I am pretty sure room reveals are one of my favorite things. It is so exciting to see a space completely transformed. Five weeks ago, I joined the One Room Challenge (a crazy, 6 week room makeover challenge hosted by Calling It Home). We’ve been working hard to take a space in our dining room and turn it into a farmhouse style coffee station.
As always, let’s take a look at where we started:
Ummm… blah. That’s how I felt. There’s this tiny little hutch on a huge wall, and that’s it.
And here it is today!
Before we start with all the photos, I want to say a huge thank you to my husband. I told him that I was going to do this space on my own and he wouldn’t have to do anything. Instead, he built me the most amazing buffet table ever, so thank you, thank you, thank you!
Here we go…
My Circut got a major workout for this project. I cut out every image and word from white vinyl and adhered it to this chalkboard wall… and do you see that frame? Barn wood! Love me some barn wood.
The buffet table was a huge project. It took up most of our 5 weeks, but it turned out beautifully… better than I expected. We found the directions for building this table from Ana White and the tutorial for the barn door hardware from Jamie Costiglio, however, we did make a few tweaks.
I found this old coffee pot at the vintage shops in our area months ago, and I bought it knowing one day I would use it for such a time as this 🙂
This cute sugar and cream set was found on Amazon. Love. (It seems they no longer sell this exact set, but you can find something similar.)
And these Rae Dunn mugs? Adorable.
Gotta love Goodwill. I found these 3 “Reader’s Digest” Books for a whole 64¢. Yes. Sixty-four cents for 3 books… and that pumpkin? Nine cents at Target. Score.
I had to add my favorite jars/canisters… and give my Cricut something else to do 🙂
I decided to add a holiday candy bar that can be changed out with each season.
Behind the doors of the buffet table, I bought a few baskets and I’m using them to store paper products.
For a side-by-side comparison
Thank you so much for stopping by and checking out our new farmhouse coffee station. This was such a fun project to work on. If you are interested in more room reveals (most done for $100 or less), you can check them out here.
A huge thank you to HomeRight for supplying the spray shelter and paint sprayer for this project.
Love it? Pin it!
Love this! I’m inspired (as a fellow coffee lover!) to change up when we settle in our new home! Thanks for inspiration!
Do you know what color paint you used?
What type of wood did you make the top out of?
What color is the stain for the top?
Thanks, I’m looking at building this and am trying to figure out what type of wood to make the top out of and I really like the way yours looks compared to others.
Where did you get the baskets?
Hey Shannon-
I found the baskets at Michael’s. It’s been a over a year since I purchased them, but hopefully they still have something similar 🙂
Lovely! Everything looks beautiful, I hope to have a coffee buffet that looks as nice. Thank you for the inspiration and ideas.
What a beautiful transformation! I love how organized everything is now, and I can’t get over that amazing buffet!! I can’t believe your husband built it – it’s clearly awesome!
Thank you SO much! I’m pretty impressed with the hubby’s building skills. I can’t imagine this coffee station without that buffet!
We literally have the same piece of furniture that my husband built (same color and everything!). We partnered with Home Depot on the hardware portion but it ended up being too big of hardware so we still have yet to finish the doors. I see where you linked to a tutorial that you followed. Do you have a specific store you purchased your hardware from or any advice on the hardware piece for the sliding doors? Thanks! P.s. wonderful job!
How funny that we made the same piece in the same color 🙂 I bought most of the screws and spacers at Home Depot. The instructions call for an angled piece of aluminum on the bottom, but this did not work on this piece. The flat piece of aluminum, we found at Menards… it was not anywhere to be found at Home Depot. The other issue we had was with the pulley wheels; because there is no bearing in them, they don’t actually roll. We are in the process of trying to find something that will work. If you do use the instructions from the link, remember that she is doing a 60″ cut because her buffet is smaller, so you need to adjust the dimensions according to the size you built. Hope that helps.
Love everything that you did!! That buffet is stunning!!
Thanks so much Jessica!
Such a cute space! Love that cabinet! Great job!
Thanks Denise!
It looks fantastic, Erin! That buffet turned out beautiful!
Thank you so much Kendra!
