Star Wars fans are a crafty bunch, and when they make over a room to celebrate their love for the saga, they don’t mess around. Just this week, two separate extreme Star Wars rooms popped up on blogs inspiring us all to do something more with our ordinary living spaces.
Y-wing Bed:
Sure we’ve all daydreamed about flying in the cockpit of our very own Y-wing, but why not sleep in one? Check out more photos here.
AT-AT Loft:
Or perhaps you want to sleep knowing that your bed can take you to the far reaches of Hoth? Check out this video and tutorial on how to make your own Imperial Walker Loft Bed.

As the builder of the Y-wing room, I would like to squash the rumor that it’s a fake… I assure you it is VERY real! Our family has been amazed by the attention the room is getting and have laughed long and hard at some of your comments! Thanks for the kinds words…and the laughs! So for those who asked, here’s some more info: We’ve been in this house for approximately 4 years but we had to wait for it’s completion for about 21/2 years before that. IT IS MY SONS ROOM!!! He is now 14 but WE, (yes…he and I BOTH) have been planning, dreaming and designing it for almost 7 years!!! The Star Wars theme was his idea (the loft/ship bed was mine). Since I have built watercraft in the past, I knew I could build a structurally sound spaceship too! LOL So, after taking into consideration the size and layout of the room WE decided on the Y-wing. It took about a year of weekend warrior building to complete and was designed to give as much floor space as possible so my sons friends could sleep over, hang out or play video games. The room is 11×13 with 9 foot ceilings. The underbelly is 6 feet off the floor, leaving about 2 1/2 feet above the bed. Although the majority of the construction fell to me, the whole family (including my wife) got involved in the finishing touches! (I know, it’s shocking I’m married right?) Finally, to answer the question of why we are selling I would just say, we too have been affected by the economy and feel the need to downsize our lives and live within our means! We have lived the American Dream and are now looking to put our time, energy and money into helping those who have lost everything in the economic crash! Our area of California has been especially hard hit and we know there is so much more we could do to help people if we weren’t so tied down with debt! So…thanks for the interest, you have made this Dad feel special and a teen boy feel like a star!!! God Bless!
