A Christmas Cocoa Coffee Bar

Recently, I had some fun setting up a Christmas 

cocoa/coffee bar at the lakehouse!

I had a great workbench in my studio space at home, and we are now using it as a serving bar in our dining room at the lake. I am sure it was meant originally to be used as a breakfast bar/center island kind of thing, but there are 

lots of ways to use a piece like this, and it works so perfectly here. 

Placemats, runners, napkins, serving trays etc. are all stored here.

We do have a coffeemaker in the kitchen, but keep a Keurig handy on the server, 

so it is a perfect place to have a coffee/cocoa bar!

I used some fun items from Oriental Trading's Buffalo Plaid line!

It's so great for winter, and for Christmas decorating, too!

The Buffalo Plaid Table Runner is a nice 70 inches long, and 

worked perfectly on top of the server.  I added lots of fun pieces on top of it!

My old red truck makes the perfect holder for Buffalo Plaid Insulated Coffee Cups...

and the Winter White Ceramic Mugs are on a wood stand.  
They have such a great embossed cable knit pattern!

I love these Buffalo Plaid Holiday Throw Pillows!  They just make you want to curl up with a book and your cocoa!

Such an inviting spot!

Until next time...
