Love Your Space Challenge #11: Set Up a Tea/Coffee Station {free printable}

Set Up a Tea/Coffee Station
This challenge is centered around the idea of letting our kitchen’s organization work for us. If you already enjoy using a tea/coffee station, just scroll down to the bottom for the free printable.
Option 1: This would be ideal, right? Gorgeous tea canisters, espresso machine, glass shelving….
Option 2: If you want your tea station in another room or have an extra bar cart lying around…..
Option 3: Cute little tray to corral your tea items on your counter top.
(You have to check out this link from Vintage Pretty Pearl. She has the prettiest plate display on her kitchen wall!)
Option 4: If you prefer not to have your items out on display, an organized drawer will store things nicely.
My outcome: A tray to corral my tea cups, spoons, and honey that sits directly under my tea cabinet and conveniently by the kettle on the stove. Perfect!
My gift for all of you! A free printable“Keep Calm, It’s Tea Time.” (created as an 8×10)
I think it IS time, catch you later alligator,
I love how you organized your space! I’m also in love with your mugs, where did you get them?
Thanks Teresa! All of my mugs were Christmas and Birthday gifts (which happens to be the same day). My teacups on the counter are from Pier1 and the mugs in the cabinet I believe are all from TJ Max.
I love this!! A good cup of black tea with honey and a twist of lime puts me in my happy place! Now after seeing this I want a tea station! Lol
Mandi, that sound delicious. I’ve never tried lime before… Having a tea station sure makes it more fun to drink tea!
very cute!! I’m not a huge tea drinker, coffee is more me, but some of those teacups are just too precious!
Thanks Aria!! I love coffee too, I either use a French Press or we use our coffee pot on the weekends. I keep it all stored in the same cabinet. 😉 Thanks for coming by!
Think I’ll go make myself a pot of tea after seeing these beautiful setups.
Thank you! I hope you enjoyed one!! 🙂
Your tea area is so cute! I love the teacups too 🙂
Thanks Rachel! I love using it. I didn’t think it was possible but now I drink even more tea. LOL
Great ideas here, Kathy! I love the idea of a coffee bar in my home, though I know I would be the only person using it, as my husband is not a coffee-at-home person. It’s a gorgeous addition to the kitchen (or any room where it might be displayed, based on these photos!)… and I love how you incorporated a tray into yours!
Thanks Erin! It would be fun to have a cart set up in a sitting room or something for guests. I do have friends over for tea often. Before; my mugs, spoons, coffee and tea were dispersed all over the kitchen, this is much more convenient and cute. 😉 I appreciate your comments as always!!
I love what you did with your space! And thanks for the printable! I’m inspired to re-create something myself…. we shall see! LOL
Thank you, I love how it turned out and it so much easier having all of my tea/coffee items all together. Have fun re-creating!!
I love the idea of a tea tray. That’s so classy!
Thanks Dionne!! I think a tray makes anything classy!!! 😉
what a lovely web page 🙂 Do you have any free patterns for tea cozies? Thank you Linda
Thank you Linda! Tea cozies sounds like something crocheted or knitted, things I haven’t tried yet. 🙂 try looking here,http://www.pinterest.com/search/pins/?q=free%20patterns%20tea%20cozies
I have a Tea/Coffee Station so to speak between my kitchen and breakfast room … it is on an old solid maple chop block … Did this at Christmas time and love it … yours is very charming 🙂 Where did you find the Tea Spoons w/ cups on handle ? I have special ones from Wales, but sure like the ones you have w/teacups on them ….
How fun! I love that your tea spoons are from Wales. I found mine at a little tea shop in Swansboro NC. 🙂
Cute station! I love all your different mugs! My wife and I are obsessed with our espresso machine so we set up a little space for it in our dining area. I even made a painting to hang above it!
Nice! I bet it looks fantastic!
