Star Wars Kitchen

I had totally forgotten that I had this blog, since no one ever actually read it. I've been wanting to post some pictures of different projects online, so this seems like a good place to put them all. Maybe my ramblings could help someone, maybe it'll never be read, but I can't help anyone if I don't put it out there. 

We moved into this house a year and a half ago, and the first room I decided to theme out was our kitchen. I had several Star Wars kitchen items already which is where the idea for a Star Wars kitchen came from in the first place. Star Wars is close to our hearts, though, because I met my husband at the midnight showing of Star Wars Episode 3. We continued to talk to each other because of a friend's fan film he had us both work on. Star Wars felt fitting after all that history. 

Our blank slate kitchen was very basic, very generic and bland. Unfortunately, we are renting so any changes needed to be removable so no changing major things like redoing the backsplash, or painting cabinets or anything like that. 

I started with general kitchen things- soap dispensers, hand towels, decorations, hot pads. A lot of these kinds of things were easily accessible on Amazon or Ebay, but some things didn't exist, so I had to make them. 

Decorations were simple, Grogu figurines, lightsabers, even robotic droids from Galaxy's Edge from our trip to Disney World. 
I got some fun instant pot wraps to add some fun for those.

The other things were the fun part though... I used my embroidery machine to add some Star Wars kick to my blank washcloths... and my sewing machine to make some reusable washcloths that snap together.


Next up, I wanted some more hotpads, but I couldn't find any that fit my specific idea in my brain... So I made them. I also made a table pad for putting hot pans and cookie sheets onto. Fabulous.

Next up, my bench was hard and my chairs were ugly, so I gave them a facelift and fresh cushion... I got the fabric from Michael's, sprayed the chairs with gray spray paint and added some fun details on the sides. 

And of course I couldn't have fun chairs with a super basic table.. This was given to us by a close friend, but it needed refinishing. So I added some fun... Laser engraver, paint and more fun matching details. 


Next up, I took a cutting board and made a conversion chart. I found it worked great for behind my stove as a decorative but also useful backdrop. 


The next projects I started working on, required my 3d printer.... Soap Dispensers! They turned out so cute... I also made lightsaber drawer pulls. I love 3d printing. 


I put some some vinyl on some basic kitchen stuff- toaster, kitchenaid mixer, flour jars...


More 3d Printing projects- mixing spoon bowls. Or helmets. Mando needed some representation too! Soap wand container!


My last project for the time being, is a little deathstar globe. I will be adding more projects I'm sure. I have some fun ideas for a knife block and maybe even a light fixture or two... Until then, enjoy the journey that is my Star Wars kitchen.

 A post on how to add lights to your marvel united characters!  First Up: supplies You will need the following:  Tiny LED lights https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07P8PMCCS?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share Battery Holders https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08SQJJJNK?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share Batteries  (you can use different batteries, they need to be 3v and others might not fit into the battery holder linked so if you choose to go with different batteries, make sure you find a battery holder that will fit that battery!)  https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00L4EEQCY?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share On/off buttons https://www.amazon.com/dp/B086L2GPGX?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share Extra wire to connect the button with the battery holder. I used the little extra wires that came with the lights. I clipped the wire on either side of the plastic thingy (yes very technical haha) and used those wires. You will also need a drill to make holes to fit the lights into the figures, super glue to hold them in place, and...

Bathroom

Ah the 3 day weekend of painting/ kitchen redo. While Hubby's uncle worked on the kitchen, the rest of us tackled the rest of the upstairs in paint. This post's project? The bathroom. Aren't those gold butterflies amazing?  Painting a pretty green tea color (and covering the butterflies) Ah look... Living in the chaos... Frogs in the bathroom :) Decorations on the wall. Those sconces were 1.50 each at a thrift store, and the picture frames my Mother-in-law gave me years ago and just never had a space for them. They look amazing in the bathroom, I have to say! Now time for some new lighting... before... Blah Hubby's uncle apparently had some older light fixtures from other people's houses. A bit of spray paint, and they have new life (I also sprayed some other metallic pieces from the bathroom to bring it all together) Finished product soon to come...

The Game Den AKA Front Room

Image
 My next project took a long time to decide what I wanted to do. I honestly had it stuck in my head that I had to have this normal front for the world to see, that my interests and things that bring me joy had to be hidden, to be ashamed of. I have been shedding that idea over the last several years, and this, I feel, was the hardest one to open up. But I am so glad that I did. It's still a work in progress, but little by little, it's becoming the amazing vision I had in my head.  We love playing D&D and all kinds of games, so what about a medieval style room? That had me go looking for what kinds of things would be in such a room...  The first thing I started with, was furniture. The couch is the one we've had for years, we couldn't afford to replace it and it was a really comfortable couch so that stayed. My first quest was for some side tables. My old side tables had been well loved for many years, but they didn't fit with my plan, so I found some different o...
