Coffee Station Just For Me

I am an avid coffee drinker, but I am the only one in my home that drinks it.  Still yet, I love coffee.  In reorganizing our kitchen I decided to change the way I stored my coffee supplies.  I had seen several cute little coffee stations online and I was inspired to have my own.  And here it is!!

The basket in the back holds my coffee filters and my coffee scoop.  The basket came as a gift filled with lots of fun yummy goodies.  I would really like something a smidge smaller.  But for now it’s fine.  The tray I found at Hobby Lobby.  I am in love with adding blues here and there to my house.  

I went thrifting with one of my real-life blogging friends Jennifer the other day, and it seems I had ceramic on my brain, because this is what I came away with.  All a steal – I didn’t pay over a dollar for any one piece.  Love that!!  

Anyway you see how the canister started.  It had an airtight seal, and I liked the shape and the color of the canister, just not so crazy about the lid.  

So I got out some paint, and went to work.  I also added just a touch of glaze to it so it wouldn’t be just a flat color.  I did tape off the portion that would touch the inside just in case.

(I was so excited for the end product, I forgot to take any more pics of the process – sorry.)  I used more of my chalkboard vinyl to make a label for the canister and voila!!  I love how it turned out and I love this little cream and sugar set I found.  

I am also enjoying bringing some orange into the house. Orange is the happiest color after all!!  

I still haven’t jumped on the kurig bandwagon.  Mostly because I drink several cups of coffee and I don’t want to wait for each one to brew.  I don’t even like to wait for the first one to brew, but I’m too forgetful (and lazy) to use the program button.  

I love having a little color in the corner!!  How about you??  Do you like coffee or do you prefer you coca-cola?  Do you drink it only in the morning or all throughout the day??
