excerpts from the book the inspired room
A Personalized Coffee Station
No
matter the season, create a space that welcomes you, your family, and your guests
to indulge in a freshly brewed cup of coffee. With a few steps, you can set up
your own coffee station on a counter, a roller cart, or anywhere you have room.
Container of your favorite coffee
Choose
a pretty jar or canister and fill it with really good coffee. Some of my favorites
include Stumptown Coffee, Sleepy Monk, and Storyville Coffee Roasters. Have a
coffee scoop in or near the jar. Don’t forget other beverage favorites that
suit the season. Fill a container with hot chocolate and tea packets!
Coffeemaker
By “coffeemaker” I don’t mean a live-in barista! But wouldn’t that be nice? The appliance you have doesn’t have to be fancy—anything from a drip coffeemaker to a French Press to a Nespresso will do.
Mugs and a mug tree
Mix
and match different mugs for an eclectic look or go classic with simple white
mugs. What’s more fun than finding a special mug (or receiving one) and then
displaying it?
A pretty towel or napkins
Hang
towels and stack pretty napkins near your coffee station to bring a touch of
seasonal color to your kitchen. We made our own rod to hang towels by sliding a
long branch through shelf brackets.
Personalized taste mini station: cream, sugar, and syrup
Provide
options for every personal taste with cream, sugar, and flavored syrups. Don’t
forget seasonal coffee and syrup flavors. Place syrup bottles on the counter (or
make your syrup and use glass oil dispensers for a clean look), in a wine bottle
rack, or in a basket that can be moved if you need the counter space.
Bring in seasonal touches
Enhance your coffee station with mini trees and a hand-made Christmas banner. Little accents will add just the right amount of holiday cheer.
