Melissa's latest post, over at the Inspired Room
just inspired me to finish my coffee bar area.
I'm thrilled to finally have the idea I've been needing, in order to finish this spot and pull everything together, all the different components& ideas, that I've had swimming around in my
head for a couple of months.
The wall gallery idea has inspired me to create
my own for my coffee bar.
Below you will see my pathetic coffee bar, as it looks this morning.
Do remember, last week we entertained our precious little friend, Mr. D, for the entire week.
I was much too busy playing tic tac toe, coloring in color books, eating cheese nips, going to the park, and having fun with Mr. D
to concentrate much on the house.
The coffee bar has become a catch all it seems.
It's never been finished, never, and I've never been thrilled with the direction we started going, Ms. C added some of her photo-
graphy, and Ms. W added her just for Mom coffee bar plaque that worked wonderfully at the old place, but these things aren't
working here at all.
The photos will be moved to a better place,
and the colors of the plaque will be changed.
(And the stools will one day be white.)
(Someday...)
(I'm not sure when...)
On this coffee bar you will note, coffee maker, large glass jar, two white canisters, 2 French Press carafe's, glass mugs a plenty, bowls-
antique and new, bag of coffee beans, coffee bean grinder, boxes and a bag of tea, memory tree, lamp, decorated box to
raise the lamp, a cake pan, various decor items and two packs of napkins.

Well, ok, here's a closer look at the clutter-
a few items I've kept out, to remind me where I'm going with this coffee bar, and I see a few things that don't belong here.
They belong in someone's hope chest, and they've not put them
back yet...Ms. C???
Amidst the stuff pictured here, (that desperately needs order & decluttering) you'll see the cream pitcher and sugar bowl
from a set of dishes I inherited from my Mother-In-Law.
I cherish these!
A family picture from long ago, taken at the old place...
my how time flies... my baby girls have grown
into lovely young ladies.
And Mr. C and I, *sigh*we used to be young.

This next picture has nothing to do with the coffee bar, it's just proof, to show you all that yes, we do complete some projects around here, thanks to my Ms. W.
My birds are finished, my youngest painted these for me,
and I love, love them!!!
SOOOO-
I'm off, off to see the Wizard
the Wonderful Wizard of Paint...
-frames to paint, a shelf that needs one last
coat of paint before it can be used, and lots
& lots of other stuff to do.
Because, "there's no place like home..."
and I need to work on my home today.
I'm off!
Have a wonderful day everyone!!!
