I’ve been moving things around again in my house … what can I say, I love to change things!
My dining room is rather small and since we took out the wall separating it from my kitchen it’s actually more like we have a large eat in kitchen and no dining room. It’s all just one big room now. Anyhow … two things I’m in the process of changing. Phase one was making a little ‘cafe counter’ for all my coffee fixins and phase two will be changing out the stuff on the walls.
Here is what it looks like right now …
This wall is going to have some BIG changes coming soon … I have had all my word signs for years and even though I do love them, it’s time for a change ….
This white board was put up last year for us to use for school … however since the girls are going to be at regular school this coming fall I might be changing this whole wall too. I am entertaining the idea of keeping the white board and using it as a weekly calendar / message center … but haven’t completely decided on that yet.
And THIS little bookshelf is my phase one!
I decided to bring all my coffee and tea elements over here and make a little cafe …
On the top shelf is my Keurig, my coffee spinner, a jar with spoons and my awesome fruit / vegetable stand.
On the middle shelf I put a fun Paris tray with all my mugs …
A bright red plate with sugar, Truvia and Honey and my Bible study stuff so I can easily access them in the mornings while I have my coffee …
On the bottom shelf is my ‘collection’ of Keurig K-cups and a basket with some different teas …
And some fun new Torani syrups which can be added to coffee or tea … {I found these 1/2 price at my grocery store!!}
I got my coffee spinner for FREE from a friend who wasn’t going to use it! And my fruit stand is from Target, I’ve had it for several years and I LOVE it!
And of course I adore my Keurig!!
What I love about the cafe is that it freed up a lot of my counter space in the kitchen, it looks cute and it makes me want to sit at my dining table and enjoy a cuppa joe, a pastry and a fresh piece of fruit!
When I was all done my sweet daughter made this sign on the white board …
And don’t you just love the coffee cups with swirls of steam??!!
Yep, this is my new happy place …. I’ll be back to show you the walls when I’ve completed that part of the project!

Looks great! And I seriously think it's awesome that you stuck your Bible study stuff right there out in the open. I can't wait to see what you do with the wall - I'm sure I will love it! :)
Oooo the suspense... Love it so far and I might be jealous that you have a dog who doesn't get into stuff that low. Can wait to see the wall!
Love the drink station! Have fun with the rest of your decorating!
