Now that our kitchen remodel is just about finished (thanks a lot home water damage)……I'm having fun working on smaller home projects around our house.  I have to admit, when we moved into our San Diego home….I was so busy settling into the city that I didn't spend a TON of time settling into the house.  Now that we got to implement all the light grey kitchen ideas that we imagined and to see the area finally come to light…..I decided it was time to make the home coffee station of my dreams.  Honestly? I wasn't looking for anything intricate or fancy, just a simple area to make our morning cup (or cups) of coffee with a few fun home decor pieces.  Most of these items we had at home, and the rest? Really rounded out the space nicely.

Home Coffee Station

Planning your own at home coffee station? You'll need a fair amount of space…..either on your countertop or a rolling cart.  For us? I decided to use part of our counter space, since the black, white, and grey elements matched our kitchen perfectly.  I didn't want anything super cluttered, and we're a family of three (two grown up coffee drinkers)….so we didn't need a TON of coffee items accessible on a daily basis.  My plan? To rotate decor elements every now and again, maybe add a seasonal item or two.  But all in all? I just wanted a fun, clean area to make coffee.

This home coffee station is just adorable!

Home Coffee Station Elements

These simple elements are key for a functional home coffee station……everything you need to make a great cup of java a home.

Shop Coffee Station Elements: 

Keurig K Duo: We upgraded our coffee maker last year, and have never looked back.  The Keurig K Duo makes both individual cups of coffee and a carafe if you're making coffee for a group.

Mugs: Anyone else have a massive mug collection?  I stored most of mine in the cabinet about our home coffee station, but I'm going to rotate a seasonal one or two as part of the decor.

Storage Jars: These storage jars are what we are using to store kcups and sugar packets.  I love that they hide the clutter and match our vibe.

State Spoon Rest: This spoon rest actually moved with us from LA, and I love that it fits into our new coffee station.  It's available in every state, so a great way to customize your home coffee station!

Home Coffee Station Decor

I didn't want to add a TON of decorative elements to the coffee area, just enough to add a little pizazz.

Welcome Home Sign: This metal round Welcome Home sign is from Joyfully Said Signs, and I love it's unique style (they also make REALLY cute seasonal signs that I added to our console table in our entryway).  It's the perfect element to match our black pendant lights and really ties in the colors in the kitchen.

Gumball Machine: Yes, I gave in to the decorative gumball machine trend. I bought this painted version on Etsy, and decided it was the perfect place to store our organic sugar cubes.

Do you have a home coffee station in your home? What decorative elements should I add to ours?

🎉HAPPY REOPENING DAY TOONTOWN!!!!!🎉⠀ ⠀ W 🎉HAPPY REOPENING DAY TOONTOWN!!!!!🎉⠀⠀We loved visiting yesterday for a preview of this reimagined area.  It’s absolutely perfect for getting your wiggles out, having a picnic and yup……..getting your Disney feels fix.⠀⠀My top recommendations when visiting this new area?⠀⠀1) mobile order from Cafe Daisy…..we loved the pizza options and the cold brew⠀2) play play play in Goofy’s How-To-Play Yard, and inside his house…..⠀3) take the time to walk through Minnie and Mickey’s houses, you’ll probably see a surprise friend or two!⠀4) absolutely yes to the picnic basket from Good Boy! Grocer.  It’s a STELLAR price and a really fun experience to pick out your own snacks.⠀5) Mickey’s and Minnie’s Runaway Railway is a perfect full family ride.  I’d suggest trying for this earlier in the day if you can.⠀6) Keep an eye out for Pete, it’s so much fun to see him wandering the area.⠀⠀#Disneyland #Toontown #Mickey #Minnie #MMRR @disneyland @disneyparks invited guest
✨There’s something in my eye…….oh it’s j ✨There’s something in my eye…….oh it’s just pixie dust.⠀⠀When I think of Lydia’s earliest visits to Disneyland….I think of Toontown.  I think of Minnie’s House and meeting Mickey and playing next to Goofy’s House.  I think of the adorable landscape and the magic that the area creates for the youngest and the young at heart.⠀⠀✨Today we visited Toontown for a sneak peek before it’s reopening tomorrow…..and yup, that pixie dust definitely got in my eye.  More than once.⠀⠀Toontown is even more magical than it was (partially thanks to the addition of a cold brew on the menu at Cafe Daisy (good call Disney food and beverage team). ⠀⠀✨My favorite moments from today’s sneak preview?⠀1️⃣ we saw Pete. He’s even better than I’d hoped.2️⃣ I love love love the food options in Toontown! Highlights: the picnic basket snack option Good Boy! Grocers, the cold brew and a delicious gluten free fold over pizza (regular looked great too)3️⃣ the new play areas are amazing! Goofy’s How to Play Area is phenomenal and filled with a ton of new interactions. ⠀Happy reopening Toontown.  Can’t wait to see you again real soon. ⠀⠀Have you visited Toontown? Are you planning to come see all updates?⠀⠀#Disneyland #Toontown #Mickey #Minnie #MMRR @disneyland @disneyparks invited guest

There are people cheering you on…..and you don’t even realize it.I learned a LOT during the 7 months of training for this race.  I learned that I should stretch and warm up (thanks pulled muscle for that life lesson), I learned that small progress over time leads to achieving big goals.  I learned that sunshine and being outside makes me a happier person.  I learned that I’m more of an athlete than I thought I was. But most of all? I learned……there are a whole lot of people in your cheering section and you might not even know they’re sitting there.  After I pulled this muscle, I was amazed by the sweet and kind messages while I tried to prepare to run my first 10k with an injury.  But NOTHING prepared me for the ovwhelming amount of kindness and support that flooded into my inbox when I crossed the finish line.  From the early morning you can do this messages to the ones that came in throughout the race to the inspiring amount of support as I iced my pulled muscle…..it brought me to tears.And the amazing thing? When Jennifer and Lashawn and I found each other at the finish line….they said the same thing.  It’s not just me.  We all have a cheering section.  And wow, do they show up when you may not be expecting them.Got a big goal? Working on something new? Share it in the comments.  I’d love to join your support team.#medalmonday #rundisney
