Coffee, Coffee, Ice Ice Baby

Our favorite spot in the morning; CAFFEINE!!!

The only thing that gets me out of bed in the morning is the fact that I'm now having cappuccino, espresso, Latte, Moch-choca-latte's...you get the gist. I'm amped up. 

LIFE IS GOOD WHEN YOU'RE AWAKE. Sorry to scream, must've been that extra shot of espresso.

My lovely Latte Machiatto. (steamed milk, espresso, frothed milk)

When we were planning our renovation the Coach decided we should have a built in/plumbed in coffee maker. We have one at our design studio for clients and it's super cool. Way back in 1997 when we built the house, this area was originally our laundry room. It's the connecting spot between our garage and the house. We put an addition on back in 2002 and that's where our laundry room is now....this room has been our 'mudroom' since the addition in '02. You know, where you drop your stuff when coming into the house. No, not our snow boots and jackets; more like our keys, phones, purses, beach towels, sand and mail.

We've now made it an extension to the kitchen as well as a good spot to drop your junk.
It houses our ice machine, microwave and the coffee machine.

But literally, this room has gone to the dogs. *snicker snicker* I hang my purse and keys on dog butts....and I'm not even ashamed.

Our collection of boxer paraphernalia; I purchased the custom Boxer Coffee pic from this site on Etsy. 

Our house has now become a "smart house"; I'm SO hoping that smart part will rub off on me. 

We've got buttons/keypads for this, that and the other thing. We installed security cameras during the renovation...which is great for when I want to watch Harley drink out of the pool. Weird cat. 

Guess who watched my every move while taking pics of the mudroom.....she was most likely waiting for a handful of the best ice on the planet.

People, we've GOT SONIC ICE. And if you don't know what that means, you're not an ice person. But if you do know what that means, you're in good company. 

I can pretty much live out of our mudroom these days. I was never much of a coffee person; just a cup or two in the morning....folgers or whatever was on sale. Now? Well, I still only have one or two cups, but it's extra special with some frothy milk mixed in; pretty soon I'll start demanding people address me with my Proper name. (Miss SuzanneFancyPants)

I'm hoping the Coach will learn how to make some of these for my Sunday morning Joe. 
Hey, it's not like he has anything else to do.....

Happy Friday my people!!
