DIY Coffee Bar

Who doesn't love coffee. In fact, if you don't love coffee I don't think we can be friends. I found this little rolling cabinet in the basement at work. It was just going to be taken to Goodwill so I snagged it up hoping to bring it back to life. It was the perfect piece for a coffee bar I've always wanted to create.

I picked up some FolkArt Chalk Paint in Cascade from Joann's and got to work. Ive never used chalk paint before but I'm really happy about how it turned out. I used two coats of paint on all sides.

I also picked up some FolkArt White Wax thinking I would use it to create a vintage feel. I tried the wax on a test spot and decided I liked the matte feel of the paint better.

My mom (shout out) bought me the cute 'I like big cups and I cannot lie' art from this Etsy store. I added and this little shelf from Lowe's that I purchased online and picked up at the store for free. I was in and out in a second.

To top it all off I won an Instagram prize from Imperial Sugar. The shakers are a perfect addition to my little white shelf.

I completed the coffee bar with a small hand towel I purchased from this Etsy shop. Don't ya just love  Etsy?

I love how my little coffee bar turned out.

DIY Easter Egg Wreath

Derek and I are hosting our first Easter in our home since we got married. I wanted a wreath to hang on the front door to welcome our guests but I couldn't find one I liked without a heavy price tag. With a Hobby Lobby gift card in hand a turned to Pinterest. This cute, easy to make, Easter wreath caught my eye. Bonus: Easter items are 40% off at Hobby Lobby right now.

You Will Need: 

2 bags of small Easter eggs ($.99 each) 

3 bags of regular size Easter eggs. ($1.99 each) Only 2 bags pictured. 

Hot Glue Gun with glue

Green Foam Ring ($4.99)

Roll of Ribbon ($5.99) 

I started by laying the eggs out around the foam ring to come up with a simple pattern. Once I had a pattern in mind I glued the eggs down one row at a time. If you make a mistake don't panic! The eggs are pretty easy to pull off. Just be sure to peal off the old glue before adding more to replace the egg. 

I used the small eggs to fill in the "holes" in between the bigger eggs until the whole wreath was full with eggs. I then rapped a ribbon around the wreath and glued the ends to the back. I created a bow with the left over ribbon and glued it to the top. You could always buy a ribbon premade, Hobby Lobby has a good section of them.

I hope you enjoy making this wreath as much as I did!
