10 Things You Need For Your Dream Star Wars Kitchen

The following piece was originally written for She Geeks, and has been re-posted here with permission.

I love cooking. I love baking. I love throwing dinner parties (though the general consensus is that they will, in fact, be the death of me one day). I am a big ‘ole fan of Dance Cooking in particular.

Basically, the kitchen is where I largely find what little zen I can. It should come as no surprise then, that my kitchen is the room I most often dream about giving a badass makeover. I have a lovely vision of a posh, clean-lined oasis with a country sink, subway tile accent wall, simple but spacious cabinetry, and hammered copper fixtures. Truly, it’s going to be glorious when I win the lottery and can finally afford to remodel the room from where the cookies come.

Just because my vision would put the studio kitchens on The Food Network to shame, however, doesn’t mean it wouldn’t also be a geek haven. Oh, no! One of the best things about being an adult (aside from eating dessert for breakfast or breakfast for dinner), is being able to express your geek love however much or little you may want. So, in addition to being classy as hell, my dream kitchen is also Star Wars themed, because I can. Here are my top 10 items to keep your geek kitchen chic whether you’re on the Death Star or a Rebel Base.
