    I usually love the makeovers but this was a miss, room looks terrible and not really steampunk at all. Just dark and messy.
    I did love the cabinet though, that was great work.

    Not a fan of the rug and curtains, but the cabinet is crazy good! I had no idea spray paint could do that!

    I have to agree with most of the comments that the end result looks cheap and chaotic. The red curtain looks like renfair/christmas trappings on the cheap. The pink chair had possibility, but needed the upholstery completely redone for sanitary reasons. The stencil frame wasnt workibg either. If it had to be as cheap as possible, i would have left the floral paper up and painted the other walls dusty rose. Make the whole room more feminized tea room with steampunk elements. Like add a brass bird cage with a mechanical looking canary. Break up the pink walls with a rich light caramel velvet curtain on piping rod that sweeps the corner. The cabinet was cool though.

      @@Twintertainment Oh, I wish YT had private messages or a linked social site where I coould see your results! My house is a weird mix of mission style/boxy craftsman pine furniture ( family made and loved), a blend of early industrial/farming machinery/& steampunk elements in the lights and plumbing fixtures, and a bunch of Renfair fantasy and steampunky nerd decor. I've tried to tie it all together with keeping everything in pine wood tones (yellowish and darker amber) muted rust red, dusty blue and sage green, and bronze/copper/wrought iron finishes. HGTV used to have this show called Design on a Dime that had a segment called Freestyle where they tried to make a room come together out of a young' 20 yr old's ecclectic mix of hand-me-downs, dumpster finds, affordable items and their hobbies and interests. Sometimes it turned out so perfect in its funkyness.

      i agree a few trinkets doesn't make it steampunk i find most steampunk to be wooden rather than mettle plus fancy light bulbs hanging on black cords isn't either where's the pipes for the chandelier looks tacky and the black walls didn't work with red curtains

      @@lifeisfull242 Some people just see an aesthetic or theme and think the more iconicographic elements and themed colors the more the theme is communicated. Like someone putting skulls over everything and calling it goth. Anything that relies on a Victorian base (Steampunk, elegant goth, some dark achedemia) should take look at some of the historical manor house websites. There is plenty of inspo info online.

    This isn't steampunk, ROFL! Steampunk is brown, rust and copper, cogwheels and clock faces. Industrialism wrapped in lace and leather.
    This.. this is just dark and dirty. I've seen basements nicer than this garbage pile. And those tacky curtains OMG so bad!

    • @TheRaven-WingGaming
      @TheRaven-WingGaming 3 роки тому +4

      Exactly. I don't think any of them did ANY research at all about what Steampunk is. Legit not a single pipe in site, no false valves, barely any cogs or cog-work, no false plating, literally just dark and garbage looking.

  • @peteraschubert
    @peteraschubert 3 роки тому +4

    An artificial novelty, done for the camera. None of it real - Tara and helpers know nothing about Steampunk (despite their bathroom experience), everything is thin veneers, bought artifacts that have never been loved or used or even belong to any of them (all on loan from 'sponsors' or the studio's props department). Just to create a caricature of what steam punk actually is. Thank goodness it all gets undone and sent back to the lenders and the local landfill - bit of an embarrassment, really. But, hey, the point was to make some coin...

      Not even on a budget. Even on a budget, you could get some paints, some PVC Piping, some false pressure valves, wiring for custom lamps, bulbs, the whole 9-yards for far much cheaper than what they did. And it would have looked 10x better.
