Cozy Collected Coffee Bar • Robyn's Southern Nest

Yesterday I was looking at our coffee bar and I felt like it looked neglected. I originally was going to add cane webbing to the back side of the coffee bar, but the type I wanted was out of stock until August. I’m too impatient to wait that long. Plan B it is! We had a good amount of wallpaper from Wallpaper Direct left from the dining room project so I took the scraps and stapled them to the backside frame of the coffee bar. It took me all of 10 minutes. I love how cozy the coffee bar looks now!

I was looking for a paint can around our house for our painter, and I remembered seeing some under our crawl space. Low and behold it was the exact can I was looking for. So I gave it a good stir and used it to paint the shutters on the coffee bar. Its a custom color mixed by Sherwin Williams, called Historic Charleston Green. It’s what our front door and shutters are painted around our home.

Here’s what the shutters looked like before. I found these at Goodwill for $2 years ago and knew they would be perfect somewhere. I like the character they add. Even the missing slat is charming to me.

For those of you who may be new here, my husband found this display at a shop back in Georgia who was going out of business. It was a custom built piece with a tin roof, chicken wire backing and the sides are made from old windows. He knew it would be perfect for our coffee bar.

Add a lamp and you get instant coziness! Am I right?

The cabinets in our mudroom where the coffee bar is located are a bluish gray just like the ribbons in the William Morris wallpaper so I thought it would tie in nicely. If you love something why not use it somewhere else?

I love that this display looks like a potting station, so plants and greenery are a must! I’m propogating a few of my old plant clippings so it serves as both a propogation station as well as a coffee station.

Total cost for this project $0!! That’s a win in my book. I love challenging myself to update something without spending any $. Those are so rewarding!

Thanks for flying by!
