Why not create a coffee bar in your home? You could have all of your favorite coffee indulgences in one cozy corner. We have a few ideas we found around the web, and then we thought it would be fun to take a one stop photo hunt at our Goodwill Store to see what could be found to create a coffee bar - thrift store style!

We appreciate Beccachristensen.wordpress.com desire to repurpose used furniture. This coffee bar has a vintage retro vibe. Sweet!

XOXO to the The Long Awaited Home! A farmhouse style coffee bar, with purple!
We pinned these ideas plus more on our Goodwill Style Pinterest Board.

Now for some more fun! We headed down to our Alcott Retail Outlet in Kalamazoo to see what could be found for setting up a coffee bar in one shopping trip.
First we found three pieces of furniture that could be our "bar".
A Baker's Rack. This item needed a little cover up of some scratches, maybe a dark stain to match the metal patina?
A Secretary. You could leave the top folded out all the time with your coffee items arranged, or keep them tucked away. If you repainted this piece, what color would you choose?
A dresser with a fold down top. Again a piece like this has the option to stay left open or not. The drawers could be filled with extra mugs, linens, plates etc. Or keep your Christmas cups and such tucked away in one of the drawers.
We found a couple of shelves to hang your mugs, hold sugars, flavored syrups, and display knickknacks.
And of course the coffee makers;
A carafe, thermal coffee holders or a vintage thermos?
And Goodwill always has lots of mugs. These mugs would be great with a rustic coffee bar or art house style. What do you think?
