December 09, 2011
This is our cabinet. I have to say the girls told me it was not steampunk enough for them ;-) but I said I still wanted it to look like Christmasy !! Ended up with a combo of Santa's, a crown, Christmas candy, top hat, etc. I was soo thrilled when I found the red, green and cooper tartan wrapping paper. Such a small thing can make such a big difference.
I had to share my Christmas House find with you. I LOVE this Victorian pitcher. It is full of cracks but was also $12.00. A real find!!
What a find that pitcher is. Adore it!

Really nice! I love the tartan! You inspire me every time!
Can you tell us about Steam Punk a little more, please? I am soooo out of it! LOL

Dear Clarice, your cabinet is always so inspiring...how right you are that changing the backing does change the overall feel instantly. But please can you enlighten me; what is steampunk?
I am doing Tartan this year too; I have been collecting plaid picnic blankets which I have folded over my dining chairs, and I have a variety of mismatched old plaid lampshades and cushion covers. Now I am trying to decide whether to unpick an old tartan kilt and wash the wool to see if the pleats will come out- or if I can be frightfully clever and incorporate the pleats into the front of a cushion cover and the fringed edge to the opening at the back...hmmn. I shall use scraps to make napkin rings somehow too. First I have to dig my sewing machine out from under who knows what! ;) Love Gill xxx
