Rustic Coffee Bar Decor

When it comes to decorating for that rustic farmhouse style, I like to take an everyday item and make it into something amazing! Today, I'm going to show you how to set up a coffee bar on your kitchen counter. At Charming Square we sell a handmade, long centerpiece box stained in dark walnut. This will become the shelf to set up our coffee bar. You do not need to take up a lot of space to enjoy this look. I simply turned the box on it's side. Inside the opening I placed 5 coffee cups. I used a coffee sign on the top with a cow creamer and Mason Jar. Added some cute accessories, like Scrabble letters and greenery.

Here are some other ways to display using our centerpiece box.

FRENCH COUNTRY HUTCH DIY

This traditional style hutch was here when we bought our house. It originally had a mirrored back. At first, this didn’t bother me too much until Pinterest happened. It seemed like everyone was chalk painting their hutches. I didn’t want to change the whole look, but I did want to get rid of the dated mirrored back. So what do you think I did? Chalkboard paint baby! This small investment in an $11.00 paint was worth a shot. It was scary at the first coat of paint because it looked like it wasn’t going to work. I decided to press on. Guess what? It worked! I will take at least 3 coats of paint. The next step was to take the glass out of the doors so I could view the decorations better. Here are a few close up photos of my decor.

WINTER FARMHOUSE KITCHEN DECOR

Christmas has come and gone. Now is the time to change up the decor. I thought I would start with my recent purchases from Hobby Lobby. I changed the theme from Christmas Lodge to a baking theme. I brought in my large farmhouse sign over the window to start. I hung a rolling pin, cutting board and old sifter on my handmade wall rack. Behind it lays a rag garland. Added some green branches with pine cones in the mason jars. Above that is my fresh baked cookies sign. My rustic ladder at the end of the wall with some baskets and such. I finally got a tiered tray that has a s’mores theme to it. Jars filled with chocolate chips, Golden Grahams and mini marshmallows. Two garland wreaths and handmade marshmallows on sticks. A tablecloth and ruffled runner to complete this look. This should get me through the winter season until I add some Valentine’s Day decor in February.

DIY DISTRESSED KITCHEN DOORS

I have a white bi-fold door in my kitchen that is screaming for a change! I wanted to do something different but I wasn’t sure exactly what? I had some black chalkboard paint on hand so that will do. When I begin a project I never really plan it out, and sometimes it works out. I just begin with a foam sponge and start in the corners then back through each slat. After this was done, I started to sand in spots to give it a distressed look. Now it looks okay but not really the worn look I was hoping for. I had some light grey acrylic craft paint. I started to go over each slat again. This gave it a softer color. I went back and sanded in random spots. Sometimes just painting a door can be the key to creating something dramatic.
