e house is filled with personal
choices and personal touches. Lots of
things came from "junk" shops and
oeat sources, including the antique
fans, the vintage tabletop wood-and-
peg pinball game in her den, and
the lighting fixtures made of wires
and pipes that convey the industrial
aesthetic known as steampunk.
"I can't pass a junk shop without
going in," Quismundo said with a
laugh.
Some things are in unusual places
that nonetheless seem perfect in this
house, like the turntable in a small
suitcase in the kitchen – it gets plenty
of use – and the hammer head that
hangs upside down over the kitchen
sink, acting as a hook for an enclosed
glass planter. Nearby, a (fake) white
mouse that was a gi sits on a wine
bottle mounted on the wall.
Her 13-year-old son, who loves
science, science fiction and video
games, has a bedroom befitting his
interests. One wall is covered by a huge
poster of an astronaut walking on the
moon. While the Death Star he made
is in the dining room, other Star Wars
items are neatly displayed on shelves.
A map of the United States is attached
to one wall and bedecked with pins
showing places that he has traveled
with his mom.
Out back, the deck contains
umbrella-topped tables, comfortable
chairs and arty odds and ends.
Quismundo sometimes works out there
on her computer, accompanied by her
black Labrador, Iris. At night, the deck
is festively lit with fairy lights.
Quismundo said the house is a work
in progress, with projects getting done
as she has time and money and as new
ideas strike her.
"If something doesn't work," she
said, "I just change it again."
