Coffee and Wine Bar

In "Another Chalk Paint Transformation" I showed you an old buffet that I transformed to use in the new house as my Coffee Bar. I'm ready to show you the finished project!

This is now one of my favorite places in the house.

I have room for my coffee maker and espresso maker. I have my coffee cups displayed and easily accessible. The drawers have plenty of storage for filters, coffee, spoons, etc.

My kids gave me this stencil for Christmas last year. I bought the chalkboard at Michael's and used Martha Stewart's Liquid Chalk to "paint" it. The chalk won't rub off, but is removable with water.

My son, @SmithBuilding, made this wine rack from pallet wood. A great place to display my hand painted wine glasses!

Another Chalk Paint Transformation

This is the before and after of what is going to be my coffee bar in the new house. Removing the door, replacing a couple of the drawers with baskets, and updating the hardware really spiffed it up!

The top of this piece isn't even wood. It's some kind of laminated surface. The chalk paint shows the brush strokes, but I like it that way! It just adds to the look.

I'm not going to show you what this looks like in the new house yet, because I'm not quite finished staging it. That will be for a future post....
