I couldn't see anything steampunk there, mostly ultramodern or ancient. Did I miss something? Oh have some imagination. Its up to the reader to fill in the gaps with their own form of steampunk interior and workings. Personally I would go for a castle with industrial refurb. |

The zebra striped bathtub is a little over the top. You are just jealous of my jungle dream home!! Do tell us what type of bathing facility you would have in your Floating Gin Palace . Traditional floating casino.  The official answer is whatever bathtub my lovely wife wants. Possibly copper since they are lighter than cast iron claw-footed tubs and are supposed to keep water cleaner and hotter longer.  I would prefer a very modern multi-head steam sauna shower with TV, tanning lamps, stereo, and speaker phone like these: http://www.aliexpress.com/popular/steam-shower-with-tv.html Exactly why do bathtubs not come with built in heaters standard?  |

Or you and your good wife could compromise. I have searched high a low for an image on google over the years. It is a art nouveau copper shower enclosure / canopy shower in bronze or copper worked in a design of large scales or scallops. It featured in the original Alfie movie and in a British crime boss movie in the 90's with Malcom Mc Dowel. A bigger , flasher beaten copper version of this type of thing  |

I think for any house, and such might be applicable to other various things such as airships and other large transports, would be the inclusion of dumb-waiters but just not those as being typically recognized.
The truly well-appointed residence would have several sorts of dumb-waiters found there and abouts the residence, such being of different sizes and locations for individual tasks and purposes.
Clever might be such configured to outwardly appear as a armoire but have the 'hidden' feature of support by way of a 'local' dumb-waiter to change out the wardrobe's contents, be that seasonal clothing or trays of refreshments and hors d'oeuvres.
One might even have a small-scaled elevator disguised behind a wall panel to whisk servants between floors or give the home-owner a low-profile means to slip away from guests to a more comfortable setting.

Just finished going back over some of the more recent images and, as to the tree house, there is a wonderful show on TV called Treehouse Masters. I hope that it is available wherever you may live. I'm constantly amazed at the never ending variety of designs Pete Nelson comes up with. I just wish I had the kind of money that one of them would cost.

 http://www.alaskalandandcabins.com/tree-house-living-in-the-preserve-at-sheep-creek/Some folks here have been able to afford incredible houses by working for lumber yards that give them employee discounts. I have heard that one chain, Lowes, allows employees to use part of their retirement contributions to buy building materials. Sometimes there are creative solutions. |

Ah, if I could only live in an airship. As for a classic Victorian home, I'd probably go for something like this:  |

I heard Dracula's castle is up for sale, though. Too rich for me. :[ At any rate, my second would be a victorian manor house and third would be a prehistoric cave or a train. |
