Space Kitchen [Old Shots]

I'm thinking about retouching up my kitchen environment  texturing and re-lighting it to see if I can get some decent results out of it. It's something that, although simple, I like the idea, and I want to, with the skills I've learned since I initially made it, improve it. I'd also love to add more detail, and maybe try to incorporate my robot character into it, as maybe his home.

My robot character has one job to collect and recycle scrap aluminum, since the island he lives on is quite dusty, his house underground would be out of that dirt and smog. He brings back bits and pieces to hobble together a cozy little home. I'm thinking of bringing one of my other characters, Lily, into here as well. She'd be his owner/friend/guardian. She's a rebellious girl, young, living a free life, but challenging authority and the laws and norms on this island town, and together they are connected, set out in this world to help each other, a bond built between girl and her loving companion, a robot who was never like the others; compassion, personified, and in need of someone to help him through a tough life.

Anyway. Here are some images of the kitchen. I lost this lighting setup, but would like to recreate something like it, and with the textures, hopefully give the look of a dimly lit, dusty place, the only illumination coming from the shaft of light down the stairs and a flickering ceiling bulb.
