We are BIG coffee drinkers here at StoneGable! Mornings start with a mug of S-T-R-0-N-G coffee!
When we have a house full, I like to set up a coffee bar to have all things coffee on hand for our family and guests...
I found this great triple tiered galvanized metal caddy at the Pottery Barn Outlet. It works great as a coffee station. Getting all the mugs and coffee related paraphernalia up and vertical is quite a space saver.
The coffee bar is stationed on one side the kitchen island, away from where I cook breakfast. That way I won't be shoo-ing people out of my cooking space!
The bottom two tiers store my everyday white mugs (HomeGoods)...
As well as a blue and white transferware bowl (Antique shop) of summery shells...
A blue and white mug filled with white handled spoons (both HomeGoods)...
And a little bowl of cherries! I know that my boys will not be able to hold out till breakfast without a little nosh!
Striped napkins (Sur La Table) look summery and fresh tucked in here and there. These are great NO iron napkins! Perfect to use and reuse all season long!
The top tier holds all yummy things to make a strong cup of Joe even taste better.
An old flea market cup holds raw sugar.
Salt shakers hold cinnamon, nutmeg and cocoa.
The shakers were labeled with one of my favorite gadgets, my label maker. I could seriously get a little crazy with this wonderful fun machine!
Milk mixed with a little cream is in an easy to pour glass bottle.
White astilbe and purple salvia make a frilly little bouquet in a cobalt blue vase.
A blue woven basket (Wm-Sonoma) of sweets helps get rid of any morning hunger until breakfast is served!
A fun galvanized menu board let's everyone know the coffee du jour...
Who needs Starbucks...
Coffee anyone?
Just a reminder...

A three tier galvanized tray.......unbelievable! I love it, I am a big coffee drinker too. Love mine with FF half & half and a sprinkle of cinnamon. xo
ReplyDeleteWhat a great use for that tray! I have the same one from Pottery Barn. Now I will need to dig it out and bring it back to life!

ReplyDeleteYvonne,
ReplyDeleteI really like your coffee bar. My husband and I are also coffee lovers. Clever idea!
That's a wonderful set-up, Yvonne! I love mixing cocoa and coffee for a mid-afternoon pick-me-up. Love the napkins and your white handled silverware. Everything looks so pretty and organized!
ReplyDeleteOh I just adore this Yvonne! You are right who needs starbucks. I love this idea. Your blog is so beautiful and filled with so much inspiration. I don't get over here often enough. I am adding you to my blog roll...and even if I can't comment all the time, I want to see what you are up to more often:)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea Yvonne! Everything you do always looks so pretty!!
ReplyDeleteThe galvanized tray is to die for! You have set up the perfect coffee bar to make anyone and everyone welcome!
ReplyDeleteXO,

