If you have been following along with our French Country cottage fixer-upper, then you may remember the breakfast nook looked like this!

Which now looks like this by the way!

If you missed the breakfast nook reveal, then check it out here.

Back to the before shots.  The wall on your right in the above picture is where the coffee bar is going to go.  Hi sweet Lily girl!

Ok one more angle.  Get the picture?  It is going on the short wall on the other side of the family room.

Our finished coffee bar! Which happens to be decorated for Christmas at the moment.

We built out that wall by a couple of inches to make this a 42-inch wall. 

I designed it with two 9 inch cabinet bases flanking a set of 24 inch wide drawers.  I absolutely LOVE these vintage copper knobs and pulls.  

See those wooden shelves?

Remember when Zach and I picked up a bunch of 150-year-old barn beams? 

Well, we have gotten great use out of them including those floating wooden shelves in our coffee bar!

We used them to frame our open-concept master closet here.

A great DIY is this Super Easy No Wire Under Cabinet Lighting Solution.

Another easy DIY is this pallet coffee rack. If you missed the tutorial on How to Add a Pallet Mug Rack to Any Kitchen Cabinet then read it here!

We use this rack every day.  See that antique window frame?  That came from the Victorian fixer upper .  It was an original window from the garage that used to be a carriage house.

The machine on the left is our amazing Lattisima Plus Automatic Espresso machine.  LOVE THIS espresso maker.

If you missed my post on how to make these creamy and delicious lattes and espresso at home with the touch of a button, then read it here!

If you have been following our family’s adventures, then you know we are incredibly blessed to be in the process of adopting. 

That coffee you see there is from an amazing organization called GoBena, and we have been privileged to be able to partner with them! 

If you love coffee and want to help bring an orphan home to his forever family, then we would be honored if you would check out our family’s story.

A rose from our gorgeous coral color rose bushes makes everything prettier!

This tin was actually a planter, but it has worked beautifully for all of our hot chocolate packets. 

I love the Keurig coffee maker for guests, because they can easily make hot chocolate with the hot water function.

This vintage percolator was an Ebay find, and I use it when we have large parties.  It adds that lovely French flair to a farmhouse-style pallet!

When we have guests I will add a little peppermint or caramel syrup to the lattes we make with the automatic espresso machine that I mentioned above.   

I just wrapped them with fabric and labeled them.  I wash them out and refill them as needed.

That antique cream and sugar set was Zach’s grandmother’s, and I get them down every time we have company and set them by the coffee machines.

Coffee and Jesus.  Amen.  I hope you found some coffee bar inspiration today!!  Now go refill that mug and enjoy another cup of coffee!!
