That sounds great! And Dieselpunk can be amazing, although a bit more modern considering we're still using the Diesel engine for several things :p

Some Steampunk decor is cool.


Indeed it is, and I prefer that to the stuffy shit I see some people doing.

Perhaps you are. Perhaps you aren't. This kind of post, however? It will most certainly not help your little predicament, if you understand what I mean.

Steampunk Star Wars is far better.


That's true, however several products follow the original steampunk style. It's hard to find much of Star Wars' envisioned steampunk stuff.

I have to say though, Cyberpunk is a style that I would also love to experiment in a house.

OK. I think I have my schedule figured out. I have 13, 16, or 17 credits this semester. It all depends on whether or not I pass Calc II and Linear.

I really want Stickley furniture in my future house, but it is crazy expensive. My dream car is a Duesenberg Model J, but since that will never actually happen I am aspiring to own a '32 Ford some day in the distant future.

It's very expensive indeed. But sturdy as heck, not to mention a lot of Stickley is very elegant. Simplistic style (which I like) but also very elegant.

Yea, the trick is that the interior doesn't clash with the exterior :lol:

I doubt a Victorian England's household look would look in any way, shape, or form normal in a house made like they do certain houses in Texas: low-rise and spread out. It would have to be a high-rise, high ceiling house with two or three floors and seemingly tiny on the outside.

I'm aspiring to live a life of a middle class married man in the future, with hand-me-down pretty much everything. :p I know I'll never be rich enough to afford anything spectacular, so I'm good with the things I know I'll have.
