Café Corner

I got a Keurig single-serving coffee machine my senior year of college.  This always reminds me of the quote from Fight Club:  "Everywhere I travel, tiny life. Single-serving sugar, single-serving cream, single pat of butter. The microwave Cordon Bleu hobby kit. Shampoo-conditioner combos, sample-packaged mouthwash, tiny bars of soap. The people I meet on each flight? They're single-serving friends."

Even though my coffee is a single-serving friend, it's a warm and delicious one that brings me lots of happiness.  My kitchen is actually ridiculously spacious for living in the city, but somehow I've acquired a vast collection of kitchen goods that I don't really use, but the motivated cook that I know is hidden deep down is reluctant to get rid of any of it.


Anyways, this comes from another donated item of the boyfriend.  He had this black TV Dinner Stand in pretty good condition.  I picked up some silver spray paint from ACE.  This Krylon brand is the best spray paint I've ever used!  I've spray painted a lot of furniture before, and it's a long and tedious process for large pieces, and my fingers literally feel like they're going to fall off at the end of the project.  This can is somehow enhanced for maximum finger spray comfort.  Genius.

So, all you do is spray paint, let dry, add a few accessories and you're good to go!  I added the tea cups and saucers courtesy of Sid (so now I can drink all the tea and cappucinnos in them that I want muaha!), and had this vase and candle already.  I added a bag of aromatic coffee beans to the vase, inserted the candle, and voila, your very own café corner!
