Star Wars Nursery -- Picture Heavy!

[dellastella]

A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away... I decided it would be a great idea to make our son's nursery Star Wars themed. Never mind the fact that there are very few Lucasfilm products aimed at the infant set! So I ended up making a lot of the things I had in mind. This being Craftster, I'll focus on the DIY goodies.

On the recliner is my R2D2 quilt, as well as a Boppy cover that I made.

The toybox was woodburned by my sister and brother-in-law, using the art of James Hance as inspiration.

The bunting on the wall behind the crib is made out of felt, and you can read more about how I repurposed the mobile in this Craftster post. I also made the crib skirt, which you can't see too well but isn't anything special.

My husband helped me with the wiring on the lightsaber lamp. It's made out of one of the 'spares' from his collection, and some cheap IKEA lamp parts.

I also designed the two little pieces of text art in the center here. The two much nicer pieces are from James Hance.

The biggest DIY project in the room is the fiber optic starfield ceiling. I can't claim too much credit on this one -- I found the idea on Pinterest, but my husband executed 90% of it because I couldn't crawl around the attic in my delicate condition. Here is a video of it in action. I also made the roman shade, using fabric from Spoonflower.

And used the same fabric for closet curtains...

... and an upholstered cardboard initial.

This paper lantern mobile was inspired by some others that I found on Pinterest and Etsy.

Hope you enjoyed our geeky little nursery! Thanks for looking   There are lots more pictures on my flickr and my blog if you're interested.

I Love it, wish I could go back in time and redo ours. Love how you picked a theme and made it all instead of choosing from what was available.

[AmyLynn98]

  Ummmm, will you come to my house and redo MY bedroom like that? we can wait until my husband deploys in the summer so he won't know about it ahead of time.

I wish I could mark this as ROCKS more than once.

[usagi32211]

Awesome! I sent the link to James. He loves seeing people inspired by his work.

[Jatoha]

Wonderful!

[maytina]

Ho. Lee. Crap.

It's stunning, so so so kick ass. I love it!

[LizzyEU]

This is SO awesome. Also, that trash can in the curtain closet has high R2D2 painting potential.

[dellastella]

LizzyEU -- I hadn't even noticed that! Haha... Time to bust out some paint!

[kfad]

Hands down the most awesome nursery I have ever seen. Amazing!

[corchen]

This rocks! I really hope your kid turns out to appreciate just how amazing his nursery is! (And I hope that you continue the theme as he grows up - although most of that stuff would do just as well for a teen as a baby... possibly not the crib...).

[craftADDchick]

Holy cow! I love this! The entire thing is amazing, but I am especially in love with the R2-D2 quilt. I would just plop down on the floor with that quilt and stare up at the ceiling- so peaceful!

And, I bought a piece of artwork for my brother by James Hance. If he isn't going to hang it up, I'm stealing it back!

[drogjami]

As a huge Star Wars fan, What can I say. Your son is so lucky to have great parents!

[loudxmouse]

This is SO bloody amazing!
I have a star wars nursery pinned on my "Future" board that I find on pinterest, but this one is so detail oriented and crafty! I loooooove it

[sweets4ever]

Eeeeep, I LOVE it!  I'm currently designing our next kiddo's nursery and this just made my day.  mr.sweets4ever loves your ceiling, too!

[mrsflibble]

NERD PARENTS FTW!!!!

[LadyJasper]

This is a wickedly awesome idea! The room looks amazing!!!!! I hope your child one day looks back to their nursery and knows what cool parents they have.

[Rae-mazing]

This is the neatest room. All the little details, like art, quilt, mobile, etc are just the best. It's perfect!

[Myrdda]

this is how i want my room

[Candlesprite7]

Wow!! I think my fav part is the ceiling!! Though All of it is freaking awesome! Your baby is soo very lucky!!

[llisaredd]

This is by far the coolest nursery I've ever seen!

[kjlutz]

Wow that is incredible, I love all the details you put into it.  We never managed to get our nursery decorated, so I am always in awe of people who not only get it done, but do it to such an incredibly high level. 

[AhuraFarouk]

Amazing.. It seems you've taken lots of efforts on this project, worth seeing it!!!

[PaleAngelLex]

That ceiling is amazing! I wish mine was like that now. Your husband is super awesome. I hope you and your son son have equally amazing memories in that room.

[mthrasher138]

This is so awesome! I love the bunting and Artoo quilt the best!

[PickleGlitter]

Your child is destined for greatness. What a lucky little guy!

I almost want to have another baby just so I can copy your nursery. Almost.

My favorite thing (it's hard to choose) is probably the set of paper lanterns. Those are cool!

[machiavellian]

Oh! Be still my heart!

[LimeRiot]

This is amazing!! I really like that the Star Wars details are completely recognizable but also subtle. Your R2D2 quilt is spectacular. Awesome awesome job!!

[Foxy Sam]

Wow, you've  done a great job at decorating for the theme, love the changed winnie the pooh illustrations, made me look twice at a couple of them, very clever idea indeed!  That R2D2 quilt is amazing! 

[PaperBeau]

I'm in awe. WOW! 

[sweets4ever]

Congrats!!

I love this nursery more than my own room.

[photojenn]

This is awesome!  I love the quilt!

[bunny1kenobi]

loving the tauntaun hobby horse, the R2 quilt, and the bunting! Awesome! This rocks!

[embercostumer]

So awesome! My son has a "space" themed nursery so that I would have an excuse to frame and hang my Firefly prints!! I never got around to doing it as elaborately as you though! (And I'm still working on his space-ship quilt!)

[MissGoguen91]

This has got to be the most amazing nursery I've ever seen. I love it all!!!!

[kittykill]

This is adorable! I want to live there!

[artista83]

you should paint the trash can that is in the closet to look like R2D2!
