Fantastic ✅💯👍🏻 I've been trying to get my husband to help me do this in our TV room surrounding a faux electric fireplace. He thinks it's complicated! You made it look so easy.
Well done! As a Professional Organizer, this is much better functional space than having a china hutch/cabinet. I’m noticing a coffee bar replacing an alcohol bar in many homes ☕️
Great job! Very pretty, too! The only thing I would add (not that you're asking😊) is to frame in the mini fridge. It would give the coffee bar a finished look all around. Bravo to you and your husband, for such good work. You would never know iit was Ikea!🎉
Wow, Christina, what a difference! Although it looks like it was original to your home, it's so practical for a busy family, too! The backlighting...genius. 😍
Oh wow, wow, wow! You are amazing and your talents never cease to amaze me. I love how Sean is such a great partner in all of your dreams. He’s a treasure. Thanks for stepping through the project at such a pace as to help us understand how it came together. That’s what I like about what you do, you make us feel like we could accomplish things like this too. ❤❤❤
It’s now so beautiful! The best part for me is that nice piece of natural wood in the middle of your coffee bar! Congratulations from Montreal, Quebec!
Really beautiful and I now have an idea for my small coffee bar area. Recommendation would be to add pretty brass pull handles(fake) to the base area(kick plare area)of your top cabinets to make it look like two drawers. Currently looks like a base cabinet on top of base cabinets. You could even add a little bit of trim to make it look even more like two drawers.
You are so good at any kind of DIY and have given so much inspiration over the years. Of course some DIYs take longer for me because I have to wait on my husband 😁 Thanks for sharing all that you do!
Love it! You inspire me the most with your Ikea projects. How does it look with the LED backlighting behind the marble? I didn't catch that if you showed it.
Oh my goodness that is gorgeous!!! You make it look so easy but that was a lot of work. You have such an eye for function and beauty. I love IKEA too. Well done, it was a pleasure to watch. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
So beautiful!!! What a difference! You are genius with the IKEA hacks. I was just watching an old Julie Khuu video on awkward spaces- entryways, and saw your awesome Stall Hall project... One of my favorites❤❤❤
I love, love this. So much new storage . If I was younger and hubby was still alive I would definitely do this. I have a room adjacent to my kitchen which I use as an everyday kitchen seating area. Right now it has two large ikea cabinets for things that don’t fit in my kitchen. It would be so easy to incorporate a coffee bar between them. You’ve certainly hit it out of the park with this idea
I am such a visual learner. So watching you put this all together makes me much more confident that i could do something similar in my home. Gorgeous results! TYFS your inspiration!
Looks awesome, the coffee bar you guys created completes the room and looks so much more intentional. Love the lighting Sean added, it added that extra touch of pizzaz!!! Thanks for sharing Christine, I hope everyone enjoys the new bar.......
Wow! You and your husband did an incredible job. Looking at doing something similar in our dining room. You have truly inspired me. Thanks for sharing. Enjoy your beautiful space
Absolutely stunning! I’m always so impressed with your DIY makeovers but this one is my favourite. I love how you’ve incorporated IKEA pieces into this very practical space yet still so decorative. You have really inspired me to rethink my own coffee bar area! Thanks so much Christina! Keep them coming 👍🏻😄
VERY, Very nice! It's a perfect idea for that wall. Love all the storage, practical use and nice focal point for all the holidays. The mini fridge is a great idea. Really like the topping rail and art light, pretty!
This is absolutely elegant! You always put together such a beautiful home.I love that new light over the table. You are so very talented and have a good eye.For what is going to look good❤
Wow, Christina! This looks amazing, great job! I’m always impressed by how handy you are 💪🏼 Your new curtains are really pretty…and matched your pants 😄
I love the concept! I would have carried the marble up as a back splash and in different contrasting marble, but thats just me. For wood accents, I would have applied it horizontally and not vertically as it gives feeling of not as wide. But great idea and looks lovely in its finished state. It definately creates more storage and I'm all about my coffee and Starbucks lattes as well! I live in an apartment, so I think you have given me further inspiration to possibly add a coffee bar along my livingroom wall area, with an Ikea shelving unit (s), as kitchen is llimited for space and galley style. I actually have picked out a black IKEA shelving unit and need to 4 to cover expance of my main lvrm wall for photos, art, ornaments and storage for special items. Thank you for sharing! I forwarded to my adult daughter and son as they both have new spaces and much more they can do to improve their storeage and feel of spaces. Will take time for them to sort out what makes it ideal for them. But great idea for sure!
Turned out wonderfully! You did a great job! The only thing I don’t like is that light fixture. Get your money back and put the old one back up. Waaaay better.