Your coffee station looks awesome Erin! Your buffet table is fantastic and makes me want to have a a coffee station now 🙂 Great job!!!
Thanks Tara! Shouldn’t everyone have a coffee station? I think so 🙂
SUCH a cute idea!! For as much as we love coffee in our house, I would LOVE to have a dedicated space! Your piece of furniture turned out FAN-tastic and I love your cricut creations! I think I need to make a few labels after seeing your 😉 Great job, Erin!
Thanks Rachael! I’m pretty proud of my husband’s workmanship on that table… and I’m pretty sure my whole house is going to get a little vinyl treatment at some point. Gotta love the Cricut 🙂
Oh my goodness I love the new buffet. You make me want a coffee station now!
hugs my friend, great job!
Jenny
My firm belief is that everyone should have a coffee station… unless you hate coffee 🙂
I love the buffet, it came out amazing! I’m adding this to my list of things to build! Love the chalkboard as well.
Thank you so much Katy! Isn’t that buffet amazing?
Erin!!! This is amazing!!! I want to come over and have coffee with you and drool over your gorgeous new coffee bar. Your husband did an amazing job on the buffet – it is a beautiful piece of furniture! I adore your coffee-house style chalkboard, too 🙂
My whole goal was to create a cozy spot to chat over coffee with friends, and I think that was accomplished.
This is such a cool space!! I just love the barn doors and the blue color!
Thanks Meg! Those barn doors are just my favorite thing ever.
Erin, This should be in BHG! You and your husband did an outstanding job on the coffee buffet, from the style to the color…LOVE IT!
Oh. My. Goodness. That is the best compliment ever! While it would certainly be a huge honor to make it onto the pages of BHG, I’m just happy we have this space to enjoy time with family and friends. Thanks for your kind words.
Erin – Your new coffee bar is amazing! The buffet is gorgeous – well done!
Thank you so much!
Such a lovely space Erin! I can see why you are so proud of your husband’s carpentry work. The buffet looks amazing! Enjoy!
Thanks Iris! I keep reading my husband all the lovely compliments about his buffet table. I gotta keep him going for the next hair-brained idea I come up with 🙂
Love love love it!!! Especially love the buffet color! Gorgeous!
Thank you so much Nicole!
One word – Fab-U-lous!!!
Awww… thank you so much Janis! I am lovin’ this new space.

Coffee and chocolate are always a good combination 🙂
Erin your new coffee station is so awesome! I can’t believe you and your husband built that! Amazing! Love the color too!
Thank you so much Lisa! I’m pretty proud of my husband for all the work he did to get this space ready.
It turned out great, Erin! I LOVE the chalkboard art.
Thanks Melissa! Cannot say enough good things about the Cricut and how it can just fake some cool handwriting for me 🙂

Thank you so much Sarah! Every morning, as I’m making my coffee, I just take in this spot. It is SO much better than it was a few weeks ago!
Yeah!!! you did it and its magazine worthy! Just perfect coffee station that has so much personality.
Maria
You are so kind. Thank you Maria!
Wow! This space is great! Love it all!
Thank you Joan!
Your husband built that? Wow, can I borrow him? The whole thing looks great Erin and we know better than anyone, that bloggers fuel up on coffee like crazy. So this is your office? 😉
I LOVE that idea! I should bring my laptop out to the dining room table and drink coffee and blog all day. That sounds heavenly… and yes, if we are ever in your area 🙂 I’ll send my hubby your way.
The buffet is amazing! Love the little barn doors on it. The chalkboard is also super cool! Great job on this!
Thank you so much Linda! I think the barn doors just might be my favorite thing 🙂
Your coffee station is awesome! Beautiful build and perfect in time for cooler weather and holidays!
Thank you Jessica! This November has been so weird. It has been in the upper 60s/low 70s (should be in the mid=40s). I’m absolutely loving the warmth, but I’m kinda looking forward to warm cups of coffee, cuddled up under a blanket by the fire.
Erin!! This is absolutely fantastic! I totally want this in my house… now I just have to find a spot:) It’s so fun and all your projects turned out so beautifully. Great job!
Thank you Krista! I keep saying that I think everyone should definitely have a coffee station somewhere. I am so happy to have this little spot for coffee brewing and entertaining.
