Waking up - Coffee Bar Station

                I wanted to share my Morning - Coffee is where I start knowing that I am to wake. This small counter space that houses the elements to make coffee & tea.

           

         This is the Coffee Bar Station's everyday for Fall . Couple weeks ago I had wanted to share this - a Coffee Bar Station. Only what was exciting about it ... what made it worthy of sharing here??? I looked through Pinterest, watched a couple of YouTube videos, then went to find a couple of  those elements I had seen. Came home with some, excited to put it all together in it's small already cramped counter space. Took some pictures, then they sat in my Gallery waiting to be shared. It still didn't work, it didn't make for 'this is my morning' and what I just did was ( in my thoughts) still not making it worthy.

        The 'staging' of the coffee spot - I upscale the small counter with some good Seattle's Best  coffee and Twinings Chai I already had from last year. This k-pod (Chai) drink - for me, needs to be tweeked and it is a process I haven't found the right formula.

        Having a cuppa o' joe every morning with these name brands are pricey, average $10 bucks for 18 k-pods; so I get Great Value from Walmart at half the price.

   
      Though, if we are talking the price of a cup of coffee, this is the way to go - these refillable k-pod cups work for less. Though sometimes the Keurig will say 'umm don't know this cup', so my half sleep brain just says use these Great Value k-pod. 

       I added these shakers with Cinnamon and Chocolate as part of the staging only I loved the idea of having these to add to my coffee whenever I want, they stayed.  I corralled them on a butter dish plate, the shakers are nothing fancy just a set of salt and pepper shakers.

            
                   Sister loves her Tea, sit here too for her morning drink.

          We are the opposite when it comes to these 2 drinks - Morning Coffee for me and Tea for her, afternoon Tea for me and Coffee for her.

           
          Kettle and a 2-cup coffee maker ... every so often Sister uses the 2-cupper.

         This is the only decor item - a canister of coffee beans. A couple years ago we had a need for coffee beans - forgot the reason but we had them and some had spilled on the floor. Not wanting them to go to waste since they are not going to be brewed, I knew this will be perfect for a decor/picture prop.

   
                    Here it sits adding beauty to the space and still be useful.              

       It is the beginning of my morning, it is home, it is comfortable. So all that 'stuff' I bought, the only thing that stayed after all the picture taking was the Cinnamon & Chocolate shakers and while I put off writing this a dish mat joined the look. So, now I write this - adding the right - new pictures because ----

 This is my morning coffee....

              This is what makes it worthy, that I drink my coffee while I listen to God.

                              until next time,
