| A focal point for my love of coffee. |
So, we're renters here in NoVA. Which I love. Because we've already done the whole "Ohhhh! We need a house!" and we bought such a house -- in Ohio -- when we got married {16 years ago} and now we still own that house, but are currently renting it to friends. It's our home of record, having established it so very long ago.
But anyway, when the fab hubby got assigned in DC two years ago, we had absolutely no interest (or the down payment for that matter) in buying a house. So we rent. And we got incredibly lucky -- wer're renting from some very,
very awesome FS friends. We never even had to navigate the "fun" of the rental market in DC/NoVA/MD. Score!
One of the projects I've been dreaming of establishing in our home is an espresso/coffee bar. But, because we rent and because we move so frequently {Please, PLEASE let the bidding gods be kind to us this summer!}, it needed to be, above all...portable.
Of course, the fab hubby in all of his fabulousness, knew that I'd been dreaming of such a project. And for Mother's Day this year, I received this...

| Shiny! My newest hobby. |
And well, that machine morphed into this gorgeousness in our kitchen. 100% portable and ready to go, anywhere in the world! As if my espresso fixation wasn't enough before, I now have the machine and the space to tinker with the greatest, most delicious substance in the world. Coffee. And with the fab hubby gone in Iraq over the next year, it's so nice to have a new hobby I can obsess over...

Hee Hee. Truth.
And oh, my! I made that delicious latte. |

| Well, the shirt says it all. |
I think I NEED on of those stations and I have just the place for it in my little vary/retirement home. Awesome idea!
ReplyDeleteI hate coffee (don't judge) but still am jealous of your coffee station. It looks so inviting and fun! I may have to copy with a tea station twist, but I don't think tea could quite carry the style statement that coffee does here. I did share this with a good friend, who like you, is coffee hobby-obsessed. Well done TWD!
ReplyDeleteAWESOME! Happy Dance time!
