What is steampunk?
Wikipedia says "Steampunk involves a setting where steam power is still widely used—usually Victorian era Britain or "Wild West"-era United States—that incorporates elements of either science fiction or fantasy. Works of steampunk often feature anachronistic technology, or futuristic innovations as Victorians might have envisioned them, based on a Victorian perspective onfashion, culture, architectural style, art, etc. This technology includes such fictional machines as those found in the works of H. G. Wells and Jules Verne, or the contemporary authors Philip Pullman, Scott Westerfeld and China Mieville."
Its gutsy and creative: so many possibilities! What comes to mind immediately is Wild, Wild West and Firefly. I am a HUGE fan of Firefly and Serenity so to have this theme for a Tiny House seriously appeals to the sci-fi geek romantic in me. Imagine my surprise when I found this Steampunk caravan surfing the net. :) Click on the caption/link below the picture to find out more about this amazing engineering feat.

I doubt I will be able to have a steampunk themed tiny house, at least not on our first attempt.... *Hint Hint Vincent* But Serenity would be an ideal name for the tiny house. For those non-sci/fi people out there , SERENITY is the name of the spaceship in Firefly and the name of its DVD movie release.
Perhaps it is also what my husband and I are looking for: Serenity, the state of being calm - calmness - tranquility - peace - composure. I think every parent would like serenity behind the poise you need to keep for your family's sake.
As Wash said to the end in the movie Serenity: "I am the leaf on the wind, watch how I soar."
Only, I will have a better ending to my part in this story!
Cheers ears,
M-
Cool.