Erin – what a coffee station! That buffet is amazing and the space is so much more inviting now. GREAT job!!
Thank you so much! I was pretty excited when my husband volunteered to make that buffet. He did such a beautiful job, and it totally makes the space.
Erin!! This is amazing!! What a stunner – and those sliding cabinet doors…. sexy!!! Love love love how this turned out! Congrats!
Thanks Jen! I am so excited about that table and the barn door cabinets might just be my favorite thing about it 🙂
I’m so impressed with the cabinet that your husband built! I love the blue with the black hardware! Very lovely space!
Thanks Emy! I’m pretty impressed with that buffet as well. I have to give my husband A LOT of credit for making this space look so amazing.
This turned out so good! The build looks fantastic (major props to the hub) and all the details are just perfect.
Thanks Ashley! The husband definitely gets major props for this space. I’m lucky he was willing to take on such a huge project.
it turned out really nice! This blue is perfect with the chalkboard and the wood, and of course the cool hardware…Time to enjoy some well deserved coffee!
This coffee station was well planned so that I could sit and enjoy multiple cups of coffee while scrolling through everyone’s room reveals 🙂
It’s awesome! I’m all about my morning coffee and this is a dream. Love the color of the cabinet, chalkboard and rolling doors.
Thank you Amy! I am basically a zombie until I’ve had a cup of coffee in the morning, so this little setup is perfect.
those rolling cupboard doors are the bee’s knee’s!
Awww… thanks. I love them too.
Hi Erin,
Your coffee station turned out beautifully!!! I am convinced I need a circuit now. Love the details on your barn wood chalk board!!
Thank you so much Tammy. I LOVE my Cricut. It is super easy to use, and I love that the wording turns out just the way you want it vs. me trying to do it freehand.
Gorgeous! That piece your hubby built is a show stopper!
Thank you Breanna! He totally deserves most of the credit, because that piece he made truly makes the space.
erin, this is awesome! that buffet is incredible and worth the time it took and then some!
I totally agree. I love how the buffet table turned out. So worth it.
What a transformation!!! It looks amazing! I love the coffee station hardware. It really gives it that final perfect touch. Great work and your pictures look really good.
Thank you so much Stephanie! Isn’t that barn door hardware awesome!? Totally worth all the cutting of metal bars 🙂 And thank you for the compliment on the photos. I still use an iphone, which is NOT ideal. Got a DSLR camera on the Christmas list 🙂
It’s awesome!! Nice work! The new cabinet looks so great on that wall and I love the color!
Thank you Karrie!
Looks fabulous Erin! LOVE the colour of the coffee station. So perfect with he wood. I would LOVE a dedicated coffee station but my kids would attack it. And how awesome is your chalk board and the quote! Love it. Love it all. Pinning and sharing on FB for you just cause it’s so darn cute <3 🙂
Thank you so much for sharing 🙂 It’s so funny you mention kids. Mine have been staring at the hot cocoa cups and candy with anticipation. They kept asking when they could have something. I’m like, “I gotta take the pictures first, then help yourself.” 🙂
Erin it looks so great! I’m in love with that coffee station that your husband made!! He did an amazing job and so did you!!
Thanks Ruthie! I am seriously so impressed with him. He took on this project with such heart and I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out.
I want a coffee station just like yours, Erin! 🙂 Love what you did with the Cricut machine. Congrats on completing the ORC. And your hubby did a great job with that buffet table!
Thank you! I seriously think everyone should have a coffee station… unless you hate coffee, then I guess it wouldn’t make sense. And I’ll let me husband know you like the table. He worked SO hard on it and deserves a whole lot of praise.
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE everything about this!!! I’ve always wanted a beautiful and functional coffee station just like this one! It’s perfect!
Awww… thank you Kristi. I have been dreaming of this for a long time. Nothing like the ORC to push our dreams to reality, right?
Oh my word! It’s beautiful Erin!! I LOVE love what you did! The Cricut is my absolute favourite machine, and I love what you did with it!
Thank you so much Lindi! Isn’t the Cricut amazing!? I bought it so I could do the football field wall in my son’s room for the last ORC, and I use it for tons of stuff now.
