When I was a sophomore in college at Liberty University, I started drinking coffee for the first time. Before then, I would occasionally drink the fancy drinks like consisting of solely sugary frappucinos. But once the reality of college set in, the research papers, intense finals, and hours of homework taking place in the middle of the night, I adapted my taste buds to the beautiful thing that is COFFEE. I’ve come a long way and can drink it any way you give it to me now, with the exception of black, because let’s be honest…I’ve got nothing to prove.
With that being said, when we bought our house, the very first thing I got finished as far as home projects go, was our brand spanking new COFFEE STATION! I got my inspiration via Pinterest (because who is creative on their own anymore?) and made this dream a reality.
My friend Chelsea and I painted the wall behind it a nice mocha accent color, and my handy-man father-in-law installed an outlet behind the cabinet. After that we were ready to put everything together!
My sweet grandmother got us the Keurig as our housewarming gift and I started picking up all the other pieces of the station a little bit at a time!
The wire shelf, the underneath baskets, and the decor came from the wonderful world of Hobby Lobby. The table came from Home Goods, and the canisters were found at IKEA! I absolutely LOVE how it turned out, and it was definitely worth the investment because we use it Every. Single. Day. I love how it completes our kitchen and acts as a nice transition area between the breakfast area and the living room. Perfect for easy access to coffee in the morning, and a nice cup of tea for lounging on the couch at night! If you’re thinking of creating a coffee station in your home, I highly recommend it! It’s probably going to be in every home of ours from now on. Mmmm….coffee 🙂

That’s awesome, love it!! I think I’d do that if I had the room for it.
Thank you! We just happened to have the perfect wall for it but I’m sure with a few alterations you could make it fit in a different sized space! Let me know if you try it!
Love this idea, the shelf is great. What is it called. I went on to hobby lobby site and could not find.
Thank you!
I’m not sure what it’s called. It’s in their “metal” section. I suggest getting it with the 40% off coupon or waiting until their metal goes on sale 50%! I originally found it on the website and then went to my local Hobby Lobby and they had it in their home decor metal signs/shelving section. Let me know if you find it!
I did a search for “shelf” on the Hobby Lobby website and found it:
http://shop.hobbylobby.com/products/metal-and-wood-shelf-with-baskets-and-7-hooks-263558/?OrderItemId=16010048
It’s perfect for my kitchen! I’ve been looking for just the right thing for ages now. Thanks so much for sharing where you purchased it :o)
I love the way you designed your coffee bar. Very unique!
On sale now! I just bought it and am so excited to put our coffee station together!!! Thanks for the inspiration!
I’m so glad you were inspired! Nothing like a little java to freshen up the home!
Rachel, here is a link to the shelf at Hobby Lobby. http://shop.hobbylobby.com/products/metal-and-wood-shelf-with-baskets-and-7-hooks-263558/
Where did you get your table/stand(whatever its called). I love it!
Thank you! I got the table from Home Goods! Their stuff usually filters out pretty quickly but usually they always have similar styles. The baskets underneath I got separately at Hobby Lobby. They didn’t come with the table.
Great idea .. How tall is the table ? Is it counter height ?
Thanks Carol! The table a couple inches shorter than counter height. I think it’s meant to be an entry way table.
I just did this this morning … I used and old book shelf and added baskets – didn’t have to shop I just used stuff I had around the house … My husband liked it very much and it cleared up counter and cabinet space ! Thanks for the inspiration
Carol that’s so great! I love it when you can repurpose things around the house and don’t have to spend any money. I’m glad you were able to make it work!
Love your coffee station and the entire idea…I even LOVE the color of the wall it is on. Could you share the paint name? Thanks
Kandy,
I’m so sorry it took me so long to respond to you! I’ve been trying to find the paint color name! I found the color on Pinterest at http://decorchick.com/shades-of-grey/
I just asked the employees at Sherwin Williams to give me a paint sample with the code she has taken a picture of and it was the perfect amount for that wall. They told me that it would look a little different if I were to get it in the exact sheen that was listed on her receipt, but since I was painting such a small space I decided to risk it and I’m still totally pleased with how it came out!
How perfect! I also graduated from Liberty University. I just got married in April and my husband and I were searching Pinterest for coffee bar ideas and stumbled upon your’s! Small world 🙂
Megan! It is such a small world. That’s awesome. I’m glad you stumbled upon my blog and I hope you got some good ideas for your coffee station!
Weird question…. We totally have the same shelf from Hobby Lobby (LOVE that place) but I can’t hang it up 😦 it seems to need studs and ours must be too far apart or something. Lol how did you hang your? Any special tips? Thank you and I adore your coffee bar!!
Jolene,
It’s such a great shelf! My husband actually hung it (he’s the handy man, I just tell him where it goes) and he said he had to anchor both sides and then screw it into the anchors so that it would hold. It’s a heavy shelf and then if you’re adding stuff to it you’ve gotta make sure it won’t fall! I hope that helps cause its just too great a shelf to not be able to use!
Finally got it up earlier this week! It took a lot more work than I thought (I think we have the worst walls in the worlds!). We did have to anchor one side and I moved it over so we could hit a stud for the other side. Loving it so far 🙂 Not to mention I am getting to decorate AND my hubby got me new, bigger, coffee mugs! Yay! Thanks for getting back to me.
Jolene that’s so great! I’m glad you were able to make it work! All the work pays off when you get to use it every day AND it’s pretty to look at 🙂 and yay for new coffee mugs! Way to go, hubby!
I love it, you have totally inspired me to do this!!! I love coffee so this is perfect. I have a question? What is that kind of table called and how tall is it? Thanks so much!!! Looks awesome!
Missy,
I’m not sure if the table has a specific name, but if I were to categorize it is say it was technically an entry way table. It’s counter height, so about 42″. Hope that helps! Good luck!
Thank you so much for your reply! 🙂 Hope to find one 🙂 Do u know approx. how deep it is? Have a great day! Thanks again so much for your reply!
Absolutely! It is about 15″ deep I believe. Hope you find one! Good luck!
This is so wonderful! I have got to get one set up in my house. I can drink coffee all. day. long. 🙂
I know right?! It’s always a good time for coffee!
Out of curiosity, what do you have in the canisters, drawers & baskets? I love this idea, but have no room in the kitchen…we do have space in the bedroom though…
Heidi,
In the canisters I have raw sugar, coffee grounds, apple cider mix, and tea bags. In the draws I have K-cups, extra tea bags, honey, and extra coffee grounds. And in the baskets underneath I have more storage for my extra K-cups I’ve bought in bulk, or coffee filters, boxes of sugar, etc. so whenever I run out up top, I just refill from the bottom! It makes it very handy without having to store those things in my pantry.
Well I have had no luck finding anything close to this 😦 would u do me a big favor? Give me the exact measurements as I am going to just have a little table like this built. Thanks so much!! H X W X D thanks in advance sorry to be a bother. You have been so helpful!!!
I’d love to give you the measurements! I’m on vacation until the 18th so when I get home I’ll take care of that for you!
perfect! Thanks so much! Enjoy your vacation and I look forward to hearing from you.
Hi Missy,
We just measured the coffee station cabinet. It’s 34″ H x 15″ D x 32.5″ W. Hope that helps!
I went to hobby lobby and they still have the shelf waiting on it going on sale should be next week. I am so making a coffee station thanks sooooooo much love it.
Definitely get it on sale! I wouldn’t pay full price for it 🙂 I’m so glad you’re going to get it and make yourself a coffee station! You won’t regret it! So fun!
What color paint is on the wall in the coffee bar pic
Hi Rachel, I got the Sherwin William’s code from this website: http://decorchick.com/shades-of-grey/
It was matched from another brand, so there is no specific name for it. But if you take the code from this website, you’ll be able to take it to Sherwin Williams and have it matched for you!
Love this! Where did u get the hanging coffee mugs. Looking for something light like this 🙂
Hi Missy, the mugs themselves or the shelf they are hanging on? The mugs are from Macy’s as a part of a dining set and the shelf is from Hobby Lobby in their metal section! Hope that answered your question!

