There’s nothing like rearranging a space in your home to make it feel fresh and new. I revamped our coffee bar this fall by transforming a kitchen island I bought years ago from Big Lots (here is one similar from Walmart). Initially, the island was in the center of the kitchen (where I rolled it back to), but this time, I decided to use a nearby cabinet to house our new coffee bar setup.
As newbie coffee drinkers, we started with a primary coffee maker, but I wanted to make the space functional by incorporating additional practical elements—like a cereal dispenser!