I LOVE that galvanized metal tray. And what a great coffee set up you've created. I don't drink coffee, but this would work with tea, too. Just wonderful!
ReplyDeleteYour caddy looks really cute (and very functional) as a coffee station! Also lovin' the no iron napkins:@)
ReplyDeleteI love your little coffee station. I also love that galvanized tiered tray. Would love to find one for myself.
ReplyDeleteIt sure looks like morning time is fun around your place!
I just love everything about this Yvonne! I'm dying for a cup of Joe right now!!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Susan and Bentley
What a brilliant idea:) I just love it, and all your cute ideas for coffee. I now think I need a trip to PB.
ReplyDeleteYvonne,
ReplyDeleteColumbian coffee and a sweet would be breakfast enough for me, dear friend!!! Wonderful idea! I've set up a similar drink station during the winter months for hot cocoa...now you've got me thinking!!! Always inspiring ideas @ StoneGable!!!
Fondly,
Pat
I was just admiring the galvanized tiered tray filled with blue and red flowers in the PB catty that came in the mail today. What a great idea to use it for your coffee station!
ReplyDeleteA great coffee station, Yvonne. I like to do this in the winter with a collection of hot drinks. Hot chocolate, cider mix, tea and coffee. It's so fun! Yours looks beautiful with all the lovely blue and white!!
ReplyDeleteFABuLOUS coffee bar!
ReplyDeleteI ran over to tell you the Pool Noodle party is open for a week, plenty of time to come play!
ReplyDeleteI got smacked in the face with this GORGEOUS post though. Your photos are so pretty!! Feel like I flipped through a magazine. I must get over more often. I have been having such a hard time visiting everyone. So much good stuff =)
I absolutely love this coffee bar! The blue and white is so refreshing. The triple tiered tin stand is a beauty as are the lovelies with which you have filled it. The bowl filled with seashells just sings of summer. Such eye candy!
ReplyDeleteWe love our coffee also and your wonderful coffee bar is a terrific way to gather everything in one spot! Love it!!
ReplyDeleteNow you've done it! Made me want one! You did a great job setting it up. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great ideal and I love that tray. You covered everything and I think any guest would feel right at home.
ReplyDeleteSandy
Your coffee bar is such a great idea. It's not only functional, it's so pretty. Makes me want to drop in for breakfast!
ReplyDeleteMary Alice
Do you ever run out of ideas, GF???? This is wonderful. I will remember this for when we have guests at Christmas next year IN THE NEW HOUSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks!!! XOXO, P
ReplyDeletehow sweet is that! I love it!
ReplyDeleteHelen
Ohhhh I love the galvanized tiered stand! I'm not into coffee, but now tea, that's another thing!! Great idea and space saver, Yvonne!!
ReplyDeleteI don't have one of these stands but I sure wish I did. This works so well for so many things and you turned it into a very stylish coffee bar. Beauty and function-winning combination!
ReplyDeleteRobin
Robin Flies South
What a great idea. Styled so pretty as you always do.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great idea Yvonne and I love all the blue and white against the galvanized iron!
ReplyDeleteI've had my eye on that stand for awhile and now that you've given me another way to use it, I may have to get it now!
Beautiful and space saving, too! You have such a knack for making the everyday elegant.
ReplyDeleteYour coffee bar looks fabulous! What a perfect way to greet the morning :)
ReplyDeleteYvonne, My husband would love this! He adores strong coffee in the morn AND at night! I have never had coffee in my life. I know...strange. But, I do love some great tea and I love this display! I am excited about the link party! Hope you are well! Christie at Three Pixie Lane
ReplyDeleteLove your coffee station. What a lucky family you have. You are a real homemaker.
ReplyDeleteOh my Yvonne....what a fantastic idea....and it keeps thinks in such a gorgeous display....You are the creative one!!....I am crazy in love with that Idea...it's beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea for a coffee bar. Everything is so compact yet pretty.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, I love that so much I'm tempted to become a coffee drinker just so I could have one! lol
ReplyDeleteOk, I think I need to start following you!
I have loved these tiered trays since I first saw them last year~ your use of it for your coffee bar is too cute, with all the sweet (grin) accoutrements! :-) Sue
ReplyDeleteHow cute! I love your tower of coffee!!! :D I would love to make one, too....plus it is so summery! :D
ReplyDeletexo,
RJ
PS I bookmarked this to show my daughter!
Great idea. It all looks so inviting and so well executed!
ReplyDelete- The Tablescaper
Oh that is fantastic! Love how pretty it is and functional...:)
ReplyDeleteI love your coffee bar. We drink a lot of coffee here. Right now we are drinking ice coffee.
ReplyDeleteDee
What a great idea. Of course the galvanized tiered trays are perfect! I love this idea for when guests are here too! No need to ask for anything, it's all right there. Your style rocks! xo marlis
ReplyDeleteThis is great, Yvonne. I look forward to the weekends so I can enjoy a leisurely morning cup of coffee at home. I usually wait during the work week to grab a cup when I get to the office.
ReplyDeleteYvonne -- what a great coffee station! I love galvanized anything, lol. My station is located on a little vintage chest of drawers that sits in my kitchen. All the fun *mix-in* are tucked into vintage lidded refrigerator dishes. Everyone gets served one cup, then you are family and just help yourself. Would LOVE to have you to my little Faithfulness Farm house for coffee -- maybe someday your travels will bring you to Nebraska :)
ReplyDeleteBlessings!
Gail
Yvonne I am drinking my quite strong morning coffee as I read your wonderful post!!
ReplyDeleteA great Coffee Station I love the tiered tray and the stripe napkins!

