My Shades Of Green Coffee Bar
Today I want to show you my what I refer to as my shades of green coffee bar.
I redecorated the coffee because I changed colors in the open kitchen cabinets.
The shade of green of the coffee maker is vastly different from the Crushed Oregano painted sideboard.
So I put a mat in between the coffee maker and the sideboard to sort of ease the transition.
The Mother Of Pearl Lamp I Ordered:
The Mother Of Pearl lamp, also called a seashell lamp, is almost 27 inches tall. I found it online at Target for $60.
If I’m correct, Mother of Pearl Lamps are made of recycled capiz shells.
I wanted the lamp to light up most of the kitchen without my having to turn on overhead lights when I’m cooking or washing dishes. This one fit the bill.
It has a 100% cotton hardback drum shade in white. And the cord is 60 inches long and wrapped in a sturdy silk material.
Bulb Compatibility:
It is compatible with 100 watt light bulbs, 23 watt CFL, or 12 watt LED. Don’t ask me what those last two wattages mean.
I see the price for the lamp has gone up somewhat since I ordered it. And you won’t find it in stores; you must order it from their website.
I am not an affiliate, but here is the link.
I’ve found a lot of deals at Target if you purchase things online. This lamp is regularly close to $100. And I get free shipping using my Target RedCard.
I hate it when I see a lamp I like, and then read in the fine print that I have to put the damned lampshade together.
I put the lamps and lampshades in my office together and had a heck of a time with the shades. And I’m still not totally satisfied with them.
I swapped out the large Janet Hill painting with a smaller Janet Hill painting. I have four of her paintings and have had them adorning my walls for many years.
I love that the woman in the painting is working in her kitchen.
My other Janet Hill paintings are hung in my office. If you’d like to see them, click here.
New Coffee Sign:
Another item that is new is the coffee sign. I found it at Amazon, and here is the link.
I could not resist this sign with the word “coffee” carved from wood.
New Sage Keurig Single Serve Coffee Maker:
I ordered this Keurig coffee maker in the color Sage from Walmart. Kendra wanted my other coffee maker, so it went home with her the other day.
She took homw my kitchen shelf to paint, so it was a good trade. She’s a much better painter than I could ever hope to be.
I am not an affiliate for Walmart either, but here is the link if you want to take a look at it online.
This Keurig K-Express single serve coffee maker was actually about $40 cheaper than the one I had. And I like this one better.
The metal coffee sign you see above was also found at Amazon. You can find it here.
Postal Box With Greenery:
You’ve seen the green postal box before. I like to put greenery or flowers in it.
I hung the cutting board on the right on the wall in that particular spot to cover an old wall phone jack.
I’ve worked up an appetite.
I think I’ll take those two bruised-looking bananas on the counter and bake banana bread. Haven’t done that in a while.
As it cooked in the countertop convection oven, it smelled delightful.
When it finished cooking, I put a slice of banana bread on a plate and had a snack.
I believe I’ve showed you everything regarding my shades of green coffee bar, and explained where things came from for your convenience.
So now I will bid you all adieu.

I love the change Brenda. Everything looks earthy, subtle and beautiful.
I am curious about the new Keurig, I noticed it recently and wondered if my husband needed it. I personally do not drink coffee, I am a hot chocolate girl.
Hope that you are doing well and that you are seeing signs of Fall and an improvement in your pain.
Can you tell me the difference(s) between your old and new Keurig? Why do you like this one better?
Very pretty change! I love the woman in the kitchen print and the coffee sign.
Lovely shades of green working together as they do in nature as well. Enjoy your new green kitchen!
Everything looks nice. Love the lamp. I chuckled when you wrote about putting lampshades together. Loving the weather, hope you are too.
It looks restful and inviting!!
I was going to use that same word!…..restful!
I’ve never been much of a coffee drinker. One cup of instant coffee in the morning and that’s it for me. Occasionally if I’m dining out at a fancy place I’ll have a cup of coffee with or after the meal, but it is rare I do fine dining these days! That said, I love your refreshed coffee bar, it is so cute! The Keurig coffee maker color is gorgeous, and I really like the combination of the different shades of green of the various items you put all together. The second thing I noticed after the gorgeous coffee maker was the Postal Box with the greenery – so lovely, just the perfect place to hang it and the perfect accent. I don’t know why, but that piece along really “speaks” to me. I also noticed the wall art – the lady working in the kitchen, so clever and perfect colors in it. That banana bread – Brenda you made me want to bake some. The plate you have it on is just beautiful. That’s the way to live, surround yourself with beautiful things and things you love! Side note: You actually got me thinking about buying one of those Keurig coffee makers, not for myself, but for my sister and B-I-L who will be visiting from out of town again in December. They are both coffee drinkers and love their Keurig coffee maker at home. I feel guilty that B-I-L makes “runs” to a McDonalds about half a mile away and brings coffee back for them – sometimes a couple times a day, as they are not fans of my instant coffee and they are used to having easy access to coffee throughout the day.
It looks lovely, Brenda. Definitely soothing and relaxing. Enjoy it.
Very cute, and green is so soothing thanks for sharing…. From all your pictures, your apartment seems so spacious, especially your kitchen and bedroom…love your outside patio…have a great week…
ps. any updates on Moma dog & puppies. I live on the West Coast but still care, we have a wonderful rescue organization near where I live and there are too many pets that need good homes….take care
Looks very nice as usual. You did a great job with all the decorating…love the tin coffee sign and the postal box…that is a beautiful lamp..the new pic…it all just flows.. love it💕
Everything looks wonderful! Love the art surrounding your coffee bar as well. You know how to decorate a space so it looks just right.
Your green kitchen is cozy and welcoming. I prefer it to the red one.
Your decorating post are always interesting.
beautiful and calming! i love the wood tones and the greens together.
I absolutely love it!!! I despise where my coffee makers are. I need one for my dh and one for me as I can’t drink fully caffeinated coffee and we’re up at the same time. It’s on the dirty dishes end of the counter so it’s a constant battle to never have a dirty dish. My counter-micro had to go in the old coffee maker spot and I can’t shelf the micro anywhere. I’ve pondered and pondered. I’ve even put the coffee area on the desk area of the kitchen, but that was horrible. LOL. Anyway, green is the gateway to my heart. And I love that lamp!!!!!
