| The photo on the left shows how the buffet looked with a "apron curtain" across the front The photo on the right shows how it looks now with the new curtain that I made from the fabric that I am using throughout the kitchen. You may remember the apron curtain hanging in the kitchen window earlier, well, it didn't work out there...lol! I couldn't see outside and the curtain hung right behind the kitchen faucet and was in the way. It was on a tension rod, so when I took it down, it was easily put into place on the buffet until I could get the new one made. |
 |
| The "traveling curtain" is now over the stove.......who knows where it will show up next! |
 |
| The Hoosier sets to the side of the coffee station and we have been using it as a "toast" station for a long time. Kyleigh has toast every morning for breakfast. Sometimes I also have biscotti or donuts out for a treat. |
 |
| The Hoosier makes a perfect "garage" for the toaster, bread, and jelly.....just roll the top down when you're done and it covers everything up for a clean look. |
 |
| I have never bought anything from Amazon, but my daughter does all the time. When I mentioned that I would like to have a pink coffee pot, she had me one ordered and on the front porch in two days! |
 |
| I have several sizes of coffee mugs hanging on the French drying rack and an assortment of flavored coffee creamers. |
 |
| I have a drawer under the Hoosier to hold extra coffee supplies. The white dish drainer holds potato's....I know potato's don't fit the coffee theme, but that's what I store there! There is a big white enamel pot sitting to the side of the Hoosier that holds extra bread, English muffins, biscotti, and croissants. |
 |
| Since we took out the table and chairs , H built a breakfast bar at the end of the island just in case we want to sit in the kitchen for a quick bite. |
 |
| I have a coffee candle or three....hehehe...in the kitchen. |
 |
| I like to set my candles in a "bed' of coffee beans. The heat from the candle heats the beans and intensifies the aroma of coffee. The kitchen smells like Starbucks.....and I am not paid to say that! |
Penny,

Hi, Penny! I've been following your blog for a little while now and have seen a lot of your posts linked to the same parties I join. I love looking at your home and I love what you have done to your kitchen. The window curtain is beautiful and I like that they were a DIY. It reminds me of a vintage doll house I always wanted! Your husband must love pink and you're lucky because I could never get away with a pink coffee maker! :) Great coffee station.
ReplyDeleteI am just loving that pink coffee pot--and it makes me want coffee reading your post!
ReplyDeleteI have been thinking of making a stand alone coffee bar too. Yours is delightful and makes me think of a Bed & Breakfast. The pink coffee pot is fabulous and I want to try your special tip of a candle cradled in coffee beans! Thank you for being you.
ReplyDeletePenny, I love that you have had so much fun with your kitchen and have made it so hospitable! What a lovely scene from your kitchen window! Enjoy your snowy day. :)
ReplyDeleteOh I love the whole presentation. I was wondering if you painted your cabinets white and how you did it.
