I am super excited about the Coffee Bar because it freed up a ton of space in our kitchen (i.e. pantry and counter top space). So it was definitely worth the 30 bucks I spent creating it. After all, I love coffee, like seriously I’m addicted. If you follow me on Instagram this is no secret since every other photo is of coffee (if you aren’t following me, you should). Of course, if you are not a coffee lover you could definitely use this as a wet or tea bar instead, whatever suits you fancy. To each its’ own.
As usual before starting any project I did some inspiration research on Pinterest. I decided that I wanted our Coffee Bar to be cabinet based with a shelf to display a few items. We already owned both of these items so it was a no-brainer. It was important that this project is effortless, so I decided to paint the cabinets without sanding. We did this previously with our bedroom furniture and it turned out beautifully.

- Apply the Kilz Latez to the cabinet. Allow this to dry completely. I would recommend allowing at least 12 hours. Make sure you paint in a
- Apply the paint color of your choice. Allow this to dry completely. To save money I purchased a tester of my desired paint color. The tester was more than enough. I did 3 coats and I still have some paint left.
- Repeat step 3 until you have the desired opaqueness.
- Move your cabinet to the desired space.