Love the coffee nook! I love the monogram R, I think I have a monogram R in just about every room in my home!
It’s a good one!
Love This! What color is the wall?
Lauren, I’m sorry I’m just now getting back to responding to you. The wall color is a custom color, matched at sherwin williams. It didnt have a specific name! Im sorry!
Does anyone know if HomeGoods still carries this table? Or any other company with a similar design?
This is my coffee station, found the table at Walmart, LOVE it!

That is my before and after!
Love it Dawn! Looks so good!
Jenn, I’m not sure if they do but ita definitely worth a look. Other places that carry similar styles are TJMaxx, Marshalls, and even Target. I hope you find what you are looking for!
very cute! when I seen this, I told myself that this is my next project. the downside is, I don’t have a handyman to put a socket plug. but, I will surely figure something out:) thanks for the great idea!
You’re welcome!
This came into my feed, and then I got side-tracked… looking at a BUNCH of coffee bars. Yours is the best – out of – let’s say- a hundred or so! It is pleasing to the eye, it is welcoming and (important!) functional. Reasonably priced and not a week long project. Kudos! I really like it. NOTE: I’M NOT A COFFEE DRINKER! Hahaha!
But my husband and most of our guests are, so I do have them a space on my counter 🙂
But this might inspire me to make it pretty. Thanks for a great look, well done.
Where id you get the shelving thing above the table from?
Hobby Lobby when their metal section was 50% off!
I am in love with this coffee station. I’ve been on the hunt for something similar in my kitchen. How long ago did you purchase the table ?
I’m so glad you found it! We love it and use it alllllll the time. I bought the table about two years ago at home goods. I’m sure you could find something similar there or tj maxx or hobby lobby! Good luck!

Where did you get that table I have been looking everywhere for something similar and just can’t find anything! Please help
Hi Marisol! I actually got the table at Home Goods a few years ago. Check there or hobby lobby and hopefully they’ll have something similar!
Terrific idea, I am about to move into a kitchen with no counters 🙂
That is so cute and your kitchen looks beautiful!! I would love to see pics of the rest of it!!

I’ve been looking to do something like this! I love the idea and your execution is beautiful. We don’t have much extra space. Do you know the dimensions of your table?
This is such an awesome idea! I feel like our Keurig takes up half our counter space, along with the creamers and coffee, etc. And in our house counter space is hard to come by. I wish we had the room for this! I will certainly keep something like this in mind when we go to purchase our house next year! Thank you so much for posting!
My husband and I are painting our new house. And I was wondering what color of paint is behind your coffee stand?
I can’t remember, let me see if I can find it!
