I've been scouting out something I could use as a coffee station for months now. Nothing really caught my eye. There are only two of us in our house that even drink coffee so I wanted to keep it simple. I think the Keurig machines are cool but not really worth the expense (for me.) Not trying to be a frugal snob but with only two of us drinking the stuff and one of those not even home most of the time, it isn't worth the cash to me. I don't want to spend that much money on a coffee maker nor the pods that go in it..I still want to be able to buy my other treasures after all :)
I found this tiered serving piece at an anitique mall this weekend while we were visiting Franklin, TN ......again. I loved the scalloped edges and the creamy color. What I didn't love was the gold colored handles..so I spray painted them and took some of the paint off with my finger nail after it had almost dried. I love the new look much better.
These sweet little Pfaltzgraff cups, I found at the GW.... 4 of them for 2 bucks :) They fit perfectly on the first plate. They are wide and just the right height to work here. I'm drinking out of one of them now as I type. Wish I had taken a picture of this carmel colored deliciousness!
I snagged this coffee canister at a yard sale this fall and purchased the small red canisters this weekend from DG to put sugar and cappuccino in. The little snow flake adds a winter touch to this corner of our coffee station counter area.
I add two of these little sweethearts in my cup. They don't even need to be refrigerated so that means they can sit on the top of the station and be handy dandy. This girl loves some cream! Coffee-mate makes some splendid flavors too. Carmel Macchioto is one of our absolute favorites.
If you have non-coffee drinkers in your house like we do..there's always hot chocolate.
Happy Holidays Folks!
Hope you're snuggled in like we are enjoying a warm cup of coffee and admiring the lights on your tree, and most importantly reflecting on a baby in Bethlehem.
Very cute! I would be happy just looking at that every morning before grabbing a cup of coffee.
ReplyDeleteAmanda, Thanks so much for stopping by but even more for taking the time to leave a comment. They make my day :) I'd be glad to serve you a cup of coffee..looks like you live in Missouri so you can't be too far away!
DeleteYour coffee station is so cute! I have seen so many great coffee stations but they are mostly dedicated pieces of furniture set aside for that purpose and a space which I do not have. Your idea is so practical as well as cute.
ReplyDeleteMindy,
DeleteThank you my faithful friend! Your mantle is cute as can be btw.. I don't have room for anymore furniture either..but just enough space for this, although I did have to move my paper towel holder. Not too much of an effort to do that though.
Great idea for a coffee station. I love the three tied serving piece. Looks beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThanks Judy! I appreciate the feed back and the visits :)
DeleteSweet! Good for you for knowing it was perfect when you spotted it. I'm the queen of hindsight when it comes to those sorts of things. :)
ReplyDeleteCould you tell me the brand of that beautiful coffee container? The cream colored one. I've e been looking for something and when I googled your picture came up. I would love to find one.
