Happy Thursday lovelies!
This week is kind of kicking my booty, so to speak. We are having major issues with our flooring in our new casa. It’s bad. It’s become such a fight and it’s really so much unnecessary stress. I am praying we come to a conclusion soon, because it has taken up way too much of our time and honestly, no one should have to deal with this two months or two years after moving into a house. I wish pictures would do it justice so you could see what’s going on with it, but it’s not as prevalent in photos.
Anywho, In the midst of the floor chaos and summer chaos, I am still trying like crazy to finish up the house. My kitchen is slowly coming together and the only thing I am now waiting on is our over the island lighting which has been on backorder. The manufacturer keeps changing the ship dates, so we are just waiting and wishing that they will get here soon. I cannot wait for them to get here because I LOVE them so much!!!!
The one area of my kitchen that is finished is my coffee and wine bar, so I decided to share it with you, today! This is a special little area to me. It’s the first place I head every morning when I get out of bed and typically, it’s one of the last places I check each night before bed. I always make sure that the water in my Keurig is filled and I make sure that I have a coffee cup out and waiting for me for the next morning.
This little area is one of my favorite spots in the house. I always try to keep fresh flowers there. Coffee and fresh flowers are pretty darn nice to wake up to, that’s for sure!
My wine fridge is located right under my coffeemaker, so this area can also be called “Ashley’s Essentials Area.” Of course my wine fridge is stocked with my fave, Picton Bay Sauvignon Blanc (available at Trader Joe’s)!
My Keurig turns on each morning at 5:30…I always intentions of waking up super early…lately, it has not been happening. Either way, I have hot water waiting for me when I do wake up and my coffee is seconds away from being brewed. The creator of the Keurig is a genius, by the way!
I hope you enjoyed this little glimpse into our new house and I hope to show more very soon. I am anxious to get this place completely finished. I have been wishing I could snap my fingers and do just that! 🙂
Details:
Jar (filled with coffee pods)
Jar (filled with peonies)
Knobs/Pulls (similar)
Love this! I have a similar little coffee corner (wish I had a wine fridge underneath too!!) and it’s special to me to because it’s the first place I go in the mornings!
What a perfect little area! I hope your floor issues get resolved soon! Can’t wait to see the lighting. You have such great style!
Thank you so much!!! The floors are such a bummer. I am hoping we have a resolution soon! xo!
I have your kitchen in my building binder I love everything about it. You did an amazing job getting it all together from the cabinets to the countertops. I am just obsessed with what I can see of you kitchen design so I cant wait to see the lighting.
I love the idea of a tray under the keurig for those days when I forget to place my cup underneath..yes that happened! Im going to have to add one to mine and I have the Keurig spinner for my Kcups but Im guessing the containter holds more than the spinner so that’s also something to thing about. I think you just need to build our home for us.I just get to nervous when it comes to picking everything out and I back out of it
Kelli! I feel you. I second guess every decision, change my mind and then, I usually go back and do what my original plan was! Ha! I would be happy to help with any selection questions, you have! I love doing this stuff! 🙂 Email me if you need help! xo!
looks very pretty! can’t wait to come visit and help you break in the wine fridge!
love you!
Happy almost friday!!!
I love this little spot in your home. We are a year or two out from building, but this is a must have spot in our new house!
Hi Ashley! Looks great! The peonies are amazeballs! Just curious about the tray! Does it kind of act as a safety net for coffee spills? Thanks!
Hi Lauren! I use it because I like how the coffeemaker looks on top of it. 🙂 It also catches coffee splatters too, so it’s a bonus in that department! 🙂
Beautiful space! I can see why it’s your favorite. Thanks for sharing! And, I’m so sorry to hear about your floors.
I love that area!! The coffee bar is a must in my casa too!
Love it! I’m definitely putting my k cups in a jar asap. So sorry about the floors momma.
I totally want to put mine in a jar now too!
Hey Ashley! I have been trying to reach you to share a product with you to review on your page! I would love to talk to you about It works body wraps! take a look at my page http://www.facebook.com/northshorewraps and let me know if would would like to try and review one! Ill send it out to you 🙂
Great minds think alike! In my coffee bar, next to my Keruig I also have the same jar for my coffee pods!
So pretty! Now all you need is my favorite Lindsay Letters print [http://behindthemask.me/1/post/2014/06/friday-favorites-calligraphy.html]! I’ve ordered it to sit by my Keurig which I also believe is a genius invention!!
