Did you sing the post title to the tune of “Hot hot chocolate” from The Polar Express? Am the only one that can’t hear the word hot twice in a row without bursting into that song? Well, I just thought I’d show y’all (yes, I’m southern.) the quick little coffee station I put together in our kitchen. I’ve loved the hot chocolate bar ideas on Pinterest for some time, but I didn’t want something so elaborate as most of them.
I moved our coffee pot to this small counter beside our fridge, & then I stood in my kitchen looking around (literally, I kind of went in circles a few times.) for containers to store the coffee, sugar, & peppermint marshmallows. The marshmallow jar is from the Dollar Tree! I love that style of jars, but they’re so expensive at specialty stores. The porcelain jars that look like cans are from West Elm clearance last year. One of the tabs broke in shipment, & I’ve glued it once. Need to do that again. The large one is coffee, & the small one is sugar. The silver tray they are on is from The Dollar Tree. My DIY chalkboard is another Dollar Tree tray (I actually found this one at Goodwill.) that I spray painted with chalkboard paint. I may have stood over there admiring the setup this morning for an abnormally long time… It does look even prettier in the light of day!
I love it! It’s such a cute little nook. I’ll bet you find yourself wanting coffee twice as often just so you can enjoy it. 🙂
Thanks, Sarah! I agree. It will just tempt me all the more. 🙂
