The Mad Scientist Decorates Inside Man

Sure, he may be performing all manner of uncouth experiments before school gets back in session, but even a Mad Scientist can exhibit a mean sense of style. Here's are all the resources you need to add a dose of laboratory chic to your own ~~asylum~~ space.

Really liking that color contrast in pic one.

#5 Must. Have. Now.

Just last week I bought a dresser for the living room (I had *no* storage) and the top is now my naturalist's/science table with a few appropriate ceramics worked in. The entire apt. would look like a laboratory if I had my way.

I love the Mad Scientist decorating style, especially that with a naturalist bent, like Michelle's and Dylan's Curiosity Filled Apartment. I find it evocative of early childhood discoveries when we were all mad scientists and engineers building dams in the stream.

This is so totally my style, and I am so totally a girl. I even wrote Frank Buchwald a mash letter. Being a polite gentleman, he responded, sans mash.

My best friend and I formed a mad scientists club when we were 9, and I am a big fan to this day. Though I confess that nowadays I'm more into the mad scientist look than the lifestyle. LOVE.

That lighting has my tail wagging something fierce!

I would love to have a survey equipment like #9. For now my mad scientist deco is #10 with non-vintage apothecary jars but without the labels, which made my roommates nervous of its contents until I proved they were safe by dabbing the sour salt (citric acid) to my tongue.
