:: home coffee bar

I'm so excited to share my new coffee bar with you.

I found this really great shelf at Hobby Lobby 

and I knew instantly it would be perfect here.

I also knew exactly what I wanted to do with it.

So, here it is in all it's glory....my new coffee bar....I love it.

I love the height it adds to this side of my kitchen,

and I love the retro industrial look of the shelf.

I simply pulled out my white coffee mugs & saucers

to fill the awesome wire baskets and hang from the hooks.

I had a small collection of vintage coffee pots looking for a home

so I added them along with my letter E...glad to finally have some display space.

When the kids go back to school this fall I will be painting the red walls,

I think it's going to look even better against the new light walls.

I think I may also paint the chest a nice gray color

and add some really cute vintage knobs.

What do you think?

I'm also trying to decide on one of these new coffee makers.

I'll save my old one for parties & get togethers.

I'm really leaning to the one on the left

it had the best reviews and its 14 cups.

I would love to see a fancy schmancy

stainless steel espresso machine on my bar,

but the reality is that I would be too lazy to use it,

if it came with a barista that would be a different story.

So what do you think of my coffee bar?

If you have one of these coffee makers and love it

or hate it I would love to know.

Sorry for the not so great photos,

I can't find my tripod thingy for my camera.

Well, now you know what I'll be doing the rest of the day...

searching....scouring....scrounging....

for that thingy.

Happy Monday 

{ peace, love & hugs }
