Farmhouse Coffee Station Reveal

One Room Challenge· Room Makeovers· Room Reveals

Various farmhouse style items used in the creation of a coffee station: sugar and cream, vintage coffee pot, sip and gulp mugs

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:

Small wooden hutch against a wall in the dining room

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…

Vinyl coffee cut-outs used on the large chalkboard sign above the coffee station

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 🙂

Glass jars filled with ground coffee and labeled with vinyl lettering

I decided to add a holiday candy bar that can be changed out with each season.

Various Halloween candies in small milk jars with a chalkboard sign that says "Help Yourself"

Behind the doors of the buffet table, I bought a few baskets and I’m using them to store paper products.

    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.

    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.
