Coffee Station

As I've mentioned before I don't have much counter space in my kitchen.
While I don't like cluttered counter tops, I do like having certain things
within easy reach!

I start my day off with coffee, sometimes several cups! Bad I know, but
I don't mind telling you that I'm addicted. I'm asthmatic, I can count on
waking up sounding like there's a wind storm going on. In fact my family
lovingly calls me Wheezy! Coffee helps.

I had this old table that was sitting against the wall beneath a chalk board.
It stored things for the kiddos such as chalk, crayons, books,and
construction paper. I decided to stash those things in a basket so I could
use the table else where.

Sorry I don't have any before pictures. I stained the top and painted the
lower half, then used a semi gloss poly. It turned out well and it does the
job.

  5. This turned out well, I like the combination of paint and stain. I do have a suggestion for your blog, something I noticed because I do Graphic Design. I would recommend that you change the font you use, because it's a little harder to read, especially in paragraphs. I know there aren't a lot of choices in blogger, but one that comes to mind that might work for you is Trebuchet. Hope this is helpful to you!
