17 Ways to Star Trek Your Kitchen
Confession: I (Kat) am a costume-making convention-going lifelong Trekkie (please don’t say Trekker. That sounds like a hipster Trekkie). But who says that my Star Trek devotion has to stop at the convention hall and blu-ray binge watching? Here are 17 ways to make your kitchen boldly go; from the subtle (“Tea. Earl Grey.

We’ve never done anything like this before, but it was surprisingly easy, cheap, and quick. The entire thing was assembled, attached to the wall, and painted (white to match the crown moulding, with a couple of yellow accent areas) within a few hours. Continue Reading…
