  1. Thanks for the coffee bar tips, Brenda! This Christmas for the first time I set up a hot beverage bar in our dining room and we're really enjoying it. It's nice to have everything for hot coffee, cocoa, cider or tea all in one area.

  2. This is wonderful! I also saw an idea in Romantic Homes Magazine for a hot chocolate bar, change it up for the grandkids. I love your cups and the beautiful cup rack. I've got some shopping to do.

  3. I love coffee bars. I love the ease of having it all in one place. I like looking at my pretty coffee related items. Just a happy way to start the day.

  4. I adore this tutorial. Sadely when my rent went up to 1600 I had to cut everything and that included coffee which I no longer can afford. I use bargain black tea and leave t h e coffee in the past. I do miss it. I,saw you are a finalist that is fantastic.

  5. I really like your coffee bar and the color of the dresser and the quilt go together perfectly! I have too much other stuff in my kitchen I think I need, so I don't have room for one. Wish I did.

    Congratulations!!! One of the five finalists in your category…fantastic!

  6. I am not a big coffee fan, Brenda, so I have never thought about a coffee bar…BUT my kids have become junkies and it is getting expensive. I think I need to set one up in the house. It will save me ton. Plus, I can't drink it, but I love the smell…that would be a bonus!

  7. I remember first reading about coffee bars on your blog years ago Brenda, and I thought to myself well that's cute, but where would I put it? At that time we lived in the condo on the coast, and had approximately 4 square feet of space, LOL.

    Then we moved to our house with more counter space, and now and tucked away in a little corner of one of the counters is my very own tea bar. I love the idea, and so do my guests. I've got different teas and strainers in antique mason jars and it's delightful.

    See, sometimes it takes a while, or things have to be moved around…but determination will always find a way.

  8. BTW, I have this sneaking fear that if I did get a lovely little coffee bar set up, I might just spend my entire day cozied up with one good book after another with a coffee in my hand! Whatever would my employer think when I didn't show up at work?

  9. I love your coffee bar! Really! The green of the 'bar' is also beautiful. I want to get one organized in my house here but along with a shortage of counter space, I seem to have just a plain ol' shortage of space. I need to get moving with some simple renovations in this little old house. One of the issues (other than almost zero kitchen counter space) is the lack of electrical outlets. It's difficult when one item needs to be unplugged to plug in another. But I must not whine anymore about first world problems!

  10. Brenda,
    Congratulations, girl! I just got an email announcing the top 5 blogs for the AMARA Interior Blog Award and Cozy Little House is one of the top 5. Now to get out the vote to WIN. So thrilled for you.

  11. You are so good at setting up coffee bars Brenda…i have liked every one that you have done…by the way…I got an e-mail today from Amara Interior Blog Awards saying that you are in the top 5 for your category…Congratulations my friend!

  12. Brenda,
    We need a coffee station, they are so charming and inviting.
    You have such a natural talent for making your home truly cozy and truly welcoming-it's a gift.

    1. I also need a coffee bar but there seems to be no room.
      I agree with Jemma that you have a special talent for making your home cozy. You have created several different coffee bars and each was magazine worthy.

  13. Love it! I have the same mug tree….and oh my, your mugs are adorable! I have some that are somewhat similar that I think I got in Pier One.

    And of course the coffee jar has a red lid. Why wouldn't it? 🙂

    I'm going to do the candle thing with the coffee beans – what a great idea.

    I even set up a second coffee station in the lower level for my daughter and for any guests. This way I can have my coffee upstairs in peace….that first cup is ever so important!

  14. We have done a coffee bar area on our kitchen counter for decades. Right now it's a bit out of whack since we purchased another small appliance that needed to use the coffee bar space. And so the coffee machine and grinder were moved to another area and the beans, measuring spoon, cups and filters are still in the old area. It's not perfect, but for now it works. xo

  15. Brenda, I love the way you have set this up and those cups are absolutely adorable!! I need to get a coffee bar set up on our counter. Where did you find your mug holder?? I've only seen the big ones and I need a small one like you have! 🙂

  16. Very cute, Brenda. I love your cups.If I drank coffee I'd set one up in a minute. Just set up a wine bar-mostly for Hubby.

  17. I love having all my coffee stuff together. The only thing I have to reach for is the milk in the fridge, but everything else is ready to go.

    You have always had the cutest coffee bar, no matter where you've lived, Brenda 🙂

    xo,
