There are tons of ideas to incorporate when creating a home coffee bar from the types of toppings to the decor surrounding it.  Take these hygge inspired coffee cups for example, you can place them on your coffee stand and play off of the hygge theme.  You could add to a farmhouse look and make a coffee mug hanger to hang them on, like this Pallet Coffee Station.

Whatever your colour scheme or material list is, this DIY Coffee Station will be the highlight! A quick stop to the local dollar store and some altering of materials and you’ve got this stand made.  I was able to find two wooden painting boards of different sizes that were perfect when turned upside down and stained a dark cherry.  To get the height, I used two table signs.  They originally had a chalkboard sign on them, that easily came off to leave a perfect post for the tiers.  Then for the top layer, a metal basket, I love this touch as it incorporates a mixed media feel and really fits with the current style of decor.  

This Easy DIY Coffee Bar Station Idea came together easily and affordably!  Let’s see how to make it..

What you’ll need:

• Two wooden boards
• Two posts for the tiers (consider using candle holders)
• A wire basket
• Stain
• Stain sponge or brush
• Chalk spray paint
• White spray paint
• Glue (wood glue is perfect)
• Hot glue gun

How to:

Firstly, we need to stain the wood.  Follow the instructions on the side of the can.  I like to use a rag to spread the stain, but you can use a stain sponge or brush. Stain only the bottom of the board, leaving the sides to be painted white, if desired.

Next I removed the chalkboards from the pillars, then sprayed them with a black chalkboard spray paint.  They needed multiple coats.  Allow them to dry between each coat.  One of the pillars needs to have another groove sawed into it, to hold the wire basket.  Be sure to do this BEFORE painting.

Once the stain on the boards is dry you can spray paint the sides white. Do this by covering the bottom with painters tape and some cardboard.  Make sure it’s sealed or the spray paint will leak onto the stain.

Next, glue it all the wood pieces together.  I used a wood glue and allowed it to dry completely overnight.

Finally, the top wire basket was added with a little bit hot glue from a glue gun.

Once it’s done and dry, you can add all the goodies!  Next to your coffee maker for an instant decor upgrade is certainly the best place for this coffee bar.  Add a variety of jars with your favourite coffee enhancers, stir sticks, mugs and coffee pods.  Don’t forget to finish the look off with some awesome coffee sayings and word art!

To keep this project under budget I wondered over to the Re-Store to see what they had.  The great thing about shopping there is they give back to the community, and you can really find some DIY home project materials there!   I lucked out and found this great piece of wood.  It had been treated previously and had a few nicks, which in my opinion gives this wood some character.  I did sand it lightly to help with minor imperfections and remove any sealer, then restrained it a shade darker.  I’m happy with the results.

Keep reading for more, or scroll down to see the easy tutorial!

Once the stain was on, I added the letters.  You can use a stencil for this, which would make it a lot easier…but I couldn’t find mine, part of the reno.  So I had to free hand these letters.  If you have to do the same, don’t press too hard with your pencil as the wood may be soft and mark easily.  Once the letters were painted and dry, a quick top coat was applied for a finished look.  Then I added my burlap strips and floral wire with a glue gun.  Finally a hook was added to the back.  Too much too fast??  Let’s take a look at the tutorial!

How to create a Fun and Cheap Rustic Bathroom Sign

What you’ll need:

• Three pieces of wood, they don’t have to be the same size!
• Sanding paper
• Wood stain
• White acrylic paint
• Letter stencils or a pencil
• Twine, burlap and/or floral wire
• Glue gun
• Scissors
• Wall plaque hangers

Step 1. If your wood has been previously treated, give it a light sand to remove any shiny sealer…otherwise your stain or paint will go on unevenly.  

Step 2. Stain your wood using an old cloth or stain rag.  Apply each coat according to the manufacturers label.  Apply as many as needed. I only used a small amount of stain and really spread it with the rag.

Step 3. Paint your letters.  I recommend using a stencil to make life easier, or you can free hand them.

Step 4. Apply a top coat for protection. I used a mat spray on sealer, anything shinier could clash the rustic look.

Step 5. Once the top coat is try, you can add any embellishment you’d like. I used a glue gun to adhere the burlap strips.  I recommend twine or burlap as it’s the best of the rustic look.  You could also consider adding some metal elements as that is very in trend right now!
