Star Wars room reveal

It's FINALLY done!

After

In May, Eden got his big boy bed.  With no rush, we kept him in his converted toddler bed until he started to roll out of it… every night.  With an abundance of spare beds, we simply did a bed switcheroo with the guest bed becoming Eden’s new bed and the spare bed #2 going into the more used guest room.

Before

As I mentioned previously, at the ripe age of 3, Eden loves Star Wars (sniff, sniff. As we wipe a little proud tear away from our eyes).  It was our opportunity to geek out and finally buy the Pottery Barn Kids Star Wars sheets!  MrH is so jealous; he takes any opportunity to have to sleep in Mr E’s room.  And suddenly Uncle Ed wants to stay over too?

I had so much fun choosing these pillows.
With free shipping it was too temping to buy more!

We didn’t have to do much other than kit it out with all things Star Wars.

• Linen:  Star Wars™ Darth Vader™ Quilted bedding (Pottery Barn Kids)
• Throw Pillows: The Force by Maria Jose Da Luz, This is my Lightsaber by 6amcrisis, It’s a Star Wars by Danny Haas, and Star W. alphabet by Fabian Gonzalez (All purchased from Society6; I kept going back for more)
• Wall decals: ‘The Force is strong in this one’ (Purchased from eBay store Sticker Studio and 'A Boy and his AT-AT' by DisaDesigns (Purchased from etsy)
• Framed Star Wars art: it’s fabric!  Star Wars Kids by nixongraphix (Purchased from Spoonflower)  (We are missing one thing (his name in Star Wars characters) but it will be gained as a token from Eden’s inaugural trip to Disneyland)

I had a few DIY projects for Eden’s room and little time to complete them.  So, I made it a goal to complete one per weekend.  They weren’t difficult projects to complete, I just lacked the time to sit down and do it.

Weekend 1:  Wampa rug – it sure beat forking out $400+ for it.  It’s not that expensive but adding in
                     the shipping Down Under, it topped the $400 mark!  I used this fantastic tutorial and am
                     happy with the way it turned out.  Occasionally he is up for a wrestle but mostly he sits
                     at the bottom of the bed to “protect” Eden from bad dreams.

Weekend 2:     Re-purposing a pink bedside table that no longer suited Miss E’s princess room to a white bedside table for a boy’s room.

Somewhere to store Star Wars books

Weekend 3:     Re-purposing a previously green chair into a Stormtrooper chair.  This one took longer than a weekend due to the time it took to bleach out the green.  I didn’t want to re-sew a chair cover and thought bleaching would be a much easier solution (and it was!).  After I was happy with the colour (I couldn’t get it snow white), I used a fabric pen to draw on my Stormtrooper.  Ta-da!
