Coffee is a beautiful thing

several years ago,

I came across this fun piece of furniture at a 

Garage sale

It was its function, size 

and the fact that it's REAL wood

rather than it's actual appearance

that attracted me..

I have never loved how it looked..

(but I confess it looks great in this picture)

so I decided to bring it up to the farm

and paint it..

see... I think coffee is beautiful 

and I want a coffee station!

I cook for a crowd..

Even if it's my OWN clan (we are 6)

but especially when we have guests...

and one thing that drives me bonkers

are the coffee drinkers..

see I AM ONE OF THEM, but...

people always want coffee JUST in the midst of the 

HOT time in the kitchen..

when things are hopping

happening

and have the potential to be ...

ruined..

I find it stress full

when they 

(yes that might be Machine Man I am speaking of...)

waltz in to get a cup of coffee

and then go to the fridge searching

desperately for cream...

yes.. it ..

annoys

so...

my plan?

coffee station! 

here is the new color!  

Princess painted it with 

Emperors Silk

an Annie Sloan red !

I got it at Tattered Tiques 

but you can look for a location near you!

Princess is getting the hang of this..

I love teaching a student that is SO eager to work

and to LEARN!

She did a great job! 

and now my coffee pals

(self included)

can grab a cup of joe

and not bother the Chef..

or the assistant chef..

yup..

BLISS all around!!

everything "coffee" is on the counter!

Ready for some peace

as my guest sit in my Groovy chair

and chat it up whilst I cook!

LOVE IT!!
