Coffee Cart, Round Top, the Designer | January 18, 2013

Coffee Cart at Home

The want for a coffee cart in our kitchen at home probably started at Tiny’s No. 5.  Their coffee station has everything in one spot available for us to help ourselves.  Practical, functional and so good lookin:

Then I ran across this on Pinterest and the want turned into have to have, it looked so convenient and nice to have everything off the kitchen counter:

Savvy City Farmer

The have to have only got worse while browsing vacation options and I ran across this:

The Wauwinet – Continental Breakfast

Then dreams came true when I found this cart out at Blue Hills in Round Top, Texas.  The gold knobs on the silver body first caught my eye, loved it!  It had rails on three sides, a towel bar on one side and it was on wheels, perfect for a beverage cart!  They said it came from a hospital, do you see the potential?:

Here it is in our kitchen, finally set up and ready for the sun to rise!

It’s going to be great to have everything all in one place and off the kitchen counter.  This stuff gets used all day long so it might as well stay out.  On the top we have a basket of K-Cups, oatmeal, hot chocolate, napkins and to-go cup tops, the sugar canister and a cup of wood stirrers and paper straws.

Here’s the best part: Our sugar spoon.  My cousin found it at the Nutcracker and it makes me smile every morning.  The hand stamped spoon says “stir me right round baby” and I can’t help busting out in song every time I use it.  To see the artists full collection go here on Etsy.

About our coffee maker:  An Insta-Hot was always so great to use at the office and I always wanted one at home.  My dream kitchen will have an instant hot water faucet at the sink.  For now, our new Keurig has an option for hot water so we use it for oatmeal and hot tea as well as coffee, tell it to your neighbor!

We still value a pot of coffee so our old coffee maker is still on the counter in the corner, but it might be going away soon.

The cart has a divided drawer to store all this great stuff:

And lastly, the bottom shelf,  I stole this basket tray (it’s on sale right now) from our coffee table and it’s great for coffee cups and oatmeal bowls.  The cart needed a little warm texture to steer clear of industrial, so the baskets do the trick.

“Kaffetåren den bästa är av alla jordiska drycker.” – a traditional Swedish saying.  Translation: “A cup of coffee is the best of all the world’s drinks.” 


The Service Series will continue next post.

  • Everyday Outfits: Workout Wear Edition
    I rarely buy workout wear. I think it’s because I find it difficult to find cute stuff, and I’d rather buy cute “real” clothes. But when I saw all the cute workout wear on the SAKS website, I knew I wanted to share it with you for this months SAKS collaboration.  I ordered a whole […]

@spicepaperdesigns packaging makes me happy happy, @spicepaperdesigns packaging makes me happy happy, indeed! 🤩 I have volunteer gig next week with @stagnesacademy and I’ll need a clipboard for it. So I ordered from my favorite clipboard maker, SPDs,  and Becca did something different with the design in the corner and I like it a lot! 😍

While we were in Cabo we got a call from home that While we were in Cabo we got a call from home that our garage door broke and wouldn’t close. This can be a dangerous situation because it’s a heavy piece of woodwork, the cord can snap and the door can fall! @mygoodsmith was our hero, came over early Saturday to assess the situation and make sure our kids were safe by staying away from it. 🙏🏼 Then their Garage Door Partner was out a few hours later and fixed it! 😅 All of this happened while we were relaxing on a beach 1,000 miles away from home! Thank you @mygoodsmith and Morgan Booth for coming to the rescue! 😃

I like to save my Nordstrom Notes and use them tow I like to save my Nordstrom Notes and use them towards a bag. I’m not sure when this tradition started but I like it! 😃 This time I needed a new bag for travel and this tote has been perfect! Everything fits in here, even my laptop! It’s so squishy and soft, I could take a nap on it. 😴 And it has a removable pouch big enough to hold a change of clothes and flip flops just in case. I appreciate all the details, you’ll have to check them out in the next photos: the red on the edge of the leather, the yellow stitching and the hot pink interior. 😍 If you’re needing a new tote, check this one out through the link in my profile 👉 @tellittoyourneighbor. And if you’re not in the market, check out my aerial photos I took from the airplanes. It’s my in-flight entertainment! 📸 Let me know if you spot your office building, your favorite hotel, your local elementary or maybe your house! 👀 Thank you!!
