Our Farmhouse Corner Coffee Station

As avid coffee drinkers, we frequent our Keurig [if you don’t have one, a) where have you been? b) it’s time, my friend. go here].

Coffee has always been a part of our marriage; I grew to love it somewhere around college (I think drinking it made me feel like an adult – lol). My husband’s family always has a pot of coffee on when you visit their house and he pretty much drinks it non-stop while he is working. We both find comfort in a warm cup of coffee, and one of my favorite things to do on the weekend is have a cup while we make breakfast together or sit on the couch scrolling our various social media feeds. Coffee is just a big part of our life!

Unfortunately, the design of our kitchen isn’t exactly conducive to having a coffee setup, mainly because of a lack of counter space and low cabinets that leave little room for a coffee maker. So a while back, I moved our coffee over to the corner of our small dining area (which is right across from the kitchen). I began using a bar cart as our coffee station, but I quickly realized it wasn’t working out too well. So recently, I switched to the Threshold Windham Cabinet in Gray from Target.

I love how functional it is! The cabinet holds our canned goods (because we also have a very small pantry that they don’t fit in), as well as my onions and potatoes and wine glasses.

Our Keurig and coffee cups sit right on top, and there’s a shallow drawer right below to hold our K-cups. To protect the top of the cabinet from coffee spills, I use a large cutting board (the SMAATA from IKEA) under the Keurig and it works like a charm.

We’ve had shelves hanging in this corner since we moved in, and I move things around on them often. But most of the time, they hold my favorite cookbooks and our dessert plates, along with some decorative farmhouse items and serving ware (shop all these items at the bottom of the post).

What I love about our corner coffee station is that we don’t fumble over one another when we are trying to make coffee, because it’s just far enough away from the kitchen chaos! It also streamlines our morning; everything is in one place so we aren’t traveling all over the kitchen just to make a quick cup of coffee. Bonus: It’s great for when guests come to stay! They know exactly where and how to get a cup of coffee when they need one.

Lately we’ve been enjoying King Coffee, which is a Vietnamese Coffee with a really smooth finish. It fits right into our little cabinet below the Keurig and we fill up our reusable K-cups (these are our favorite) when the need for coffee arises.

This is just my favorite little corner in our kitchen, because it’s so inviting (mostly from the scent of freshly brewed coffee!). I love that I can change it up when I want to as well!
