Today I attempted to organise everything in my kitchen. I ditched the traditional 'tea', 'coffee', 'sugar' containers as I had 10million types of tea and coffee (slight exaggeration but you get the idea) and created a 'Hot Drink' station...
Here's what it looks like in the corner of my kitchen. A one stop station for any hot drink, I love that everything is on display and I can find everything I'm looking for. It also makes me feel special as it makes me feel a little bit like I'm in a hotel. :)
It was a bit of a DIY job as I made a shelf from some of the left over wood that we had from our worktop, arranged some jars on top, contained my teas in a basket and labeled everything with my Dymo machine.
Here's a list of everything I included in the jars:
- Douwe Egberts Coffee
- Nescafe
- Turkish Coffee
- Hot Chocolate
- Sugar
- A bowl with tea spoons and a tea strainer
Inside the 'Tea' Basket I have many different types of tea including good ol' Tetley, Earl grey, peppermint, chamomile, Linden, Green, Jasmine, and a few random ones from Pukka.
And on the side I have my honey pot to sweeten up my drinks if I'm not taking sugar!
The jars are ones I have kept over the past few months, the one containing the sugar is a large Yankee candle holder, the two small ones are from the 'Douwe Egberts' coffees, I think one had candy in them and one is a regular mason jar. The tea basket was from TK Maxx.
I haven't fully finished yet, one can say I went a bit crazy labeling. 'Monica would be proud!'
Are you inspired to do a 'Hot Drinks Station' and what's your favourite hot drink?
I have two favourite hot drinks at the moment, one being 'Douwe Egberts' Coffee and the other being 'Earl Grey' tea.

What a creative way of organizing your hot drinks, Muhsine! I drink a TON of tea but it takes up an entire shelf... wish I could put together something like this myself.

Nice. You drink dutch coffee. Douwe Egberts
I love this...such a cute Idea! I'm a self confessed Coffee Addict! x
Earl grey tea w/ milk is my current favorite along w/ hot milk and cinnamon! <3
Awesome! I just discovered your blog and I love it! xxx
This is such a cute idea!!! I like having things on display too, makes you feel like your in a shop/somewhere else. Hahaha at the Monica labelling, but they look really cool! Love this post! X

I love looking at your storage and organisation techniques
real nice kitsch station... reminds me we need to buy sugar!
my fave instant coffee is millicano it tastes sweet to me (as much as a coffee can be sweet =/ )
i also like how you've got food in drawers. we only have one drawer in our kitchen it's really weird we only have cupboards! oh well
That is such a wonderful idea! I love these posts :)
I am an organisation junkie, but Muhsine you need to get your butt over to mine and sort my house out pronto! Please bring Esra for a cuddle too :-) x
This is such a lovely idea =]
I really love tea so this looks like heaven!
Stumptown espresso (prepared in a Bialetti Moka pot) combined with Sugar In The Raw and milk, served over ice! I found your lovely blog while searching for a nail lacquer and am so glad that I did! I just love it and your ideas are inspiring! :)
Ooh, how convinient! No more starbucks? This little part of your kitchen looks lovely and I have to say, I'm loving the quality of your photos! :)

may I ask how to clean up a candle jar/cup after the candle is burnt down to the bottom? any tips or tricks? Sometimes I want to reuse them as pen/brush holders but don't have a clue how to remove the wax residue.
thanks in advance!!
Wow, this is so creative. Looks like something you could have bought from a pricey shop!

Very creative, it looks lovely. I just discovered your blog last month, and I love it!
Such a cute way to store things!
This is a great idea, I might just do this. I love hot drinks! Hot chocolate and peppermint tea are my favs :)
i like how you have recycled those jars, lovely set up you have there.x
Wow :D Lol at the crazy labelling system, but this is such a cute idea. My house, and kitchen, is so small I could never do something like this. Instead I lust over beautifully laid out designs like yours!

beautiful! this makes me miss my dymo. i had one while at uni, and everything in the house had a label..my plants literally had messages on them!
so yes, i'm inspired :) my favorite hot drink right now is a tea--mother's milk tea..lol. but i also love matcha lattes made at home with almond milk x
Very inspiring post! I'm always looking for new cute ways to organize my home. I dont know if the UK has Celestial tea brand, but I LOVE their "Nadagascar Vanilla" flavored red tea.. soooo good!!
Very creative.. love it
This setup looks so luxurious! I love how you've labeled and organized everything!
