I recently had the opportunity to try out Coffee-mate® Girl Scouts® creamer in the Girl Scouts® Thin Mints® flavor. This yummy flavor took me right back to my Girl Scout days! I can remember selling boxes and boxes of tasty cookies and Thin Mints was my absolute favorite flavor… we always purchased several boxes of that flavor for our family! Nestle® Coffee-mate® is kicking off a campaign called “One Smart Cookie” which celebrates the spirit of making the world a better place through smart, resourceful ideas … which is something that the Girl Scouts are well known for! In honor of this campaign I’ve put together a Life Hack post showing you how I used Vintage and Antique pieces (from around my house) to create a Vintage Coffee Station in my new home!
I was so excited when we moved in to this house and I realized that this little end part of our kitchen was the perfect size for a Coffee Station! As you can see here it’s rather plain and needed some livening up!
We happen to have a drawer right in that area, so I looked around to find a way to keep the coffee pods organized and this is what I came up with. I used my Antique Muffin tins to store the pods in!
Now if you don’t have a drawer, you could add some vintage drawers to your countertop and store your Coffee or Tea there. You can find these at Antique shops and Flea markets. The metal ones are easier to find than the wooden ones, they are usually less expensive too, but they still look great!
I used an old basket on top of the drawers to store paper napkins in. The basket used to belong to my Grandmother.
I snagged this old Biscuit crate out of my office, it’s the perfect size to hold our Coffee Machine. I liked that this one had a lid, since it hides the cord and outlet behind the coffee maker. An open Crate or Basket would work well too.
This old Stoneware English Marmalade Jar is perfect for storing spoons (or Coffee Stirrers). You could also use a Mason jar or whatever you have in your vintage collection! The pewter sugar bowl was also my grandmother’s and works well for the Sugar Packets.
Both pieces fit nicely in the crate next to the machine, but they are cute enough that they could go on the outside of it too.
I bet you have all kinds of fun vintage pieces around your house that you could pull together for a similar look. Just think like a Girl Scout and use what you have! Now it’s time to enjoy the fruits of my labor …
with a delicious cup of coffee flavored with Girl Scouts® Thin Mints® creamer! I love that I can enjoy all the delicious cookie taste, all year long!

August 26, 2014 at 12:01 pmI picked up a stunning etched glass antique lampshade thrifting but already had enough lamps in my house. I love how the light coming thru shows the etched design. I cut a piece of plastic out of a clear office page protector and glued it onto the opening where a bulb would have gone thru. I wrapped french lace around the bottom and urned it upright. It sits next to my bathtub holding my bar of milk soap and is the most unusual and beautiful soap container!

I guess I love to repurpose whatever I can get my hands on. I have an old barrel I have turned into my umbrella and cane holder by the door, I love to change up old picture frames into chalkboards, corkboards, idea boards and one I changed into a tray. I have even used old toile curtains for the backboard of my craftroom bookcases.. It’s fun to think outside of the box! What I could do with $100.00 gift card… off to ARC to look for more goodies!

August 26, 2014 at 6:20 pmI just watched on ABC news this morning about this incident. A guy used a product called “knee defender” to stop the person in front from reclining. The woman in front could not lean back and she was not happy. They got into a heated argument and the pilot was forced to make emergency landing mid-way. Those two people are kicked off the plane.
United Airline tells ABC news that they do not allow the use of knee defender.

August 26, 2014 at 5:58 pmI had a coffee station set up in my house too. As usual, you have a good eye for design and I love mostly all of your choices…especially the old wooden file drawers for the pods. Perfect. (I use the exact same marmalade jar for my coffee spoons too although they remain inside the cupboard due to lack of counter space). The only suggestion I have is that if you get tired of the crate, use a tray instead and another tray standing on its side could hide the outlet and cord.
I so enjoy your blog and all of the images you send us. You’re so generous and it is greatly appreciated! Thank you Karen

OK so I use re-purposed containers for the following: (Be sure to run them through the dish washer first).
Plastic sorbet containers with screw on lids are now home to craft supplies. They are clear and hold a large amount of beads, guitar picks, jump rings etc..
Plastic Rice Containers. Hold paint brushes and tube paints.
Plastic Laundry Containers (Pod type) Hold large supplies like rolls of material that you want to keep dust free and you can pretty all of these up with cute images from the Graphics Fairy! Yea!

Suzan says
August 27, 2014 at 3:30 pmI have a large number of silverplate pieces. I never use polish to clean them. For large pieces, I line my kitchen sink with inexpensive foil from the dollar store, add a about a 1/4 c. of baking soda and 1 tablespoon of salt and pour in boiling water to a depth of about 5 or 6 inches. In go my silver pieces and they come out tarnish free. A quick wipe with a clean, damp cloth and buffing with a dry cloth and I have perfect silver that looks like I took hours to clean. For smaller pieces like flatware, I buy the aluminum pans from the dollar store and use the same ingredients (cut by half). They are great and can be used several times before having to toss.

September 30, 2014 at 10:48 pmOMG! Such wonderful ideas! I have saved sooooo many! My idea is to use 3M clear hangers in a row to hang up all of my jewelry (necklaces and bracelets) in my closet so I can see everything and find the pieces that match best!

September 30, 2014 at 11:29 pmI reuse cereal and granola bar boxes for storage, small ones cut in half are great for gravy packets. I use coconut oil as a lotion and leave – in hair conditioner.

September 30, 2014 at 11:36 pmI use toothpaste on a pimple if I get one on my face. 🙂 It helps the redness and swelling. Seriously.

October 1, 2014 at 12:59 amWhen my daughter was learning to crawl, she is now 31 but we did the same thing with her daughter who is now 7, to keep her dresses from getting caught under her knees and ripping, I would gather up her dress when she went down on the floor in the back and just secure it with a clothespin. The clothespin kept all the gathers up out of the way but was gone in an instant if someone came to the door and I wanted her to look pretty.
