Great blog list but I must admit I am partial.

Sara Brumfield of the 'Steampunk Home' has virtually defined a burgeoning genre. Go back to her archives to 2007 and you'll see how Sara had brilliantly curated this new style from scratch. There were no signposts or guidlines at the time and the scope of her finds literally established the visual vocabulary of Steampunk.

The Steampunk Home is truly an original in every sense of the word.

Hi, All & AT,

Simple pin up wall lamps are extremely convenient for all the reasons mentioned.

Being a lamp designer, I have been offering all of my wall lamps as pin up alternatives. A simple OOK picture hook is all that's needed to install them.

I had the distinct pleasure of designing the interior of an historic F.C.C.S. Church here in Southampton Village. The congregation and trustees were some of the nicest and most design-savy I had had ever experienced.

The unusual (and quite difficult) thing about the design was that there are no "typical" religious icons or symbols used in the F.C.C.S. Church. No stained glass. No statues of saints. No Altar. No Crucifixes nor candles- None of the typical embellishments that you would normally use in a liturgical design. Apparently, this is how they do it.

Oddly enough, there is a great sense of spirituality within the congregation and I was most impressed by the genuine quality of their Faith.

I think it's beautifully rendered.

Unique, intriguing and so very different from the current
"De Riguer" tyranny of Mid-Century Modern design.

Rerfreshing, indeed!

Thanks so much for the post.

To answer Dug...

The new dimmers actually do save energy.

The old dimmers, that are not in use anymore, were "rheostats" and used the same amount of electricity regardless of how much you dimmed the bulb.
