DIY: Cafe Corner

There has been a corner of our kitchen that's been crying out for some serious TLC. Per usual, the Pinterest gods answered my prayers with a fun and easy way to spruce up our sad little corner. I saw this pin that was originally pinned from here - and the lightbulb went on!

I decided to take our coffee pot and single cup coffee maker and relocate them to create a cafe corner. This was doubly awesome because it freed up counter space (where the coffee maker once sat) and cabinet space (where the mugs and cream and sugar used to be).

I bought the ledge with hooks (which fit my favorite teas perfectly) at Homegoods and the wall letters are from Hobby Lobby.

The before picture below was taken when we still had all of the beautiful holiday cards that we received on display in the arched entryway of our kitchen.

The best part, was enjoying my first cup of coffee from our no longer sad cafe corner.