Fantastic ✅💯👍🏻
I've been trying to get my husband to help me do this in our TV room surrounding a faux electric fireplace.
He thinks it's complicated!
You made it look so easy.
This is very impressive! You and your hubby are really the diy dream team ‘eh? I bet you’ve learned a lot from each other.
Thank you so much! We do love our DIY projects, we've definitely learned a lot from each other!
Oh WOW! Love it! ❤
Absolutely gorgeous job Christina. I love when you use the IKEA cabinets to make your coffee bar dreams come to pass. Just WOW what a difference. 🤗💓💕💞
I'm so glad you like it! I love how it turned out too!
Looks absolutely beautiful!!! Such a difference! You, your girls, and anyone you host will enjoy that for years to come.
Thank you! We're already using it a ton!
Absolutely looks built in and so well done. I like the mix of wood with gold accent. The space if beautiful and functional that is a win win.
Thank you! I'm so glad you like the way it turned out!
Looks good. I would have continued the bulkhead to the underside of the ceiling, though, to avoid the collection of dust.
Thanks! I considered it, but when I sketched that idea out the proportions looked way off with our tall ceilings.
Wow!!!!!!!! It’s gorgeous. I love everything you’ve done to this space.
From one Canadian to another, way to go!!!!!!!!!❤
Thank you so much! 🩷🇨🇦
Well done! As a Professional Organizer, this is much better functional space than having a china hutch/cabinet. I’m noticing a coffee bar replacing an alcohol bar in many homes ☕️

The backlit marble wall piece is gorgeous!!
Holy cow! This is amazing!
Stunning! You add beauty, and function - so much storage 😍
Thank you! I'm so glad you like it!
Wow, Christina, what a difference! Although it looks like it was original to your home, it's so practical for a busy family, too! The backlighting...genius. 😍
Thank you so much! I love the backlighting too!
Oh wow, wow, wow! You are amazing and your talents never cease to amaze me. I love how Sean is such a great partner in all of your dreams. He’s a treasure.

Gorgeous! Good work! And I love how your hubby smiles at you, so sweet!
Aw, thank you! He is the best! 🥰
You had me at coffee bar! This is AMAZING! Thank you for sharing! ❤
I'm so glad you like it! I love my new coffee bar too! 😊
It’s now so beautiful! The best part for me is that nice piece of natural wood in the middle of your coffee bar! Congratulations from Montreal, Quebec!
Thank you very much!
So beautiful❤️ I love the wood backing and the shelves with brass rails. Great job!
Wow!!! Love it! So much storage space and that fridge is adorable
I'm so glad you like it! I love how much storage it has too!
I love this unit. Nice idea to make the dinning room more used!❤❤❤
You are amazing, Christina! Your new coffee station looks so good! Well done, you! ♥

This is just beautiful! I can't wait to see it all Christmassy!
Thanks! Me too! I'm already planning!
You are so good at any kind of DIY and have given so much inspiration over the years. Of course some DIYs take longer for me because I have to wait on my husband 😁 Thanks for sharing all that you do!
I love the transformation you created! The only thing I don't like about it, is the mini fridge. I would prefer it being hidden it by a cabinet!
Thanks so much! I actually love seeing the cute retro fridge. ☺️
I'm not exactly a DYI'er, but a spring rod and subtle curtain could hide the fridge.
Looks like a built in!! Good Job! Love how your mind works with creative wood working & love the gold fixtures too❣️
Thank you! I'm so glad you like it! ☺️
Love it! You inspire me the most with your Ikea projects. How does it look with the LED backlighting behind the marble? I didn't catch that if you showed it.
It was really close to the end. It was just a super quick clip.
Thank you! Yes, there are a few clips near the end.
Oh my goodness that is gorgeous!!! You make it look so easy but that was a lot of work. You have such an eye for function and beauty. I love IKEA too. Well done, it was a pleasure to watch. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Thank you! I think a coffee bar in that space would be amazing!
It’s just so beautiful! If you ask me, one of the most efficient uses of space! So, so good!!❤️❤️❤️
So gorgeous! I love the way it looks like it was always there. Inspirational!
Thank you! I'm so glad it looks like it was always meant to be there! 😄

Wow! Very impressive Christina!
I wish I had the imagination that you have to make inspirations come true! ❤

Great redo! It's a vast improvement.
You created an amazing coffee bar!! Bravo! I'm a Canadian living on Vancouver Island in BC.
Thanks so much! I’m so happy you like it! 😊
love this! The only thing I would have done differently is having the cabinets go to the ceiling.
Thank you! I considered that, but when I sketched it out the proportions looked terrible with our 9 ft ceilings.
I love the concept! I would have carried the marble up as a back splash and in different contrasting marble, but thats just me.
For wood accents, I would have applied it horizontally and not vertically as it gives feeling of not as wide. But great idea and looks lovely in its finished state. It definately creates more storage and I'm all about my coffee and Starbucks lattes as well!

I'm so glad my coffee bar gave you some ideas for your apartment! It's amazing what you can do with IKEA cabinets!
You, my dear, have a brand new fan! Will be binge watching your channel. ❤
Wow, you did an outstanding job! Looks fantastic!
Turned out wonderfully! You did a great job!
The only thing I don’t like is that light fixture. Get your money back and put the old one back up. Waaaay better.
One of my faves! Such a beautiful build
Wow! This is gorgeous. You definately accomplished what you set out to do. I appreciate your step by tutorials. Thsnks for sharing 😊🇨🇦

Absolutely beautiful. Thanks for the inspiration ❤
This is simply brilliant! Love love love it.
It’s just beautiful!! It really does look like it was built in!

This is more than a coffee station… it’s a whole Butler’s Pantry! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🫶🏽☕️
It looks terrific! How fun to decorate!
Wow, so very impressive. Great job! 👏🏼👏🏼
