Hello, I'm so thrilled you have stopped by to say G'day today! If you are new here welcome to Natasha in Oz, my little corner of the internet world Down Under. If you are an old friend, Welcome Back!
I have had such a great week this week thanks to my new Beverage Station!
I have been able to enjoy my morning coffee piping hot for a change; I am usually rushing around making lunches and preparing breakfast for everyone and then drinking it cold!

So, on the subject of coffee, today I am sharing a small change I've made in our kitchen. I've recently been inspired by some of the wonderful coffee stations that I've seen on Pinterest and I thought I should do a little faffing and try and set up my own.
Do you have a coffee station at your place?

Here's some of the images that really inspired me.
This is my dream coffee station!
Idea and image from the amazing and talented Yvonne @ www.stonegableblog.com
Here's how my Beverage station used to look!
Boring....
Here's my new and improved Beverage Station!
Boring....
Here's my new and improved Beverage Station!
I only had a very small area that I could use for my coffee bar but, as you can see, I was still able to set up an efficient coffee station quite easily.
Cups and saucers are all stored in the drawer below.

I used a vintage silver sugar and creamer set which looks perfect with my pretty Cath Kidston spoons.
I love my new Beverage Station!
So, next time you're in the neighborhood be sure to stop by and I'll make you a cuppa!
Please be sure to come back on Sunday to join me for the Sundays Down Under linky party!
Before I go I just want to thank my Dad who is a Vietnam Veteran for all he did for us and for our country this ANZAC day weekend.
Thank you dad!
Best wishes until next time,
Very cute - LOVE those spoons!!
ReplyDeleteHi, Natasha! I'm so glad to hear you had a lovely day off. I love my coffee super hot as well and usually wait until I'm alone and settled to sit down with that first cup! Ahhhh!
ReplyDeleteI would love to have a coffee station, I very much like the one in the second image. Yours is terrific, it's nice spot to keep everything handy and it looks attractive.
Hope all is well with you and your family!
XO,
Jane
I think I will take one of each. I love them all :) Angela @ HickoryTrail
ReplyDeleteLove your coffee station, Natasha, and all the ones you've featured. xo
ReplyDeleteGreat post, thanks! I like your coffee station, along with all of those you featured. I have a 'sort of' cs, but I'm becoming more inspired to spruce it up and feature it.
ReplyDeleteI definitely need to come over for another coffee after seeing your new coffee station. Looks great and I like the little bird/text overlay you did on your photos. Clever.
ReplyDeleteGreat inspiration and I love what you did with yours. I'd love to stop by for a cup. Wish I could!

Love your kitchen colors and your new beverage station -BTW those teacups on your header are just like a set my Nana had!
ReplyDeleteI've read this post about four times now and you're right! i NEED a coffee station! it should be a pleasant and relaxing affair not just a desperate measure to get through the next hour :) I shall get to it!
ReplyDeleteIt's so cute! And I have the exact same coffee maker. I have a sort-of coffee station, but I need to add some spoons and maybe some cups. I've been on the hunt for a good tray to use, too, but it's hard to find one big enough for that huge coffee maker. Well done!!
ReplyDeleteIt's very elegant...and I love the books next to it. It makes me want to sit down with a book, and a cuppa, and enjoy the slide into winter. :)
ReplyDeleteLove your beverage station and all the pictures for inspiration! I'm totally inspired to do this in my kitchen now. :) Thank you!!!
ReplyDeleteLove all your coffee bar ideas. I am trying to set something up, but haven't been successful yet. My biggest problem is my DH is such a messy coffee drinker that I need something to protect my counter tops at the same time. I have tried trays, placemats so far. Still haven't got the perfect solution.
ReplyDelete*Smiles*
Your station is lovely! It fits right in w/your selections - so you did a great job!
ReplyDeleteI've opened my Google blog once more. (Rolling my eyes ... I know. I know.)
Anyway - I enjoyed stopping by and thinking about a cuppa w/ya. G'Day and Hey Y'all! ;)
Jenn
love it. What brand is that nice looking coffee maker???
ReplyDeleteI've done something similar. Its a nice way to contain spilled sugar. Very cute set up you have!
ReplyDeleteThis is stunning, I am so glad to have found you today. If you get a chance, please share this on my linky party: http://suburbsmama.blogspot.com/2013/04/sunday-link-party-5.html

ReplyDeleteI like your coffee station-a fab idea
ReplyDeleteLove it!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! I love it!
ReplyDeleteG'day mate! Love your idea and can't wait to get one started myself.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great little nook! Don't you just love using Pelligrino for styling! I would love for you to come link up to my party and follow along! http://alivedinhome.blogspot.com/2013/04/get-social-sunday_28.html

Oh I so wish I had a little station of my own... love! Thanks for sharing this week at Monday Funday!
ReplyDeleteTake care,
Trish
So much inspiration to choose from. I love your coffee station, such a great idea. Thanks for joining Inspire Me. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteIt looks wonderful! Those little spoons are adorable; but I'm bowled over with your drawer -- is that the IKEA drawer organizer system? I know they have one, but I can't remember for sure what it looks like. Wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by Carol and for your sweet comment! The drawer system isn't an Ikea one; it's from Blum but I'm certain that Ikea do exactly the same same thing. It is such a great way to keep everything organised!
DeleteHope you have a great week and thanks again for visiting!
Best wishes,
Natasha
Thats fantastic!!! I just posted a coffee bar upcycle that I made for a friend!!!!

Your beverage station is so pretty! I have a new weekly link party which is live now and I would love if you stop by and link up this wonderful post! Hope to see you there! http://mariaelenasdecor.blogspot.com/ Hugs, Maria
ReplyDeleteHi there! Just found your blog on Twirl&Take a Bow.. Cute idea. Coffee addict here - and every morning/afternoon/evening I lug out all the different containers to make the coffee and then they sit around on the counter (annoying me) - and then I put them away, again and again. I need to do this! I have the perfect spot too. Thank you! :)
ReplyDeleteFabulous! I would love to organize a coffee station too - great idea!! Thanks for sharing it. Looks like you have a stunning kitchen in general:)
ReplyDeleteKrista
Your former station is how mine looks now! Same coffee maker! I like all of these ideas!
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up to my party! Hope to see you again next week!
ReplyDeleteLove that little station! Those spoons are gorgeous ... where did you get them? Thanks for linking up at Project Inspire{d}!
ReplyDeleteLOVE your coffee station! I recently did up a little corner too, but nothing too fancy yet. I need more space! Stopping by from the Wow Me Wednesday link-up.
ReplyDeleteDanielle at Framed Frosting

ReplyDeleteThis looks amazing Natasha! Love how you've grouped your items for your beverage station - you sure did find some wonderful inspirations - I do appreciate you sharing with Home and Garden Thursday,
ReplyDeleteKathy
I have pinned some of those coffee stations myself! Iv been planning to set up a coffee station in my new kitchen (we ripped the old kitchen out over the Anzac break so have about 4 weeks to wait now!). Everything looks better on a tray too keeps it tidy and organised yours looks really good. Love the cute spoons too :)
ReplyDeleteThis looks great Natasha.
ReplyDeleteThank you for joining Home Sweet Home.
