You know what I do when I’m needing to get myself all motivated to do anything around the house? I turn on my coffee pot. I brew coffee. I SNIFF coffee. I like to drink it but the honest truth is I like smelling it and holding the hot cup even more than drinking it. And of course, I love making my coffee station all pretty and even the sight of it is a motivator to keep my counter clean :). This is one of my favorite daily rituals!

I brake for charming houses and I love coffee breaks. I'm a wife, mom of three humans and two pups living near Seattle.

My hubby is the coffee drinker at our house, so our espresso station has much more of a man cave vibe than yours.. Pretty sure I’m jealous.
Melissa ~ can inquire as to where you purchased that amazing light fixture near the window? Just the sort of thing I’m looking for…
This coffee bar area is delightful!
Love that little spot!
I prefer the taste of a hot chai tea latte over coffee, but I’m with you on that enticing aroma! 🙂 LOVE LOVE LOVE your kitchen.
One of my obsessions is dishes. I keep myself reigned in because I just don’t have the room. So what naturally caught my eye was your turquoise and white expresso cups. Love love love them!
Melissa….What an enchanting little spot! Perfect to rest the soul and ponder interesting thoughts!!!
I view the kitchen as the true heart of the home and a coffee/beverage station like YOURS is such a beautifully welcoming set-up to anyone who enters! We are building a new home and since I’ve been reading your blog, Melissa, I have been so inspired to have a coffee station in our new kitchen and have made it part of our counter design! Can’t wait till our home is completed ( next month!) and to share photos and our home story here. Thanks for all the inspiration!
