Beautiful Maps for Lord of the Rings Geeks

 

Have you ever wanted to live in Middle Earth? Well, maybe not Mordor, but in The Shire or Rivendell, perhaps? Clearly that's not going to happen, but you can create a little Middle Earth magic in your home. 

Geeky Plant Pots for Succulents & Air Plants

Spring has sprung and gardeners everywhere are devouring seed catalogues and dreaming of dirt. For those of us without the space or inclination to garden, a little succulent or pretty little air plant fits the bill just fine. They take minimal space on shelves, but can have a big impact in the right plant pot. And of course we're going to pick some pretty geeky planters. 

I found all of following planters on Etsy, and two things are important to note: 

• They are handmade by craftspeople and artisans
• They are not tacky and are perfect for industrial, eclectic, and modern decors

What Is Geekorating?

 

Is it an aesthetic? A style? A breaking of the rules? Remaking the rules? Quirky, fun, irreverent, cool?

Yes.

Geekorating is all of these things in any given combination. 

And, while a Star Trek themed home theater may be awesome, such recreations aren't what this blog is about.

It's about including geeky elements in your every day home decor, because geeks run the entire spectrum from convention-going cosplayers to people who just love sci-fi books or movies. And then there are the partners and families of geeks. They don't always appreciate what they see as excessive. 

In upcoming blog posts I'll be sharing ways to incorporate geek life into your interior decorating. Just because you have nice drapes or the perfect mid-century modern furniture, it doesn't mean you can't visibly and prominently share your geeky passions. You might be surprised at some of the things that are available. 

After all, geek is now chic.
