Some Steampunkery for the Imaginarium

I've been wanting to do it, and we finally did it.

When I painted this one wall last winter, I had removed a light switch cover, and hadn't replaced it because I didn't want to put the plain, boring one back up. I wanted something special - something to take the first baby steps towards steampunking the Imaginarium. But I hadn't figured out what yet.

The other day we were wandering around in Home Despot, and I spied these little push button switches, and thought, "Ah-ha." After a little more poking and searching, Greg and I put together a scheme (I had the vision, he had the ingenuity to make it work on this one).

And then yesterday I came home from work to discover he'd already put it together. My steampunk light switch.


I like it. A lot.
