Coffee can take on the most delicious flavors ... especially in the fall. There are so many wonderful seasonal coffees... pumpkin spice, hazelnut, vanilla spice, cinnamon, vanilla nutmeg... YUM!
When I have a crowd at StoneGable I like to put together a coffee bar so everyone can serve themselves, especially before breakfast...
This Pottery Barn Outlet galvanized tiered tray is such a versatile piece! Today it works as a Fall coffee bar on my kitchen island!
The Keurig coffee maker is on the opposite counter. A big white soup tureen holds lots of seasonal Kcups.
White coffee mugs hold rolled napkins in rich autumnal colors.
I love love love using oranges and blues together for fall... a little different... but I think they give fall a sophisticated look.
Sugar bowl and creamer and little burnt orange leaf plates are ready to be used by guests.
I would have shown some yummy pumpkin bread to go along with the coffee.... IF SOMEONE HAD NOT EATEN IT ALL! I'm so glad THE CULPRIT enjoyed it that much!
A bowl of tangerines is offered for fruit lovers.
A barmbly candle ring under the pumpkins add a little "fluff". Gotta have "fluff"!
A small gathering of pumpkins and pyracantha sit next to the coffee station.
I prepare everything the night before so when we wake up we can all have coffee and a little nosh to welcome the new day!
HAPPY FALL!

The top tier holds a little cobalt blue vase of pyracantha... some cinnamon sticks to stir coffee... little blue and white spice jars with nutmeg and cocoa...and vintage spoons.
I tucked in a large egg cup filled with candy corn for a little fun treat! My boys go wild over candy corn.
White pumpkins work well in this coffee bar.

Wish I were your neighbor. I would be over at your house every morning for coffee. (Maybe it's better for you that I'm not!)
ReplyDeleteLovely photos....My mother just bought the galvanized three tier stand and loves it!
ReplyDeleteHappy Fall!
so very lovely!! You have such a gift for hospitality and loveliness!!! Going for my second cup of coffee...:)
ReplyDeleteThis looks wonderful! You put me in the mood for a cup of coffee - I will have to brew some!
ReplyDeleteYour coffee bar is so festive and fun! What wonderful ideas for dressing it up! My daughter wants a coffee bar at her wedding in December, so these are some good ideas to get me started. I have a hot beverage station in my kitchen with hot tea and hot chocolate as well as coffee. It's something for all of our palates. I might have to dress ours up a little before we have company next weekend!
ReplyDeleteOh darling Ivonne, I'm such a fan of your three tier, it just makes me swoon everytime I see it!! Is it tin, or galvanized?? I am going to copy it from a tin shop I've seen around here, it it awesome and I love the way you arranged it for fall, wow!! So unique! I also love coffee and your fall bar is gorgeous, I have my machine just where I can see it, but no bar, perse. Loved this post. Big hugs sweetie.

Oh that wee crock of cinnamon has captured my heart! Is it an antique?
ReplyDeleteHappy All Hallows Eve!
GREAT idea, very cleverly put together - and WOWZA photos, you sure do have the touch, girlfriend.
ReplyDeleteSo fall and so pretty.
Could you please put a hot chocolate K-cup in there for me???? I don't drink coffee:) I know, weird. Your coffee station is beautiful. I am going to do this for Christmas when I have a house full. Thanks for the inspiration!!!! XOXO
ReplyDeleteThis looks so beautiful. And you used two of my favourite fall colours - cobalt blue and orange. This could be done for any season when entertaining. Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteYvonne, forget the coffee, this gorgeous setting is enough for me! I need to check with PB Outlet to see if these tiered trays are still available. What a fun and versatile piece. The small spice cups in blue and white are now on my wish list. ;-)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful presentation as always...........Sarah
Yvonne, your coffee bar is beautiful! What a lovely way to keep things accessible for everyone. I love your idea of keeping the Kcups in a soup tureen. I may need to "borrow" that idea! I love it! You have the most creative hospitality ideas!
ReplyDeleteYvonne, this is precious. Love it.
ReplyDeleteI hope you and yours are all safe from the storms.
I tried to post to you ,but sometimes your blog knocks out my posts. Not sure why.
XO,
Sheila
A truly great idea in the kitchen. Now I want one too. So glad you are doing well. I love the blue and orange and have been thinking of a thanksgivings table with those colors.. just to be different. You gave me some good ideas! xo marlis
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful! What a great idea. I love the galvanized tray!
ReplyDeleteI love your galvanized piece. Such a great way to create a coffee bar!
ReplyDeleteExtra touches like this are what I love to do for people who visit our home.
This is absolutely charming- you are so inspiring. Susan at Romancing the Home
ReplyDeletebeautiful and useful! I love your coffee bar!!!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh you amaze me. :o) This is so welcoming and lovely. I think I'm doing my Thanksgiving table in blues, golds and orange. I won't have a crowd so it will be easier to spend time on the fun things! The linky party button looks pretty good doesn't it? Looking forward to partying with you. Enjoy the rest of your week!
ReplyDeleteYou certainly know how to do things up right, Yvonne. What a treat for visitors and family alike. I love the mix of orange and blue together, too. xo Diana
ReplyDeleteThis is very sweet and rivals the coffee bars I have seen at B&B's! Love the galvanized piece and the blue is a perfect complimentary color! Well done, Yvonne!
ReplyDeleteXO,

