I have been loving our coffee bar since we put it in this spring.
In July, I was planning Megan's 20th birthday dinner and decided to make a cupcake tree. I bought a bunch of cardboard birthday items from the Martha Stewart collection at JCPenney - and even though they were on clearance, I spent a fortune. Usually I add up my purchases so I am not surprised at the register. But this time I was so caught up in the excitement of finding so many cute items on clearance, I didn't really figure out the cost. So I left the store with that sick feeling in my stomach that I spent too much money.
The next day, I was at TJMaxx and I found this 3-tiered wooden stand in the gardening section. I loved it! And then the wheels started spinning. I could use this for the cupcakes, and then reuse it in my coffee station. I decided to return all the Martha Stewart items. (I love her, but not her prices).
A few days later, I was in TJMaxx again, when I spotted this item on CLEARANCE. I bought the clearance stand, and returned the original. Have you ever done that?
This is the coffee station (bar) currently.

Yes, I have done that too. When you find something you like more then you have to make the switcheroo!
ReplyDeleteI love everything in the picture. The coffee mugs and accessories are so cute! Love the three tiered shelf and the curtains too. :)
This really is inspirational to me - I remember seeing it when you first did it, it is so nice! Such a good idea too!
ReplyDeleteYou have been a busy lady.....that would be exactly what I would have done!! It is perfect in the coffee station, beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI always love seeing your ideas, and cozy home! I put my coffee mugs on a tall plate stand, but your arrangement here with the cart and all is darling!

So lovely! I love your crate on the wall too. I think I'm going to go shop in the gardening sections from now on! :)
