Fresh Coffee


I ran across a blog recently with a "coffee station" and pinned one on Pinterest so decided to set one up. I had a little black sign that said "Kindness Matters" so I spray painted over it and printed out fresh coffee to trace onto it.

I sketched out a little coffee mug from a picture on the Internet also.

When I traced the words and cup I thought it would make an indention to go by but I could barely see where I traced. It turned out okay. Seriously, I didn't have a very steady hand. Maybe I should have eaten lunch first.

I sanded it a bit. I don't think the paint was completely dry but I was okay with the way it came out.


I used this ironstone platter in my dining room hutch to corral everything. I bought this platter at an antique store in Manassas after buying Sarah's wedding dress. Coffee, coffee mate, and splenda in glass containers and spoons in a little pitcher.


I think it turned out cute. It does make it handier for everything to be in one place. I have a shelf on the wall above this and I hope to get a wider one and store my coffee cups there.

Gotta love the inspiration from blogs and Pinterest. Even for small little changes like this. :)