Hi there, Oh what a lovely arrangement of cups, creamer, tangerines etc. you have put together. I especially love the Pyracantha berries-they are so pretty; I did want to check a fact I grew up hearing-just in case...my mother always told me the berries are poisonous(we had a large bush in our yard). I don't know whether she told me that to scare me or if it is true; I do know birds get very drunk on them and will fly into homes and windows. I do love your color combinations and would love to have coffee at your home.
ReplyDeleteHugs, Noreen
Hi Nana, Pyracantha berries are not poisonous, but they are very bitter. Just wanted to clear that up!
DeleteI am so glad to see you posting. This must mean that you did not lose your power to Sandy and that all is well in your neighborhood.
ReplyDeleteI have never been an orange fan but have just changed my mind. It looks glorious with your blue and white. Great inspiration, as always.
I love that tiered tray! You have it accessorized so beautifully too. It's decorative, it's functional...it's a perfect piece.
ReplyDeleteYvonne,
ReplyDeleteLove the coffee bar idea...and that must have been some Pumpkin Bread if there's none left, dear friend!!! The blue and white combination with the orange is exquisite, indeed!!! Now, had that been here On Crooked Creek...the candy corn AND the pumpkin bread would have been AOL!!! Ha! Creative idea for making guests (and family) fill right at home @ StoneGable!!!
Fondly,
Pat
I am imagining a little pumpkin spice stirred with a cinnamon stick. I will bring over some apple spice bread and join you for a cuppa.
ReplyDeleteCheers, Gee
This is such a pretty and festive way to serve coffee, Yvonne. I love the galvanized tiered tray, and the pretty napkins rolled into the mugs--a great idea.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful arrangement, Yvonne! My goodness, you are such an accomplished homemaker! I also love the colours blue and orange used together. I find the mixture very uplifting!
ReplyDeleteIt was this beautiful coffee bar in blue and white that first made we say I have to follow this blog...and it was and still is the beautiful images that keep me coming back again and again. Just a wonderful presentation and pretty way to drink coffee.
ReplyDeleteI love your coffee bar. I cannot afford it right now but I found a site where there is a diy tutorial using baking pans. thecraftingchicks.com/2011/05/6955.html
ReplyDeleteI love your coffee bar! What a great idea to serve coffee and fixings so beautifully! You add such style and grace to the simplest of things. You've elevated coffee to an art form!
ReplyDeleteLove your blog. I follow you on facebook too which is usually where I see your things first. :)
ReplyDeleteFabulous tiered zinc tray...love the pyracantha berries with your blue and white pieces.
ReplyDeleteYvonne- be right over for a cup of tea!! This is wonderful. Featuring on my weekly wow's Saturday.
ReplyDeleteSuch an amazing grouping Yvonne and your pictures look amazing. We have a PB outlet about an hour away and I haven't been yet...must go soon!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend!
Blessings,
Cindy
I always have the prettiest displays, Yvonne, that make your guests and family feel special and loved.
ReplyDeleteJUST GORGEOUS!!!
ReplyDeletePottery Barn should be paying you for advertising... oh my.
I am sure many people --- like me --- will run tomorrow to PB and grab one of these too!
Love the layering and the versatility of the piece. Have seen it there and loved it... but when YOU do what you DID.... drooling now.
:)
Love it!
Thanks so much for linking up!
