so, i’ve kind of gone a little kooky here with my whole coffee cart theme. i ended up finding that the tiny cart was just too tiny to comfortably work the espresso machine, so i opted for this larger, industrial-looking kitchen cart from west elm. it’s great because it’s got four big shelves to hold all the coffee accoutrement, and it’s got wheels (i’m a sucker for wheels!). i did get a bit of a shock when it came completely unassembled, but once i got to it, it was pretty easy to put together. i added all of my coffee making accessories, a bunch of white cups, my new DeLonghi Kmix Espresso Maker
, and i think it looks as though i may be ready to set up a coffee shop! chez sfgirlbybay, anyone? latte? cappuccino?

Your coffee set up is just gorgeous! Would love a tour of the different types of coffee makers you have and your favorites. :)
i’ll have to work on that! this delonghi kmix espresso maker is quite easy to use (after i read the instructions, which i hate!) and i’ve been making lattes every morning. saving a lot of $$ too! i do like my little bialetti espresso maker for super quick fixes, and the Chemex is really nice to use when you’re serving guests.
so beautiful!! such a great cart, and beautifully styled.
Oh! But where, oh where did that lovely painting come from??
that’s ‘Emma Lou’ a vintage painting i found at the flea market. :)
Dang. I adore it!
love your coffee station setup. pin!
victoria! so cute! i want to make one for my office :) love the contrast of the blacks and whites.
Ohhh what a cute coffee space. The wood texture of the shelving makes it look homey.
This is so lovely and convenient. I especially love the sugar container, where did you find such amazing beautiful piece?
+1 – I wanna know where that salt pig is from!
oh that’s a sugar bowl, and it’s vintage from a shop called STUFF in SF. :)
I’ll be interested to hear how this DeLonghi machine works out in the long run for you. I just checked it out as the price was much more reasonable than a lot of the others on the market (i’m not at all interested in the pod thingys). The reviews suggest there might be problems after a few months: http://www.amazon.com/DeLonghi-Kmix-Bars-Espresso-Maker/product-reviews/B005MM7X88/ref=dpx_acr_txt?showViewpoints=1
Where did your white mugs come from? I’ve been looking for similar-size white mugs (10-12 oz at min).
Lovely coffee cart!
Wow, that is some coffee set up! I have to say, it’s rather stunning!
Viva la coffee! What a cutie pie that sugar bowl is–I could just eat her up! Happy Nesting.
no way!!!! so cool!!!!! i have to have a coffee cart too. i really love yours
No life without coffee! And now I want a coffee cart, too! So long we only have a coffee shelf but oh, now I’m inspired for bigger things. Just went through your other post on coffee carts, too. Very nice. And I love your photographs. They make your home look very inviting. I guess “Chez SFGIRLBYBAY” could work ;)
Love the way that you styled the cart and accessories.
This is zo awsome, love the sugar bowl… Could you tell me where you bought it? Thanks :-)

It all works so beautifully together! Thanks for sharing. You have inspired me today!
