Steam Punk Style
I was at an antique tractor show this weekend and was checking out some of the vendor areas. I'm always drawn to old implements and vintage tools. Weathered, worn and rusty patina items always grab my attention. After reading an article about Steam-punk design, I have been on a mission to employ some of its character into my home. In many ways I already do this but I especially wanted some type of cog or sprocket element, typical of the style. An old fly-wheel for $10.00 was my purchase. It is my pseudo-Restoration Hardware decor item.

ReplyDeleteVery cool find!
ReplyDeleteGreat way to introduce some industrial pieces into your home. Love this type of thing and as a jewelry designer, when I saw your piece immediately my mind was racing as to what a great base this would make for a jewelry display. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.
