my coffee corner

This morning I gave my little coffee counter a makeover. Things were looking a little dull + unloved, and certainly not-inspiring. A little bit of Washi tape turned that around quickly. :)
(Sorry these pictures didn't turn out better, that kitchen sure could use a little more light!)

Are you a coffee drinker? Since discovering my corn allergy I've made the switch from soda to coffee and I'm so glad I did. Coffee means no more sickness + a lot more happy! Plus, it's saving money to make coffee at home instead of relying on Starbucks for my caffeine kick. I drink 2-3 cups each morning with one spoonful of natural creamer + 3/4 of a spoonful of sugar. The weird thing? I never put sugar in my first cup. I think it's too much to handle first thing in the morning!

How do you take your coffee? (Or tea?)
xoxo, Eliza

I like my coffee with LOTS of chocolate creamer!!

I might have to try Washi tape on the hubby's tea area to make it a little prettier :)

I love the knitted coozy! too cute :) I have straight black coffee Monday-Friday (two cups in the morning and one after lunch - I should probably cut down) but on the weekends I add milk. guess I don't need it to be so strong when I don't have work!

Such a tea granny right here but still love my coffee! I take just some coffee never any sugar! Nice little spruce up :)

See, I don't like creamer, but I have to put at least two teaspoons of sugar in my coffee!

Black with sugar. And I love flavored coffee!

Oh boy, major coffee drinker right here. It's to the point where I think I need it to function each day... I only started drinking coffee when I was in architecture school so I could pull all-nighters. Now I'm hooked.

We make ours at home too because stopping by Starbucks each day really adds up... we're cream and raw sugar kind of coffee people. That's funny that you don't have sugar in your first cup. :)

Adorable!! I love that cozy little mug thingy! We don't have a spot for our coffee maker on the counter so it sits tucked away up high and I always wish for a cute coffee corner. Thanks for the inspiration for someday!

I'm definitely a coffee drinker! I have to have at least one cup in the morning to get me going! And I love trying out all the different creamers in my coffee! My sister-in-law uses a snickerdoodle one which is absolutely delicious!

I used to sweeten my coffee with store bought liquid creamer. But I've stopped doing that and have started to drink almond milk with coffee. This way I don't have to add additional sugar. And I'm really liking my morning coffee better.

It looks much peppier!:)
I do drink coffee, although I haven't been able to get the hang of normal coffee pots.
Hubs bought me a Verismo for Christmas- it's easy & oh so tasty! I use Starbucks syrups.

Love,

Cute coffee corner! I very rarely drink any myself, and when I do, it's usually in the form of a cold blended drink.

So cute :)

I usually take my coffee at home with a lot of non-dairy creamer and sugar or a flavored creamer (a good cup of coffee for me is the same color as my khakis!), but if I'm at a coffee house, I'm all about some mochas.

OMG! Washi tape on the fridge is brill. I need to do this because our fridge is only magnetic on the sides, not on the front. Can't wait!
