Woke up on the dark side of the bed today....

Happy Monday! Here is another Star Wars bedspread that hopefully brings you some joy. I had the pillowcase for this set (I think I still do) and this always transports me to being 7.

A bedroom in a galaxy far, far away

I simply can't look at Star Wars bedspreads and not be happy, it's Pavlovian.

 Unless said bedspread has Ewoks on it, of course, then I fly into a murderous rage for days shouting "CLEANING WOMAN!" the whole time at the top of my lungs. I should probably speak to somebody about that.

Empire Bedding

For a second I wondered if anybody collects the multitude of different Star Wars themed bedsheets that have come out but of course, someone does. 

My biggest question is how to display it, do you have a room full of beds?

The Empire Sleeps Over

I love vintage bedding and sleeping bags but I can never figure out a way of displaying it properly except on my kid's beds.

A bedroom far, far away

I truly never bore of seeing stuff like this...

Boba Bed

The Boba Fett pillow case is still in active use in my home, I'm happy to say.

Time 2000 : Bedspread of the Future

As Star Trek Rip Offs go, this one is a doozy. I'd like to have those curtains (and carpet) for PlaidStallions HQ.....

Aaaaay Sleep on it!

Between Happy Days and Welcome Back Kotter, the 70s were a golden age for sitcom related bedding. 

Sadly, my children only know Fonzie now as "The Guy on the Pillow Case".

 

The Empire Strikes the snooze button

Really digging the art on these.

I never personally had a Star Wars bed spread but I have a childhood  pillow case collection that is like a pop culture time capsule. 

A bedroom far, far away

Just in case you forgot that Star Wars came out in the 1970s, I present the harvest gold bed and curtain sets. May the funk be with you...

Fuzzy covers

I can only imagine this is what Brick Mantooth's bed looks like, I've never seen it.

Beep Beep Sleep

As a child, I always felt a tremendous bit of sympathy for the Coyote, I wouldn't have slept well on a bed filled with his comeuppance.

Sesame Sheets

OK, I'm convinced that catalog photographers just used refridgerator boxes as a substitute for kids' beds, the corners on that thing would cut children. That being said, there is nothing cooler than old school Sesame Street merchandising art, I miss it.

The Boy Wonder's Bedroom

The red phone is of course, a direct link to Commissioner Gordon. I really believe that killer graphics like these bed sheets are the thing that brainwashed me into the deranged superhero junky i remain today. Damn you Licensing Corporation of America!

Frightenstein Contest Winner! Congrats to James Powell for winning our "Save Frightenstein" contest and many thanks to everyone who entered and did their part to keep this Canadian institution on the air.

James won the copy of "Bats, Bones and Creepy Poems starring Vincent Price" the latest Frightenstein DVD to be released.

Bicentennial Bedroom Overload

Now I know what Captain America's bedroom looks like.

Dreams of Glory

Ok, I would so totally use a set of these on my bed today. This picture also features one of my favourite things, the use of toys in the child's bedroom set. For some reason, I really like that extra detail, I probably need to get out more. That's the Dinky Toys Enterprise by the way, one of the cooler 70's Star Trek Toys IMO.

Nothing says "1976" more than the Six Million Dollar Man and Evel Knievel, the matching curtains are just too cool. That's an Ideal Evel crash car on the nightstand BTW. I slept in a hammy down bed which you couldn't get kids sheets for, so I had to settle for pillow cases, if you had these, I envy you.

Super Sheets

Sesame Street or the Superfriends? No contest for me as I had that Superfriends pillow case (and still do), I honestly remember those smiling heroes making me happy when that would show up in it's regular rotation amidst snoopy and the fonz.

You see these sets a great deal at Toy Shows (although I think it might be a Canada only thing) and now have the whole deal for my son's room now.

Bed Spread Senses Tingling!

Star Wars or Spider-Man? These are the decisions children with normal bads got to make, I didn't have that choice as I slept in my parents old bed, much too large for kid's sheets. Well, I didn't do much sleeping after I realised they likely made me in that bed, but that's a story for another time.

Dig the Marvel Star Wars Comic on the night stand, looks like my room now.

Shameless Plug Department: My first article for Toplessrobot.com debuts today, it's titled The 10 Most Awesome Toys of the 70's and if you're reading this blog, you should enjoy that.

The Bed Spins

The one on the left gives me motion sickness....

Sleep Tight Tony Manero Jr.....

Saturday Night Fever didn't garner a ton of merchandise save for the soundtrack, some gumcards (which I will admit I bought) and this bedding set. I realize the power of Travolta but this movie with it's adult themes and language seems like a strange kid's bed set.
