Restoration Hardware

Do you have a penchance for stuff that looks steampunk or all "Dr. Livingstone, I presume" turn of the previous century?  Oh, and do you happen to be loaded?  You know, like "money is no object"?  I know, you were on-board up til that last part.  Well, you might like to dream, anyway.

The lovely Mrs. and I were doing some pipedream window shopping amongst the fancy folk yesterday when we stuck our heads in a Restoration Hardware store.  If you are not familiar, this is no ordinary hardware store.  Very upscale do-dads.  Anyway, looking around at this years selections I was struck by how much stuff seemed rather steampunk or at least 1910 Amundsen or the like.  Take a look.

And there is plenty more.  Oh, if I won the lottery!  Fun stuff to dream about and play with if you are lucky enough to have one of these stores near you.  And if you truly have so much money that you just don't know what to do with (Mr. Gates.....) feel free to use these items as inspiration to decorate my house!
