š A love note to my coffee bar⦠For years, my espresso machine lived on the counter. Iād swap out mugs with the seasons, add little festive touches, and quietly dream of having a real coffee bar⦠a place to decorate, linger, and truly enjoy. It always felt like a maybe someday dream. A few months ago, while reorganizing the house, I realized my dresser didnāt quite belong anymore. But it was the perfect height for a coffee bar, and suddenly, the idea felt possible. As Christmas approached, I started imagining what this space could become. A cozy corner to sip coffee slowly, work on a puzzle together, and linger a little longer. When we lived in NYC, we used to visit a small cafĆ© at Christmas time, ornaments hanging from the ceiling, lights everywhere. The kids loved it. I carried that vision with me into this space this season. Now this little corner holds hot cocoa mornings, spilled sprinkles, sticky fingers, and our pup basking in the sun. Itās more than a coffee bar. Itās a small, cozy piece of home š¤ cozychristmas cozyhomevibes christmasmagic christmas christmasseason
