Yard Sale Coffee Bar

I hit my first yard sale of the year, and I struck gold.

I have been wanting to create a coffee bar for a while now.

I have been inspired on Pinterest by the many beauti

ful ideas.

I knew what I wanted, I just had to find it -

at Goodwill, or even better a yard sale.

I found exactly what I was looking for.

 I found this beat up kitchen cart for $10.

I  brought it home and sanded it down.  

I used a hand sander using 3 grades of sandpaper.

Then I stained the whole thing using Minwax,

Country Pine.

I didn't take photos of the whole process because 

it was too messy and my hands had stain on them.

I already had this old crate (on the left),

and I sanded it down and stained it too.

Then  Brian mounted it to the wall.

I filled the coffee bar with things I already had around the house.

I took this lantern from the family room.

These Pottery Barn dishes and chargers were a gift from my husband and children for Christmas this year.

The brown Transferware is from a beautiful set I found at a yard sale last summer for $20.

Everything with this little metal label is from Marshalls.

Most of it is borrowed from my daughter's collection.

 

 I played around with different accessories until I found the look I was going for.

 And this is the final result.

Let's go party!