gorgeous! no detail unattended! i really like your use of the tiered server, and who can argue with red, white, and blue? :)
ReplyDeleteHow welcoming! Your guests must have been so happy to feel so pampered!
ReplyDeleteI love that tiered tray! I have been watching at Pottery Barn hoping they may put it on sale! I love how you made use of it. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteLOVE this...will have to reproduce it the next time I have company. I have a label maker problem too! So does my daughter...guess it is hereditary.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I am not a coffee drinker I think this is a great idea when we have guests. Thanks you for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteHope you have a fabulous day!
Exceptional use of that tiered tray!!! I have seen that at Pottery Barn and loved it! You came up with a really unique way to use it that makes a whole lot of good sense and frees up a lot of horizontal space on the kitchen counter!
ReplyDeleteYvonne~ What a perfect use for your PB tiered tray! We don't have a PB outlet nearby but I remember seeing that piece in the store! Serving coffee never looked so good with your mix of blue, white, flowers & shells!
ReplyDeleteOh what fun. Love this idea and that tiered tray!!
ReplyDeleteHi Yvonne, I have been watching that tiered tray in our Pottery Barn store waiting for it to go on sale, and here you are finding it at the Outlet!! We don't have one nearby but I sure wish we did! This idea is ingenious--so much counter space can be saved and no one will be in the "no man's zone" as I call it in my kitchen--the area I need to get back and forth from the sink to stove to cabinets! I am joining your new party but I see that I have the name wrong! I will fix that immediately. Thanks for hosting this exciting new party. Linda
ReplyDeleteGorgeous, Yvonne. I love the tiered piece.
ReplyDeleteYvonne,
ReplyDeleteThat looks so summery and inviting with the blue and white.
Love that idea.
Merchandising the metal caddy is a great idea. I came close to buying the same piece at our Pottery Barn. PB Outlet...what a boon to tablescaping! Is there a tea bag stuck in with all that coffee goodness? Never have drunk coffee. Thanks for inviting us for a peak...and a cup-o-joe. Cherry Kay
ReplyDeleteYvonne,
ReplyDeleteI have a coffee corner too--with a wicker tiered tray for all the trimmings, and a cream colored ceramic memo board for the coffee(s)-of-the-day list when we have company. I usually have to set up a large pushpot for decaf & another for regular coffee as our get-togethers can become quite large, so it's helpful to have a place to list the coffee types. With a ceramic board, you can use colored Sharpie markers & 'erase' with nail polish remover. Fun to make the colors seasonal! Love your blog & all the wonderful ideas & recipes. :)
Shar
I love, love, love this idea for a coffee bar! It's so much more fun than how I just organize everything in a corner. I'm going to try something like this for our next brunch. Loving your blog!
ReplyDeleteYvonne, we are big coffee fans at our home. I'm going to check our PB outlet and see if I can find one of these. We have very limited counter space and this is a perfect solution. Love this idea! Will try to join your new party next week as I'm away from home at the moment. Sounds like a fun topic. ~ Sarah
ReplyDeleteThis is simply amazing! You have done an incredible job in re-purposing the tiered server! Love all the blue and white, along with the shells. Your photographs look like pictures in a magazine - wow!!
ReplyDeleteI so love your tiered tray, what a fantastic idea..
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for sharing, and no; not everyone needs Starbucks!!
Michele
This is so cute! I'm not even a coffee drinker but this makes me want to be. So you found this at the PB Outlet, I'll be on the look out, love this idea.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea with the coffee station. Your guests can make themselves at home without bothering you. Looks like you have thought of everything. I say NO to Starbucks.....you get more personalized service at your house.
ReplyDeleteI don't even drink coffee, but I'm going to try to copy this! Love all your cups and decor on the tray. love, love, love!
ReplyDeleteTotally love it Yvonne... in fact I now want a coffee bar in my kitchen :)
ReplyDeleteI'd love it if you'd consider sharing this post at Shabbilicious Friday ~ http://shabbyartboutique.blogspot.com.au/2012/06/shabbilicious-friday-226.html
This is so beautifully simple and lovely. Please invite me to your house for coffee!
ReplyDeleteI love this galvanized tiered holder...I wanted one the first time I saw it in a pottery barn catalog! Such a cute idea for coffee....I don't drink coffee but I would love to do this foe hot chocolate ...it would be so cute! Thanks for stopping by and linking up to Centerrpiece Wednesday! You always share such fabulous ideas and photos!
ReplyDeleteKarin
Your blog and ideas here always amaze me! Thank you so much for sharing your creativity here! Happy Friday to you...now off to have coffee with the girl friends.

ReplyDeleteWell, Yvonne this is beyond fabulous! We are big coffee drinkers here, but I'm going to have to "fancy" it up a bit now, lol.
ReplyDeleteI love this! Now if only I could find a stand like that...
ReplyDeleteLike. :) Enjoying my morning coffee this quiet morning except of coure for the road crew milling our street outside my window. Of course it was the first morning in awhile cool enough to sit on the porch. Skipping that today. Have a good one!
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely gorgeous!! I don't actually drink coffee but I still need one!!
ReplyDeleteMmmmmm…..morning coffee. Nothing better, IMO! Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteMuy rico parece el café y la manera de presentarlo.Gracias......
