Coffee Bar

Let's call this Coffee Bar my Rae Dunn shrine, shall we?! I mean seriously that's what it is! I cannot stop buying these Rae Dunn goodies. I recently found the bowls & I was so excited! On our trip to Texas a couple weeks ago, I found the cutest vase that says Oh La La!

|| Hanging Rack; Basil Tea Towel, Tomato Tea Towel; Magnolia Mug; Magnolia Stems: Magnolia Market || Tiered Rack: World Market || Dish Rack: Oh So Fancy Holmes Decor || Rae Dunn Mugs, Bowls, Tea Pot: found at TJ Maxx/Marshall's/Home Goods || Potting Bench, Fresh Brewed Coffee Sign: Local Antique Store called The Blue Lady || Two tiered Tray: Local Antique Store called Vidler's ||


The whole coffee bar is an antique potting bench that I got at a local antique shop (The Blue Lady, for any locals).  I love all the character it adds to the space with all of its holes & nail heads.  The color is so vintage & pretty.  It's really the perfect size for a coffee bar, it's like it was meant to be :)

I got this hanging rack at Magnolia Market when we were in Waco. I love it hanging with some mugs & a couple of tea towels I picked up at Magnolia Market. It brings so much farmhouse charm to the coffee bar. I think eventually I want to frame those tea towels & hang them underneath the rack.

The blue architectural piece was used at our wedding last summer. I got it at Home Goods & at our wedding we hung our place cards from it. I knew it needed a place in our home so I thought the perfect spot for it, would be right next to our coffee bar nook. The tea towel is one of my favorites because it says Lockport, NY which is our city!

The white shelving unit was gifted to me from my mama. This is a special piece because it houses some of my grandmother & great grandmother's recipes. Being that they were both Italian, they were amazing cooks with amazing recipes. I love having a little bit of nostalgia in this nook. I also love the chippy-ness of it. It's completed with my sugar & creamer set from Olde Tyme Marketplace.

Coffee bars are so fun!  The great thing about a coffee bar is that it can always change.  I am constantly moving things around & rearranging.  For winter, I plan to make it into a Hot Cocoa station!

I am so happy we have a coffee bar.  My Keurig feels right at home & is so convenient in the mornings for a quick cup of joe & at night for tea!

What do you think of my potting bench turned coffee bar?
