Where to Put the K-Cups?

My favorite coffee maker died last year.  It was a Broan, it used the V-shaped filters, it was easy to fill and clean, and I was really sad to see it go.  I looked and looked for a replacement, and I couldn't find a model that I liked as well as that one. 

As an interim solution, I borrowed a coffee maker from our daughter's wedding presents and used that for a few months.  I never liked this one ... there were times when the carafe and the filter basket would get misaligned and the coffee would overflow the basket and make a mess on the counter.  The best thing I can say about it is that it was better than nothing.

Right before Christmas, The Husband brought home a shiny new Keurig.  We had talked about maybe getting one, so it wasn't a surprise that he decided to go ahead and buy one. 

With the arrival of the Keurig came the dilemma of where to store the K-cups?  I thought about it for a minute, and I realized that I already had the perfect thing!


 
 
I bought these wooden sewing machine drawers a long time ago, and they have been sitting unused in my sewing room forever.  They still wear their original finish and I love the patina ... I need to put some sort of a top on them, tho.
 
 
 
Morning coffee is one of life's essentials for me ... my family knows that it's best not to get between me and the coffee pot when I get up in the morning.  I love the fact that this new machine will brew a 12-ounce cup of coffee in only about a minute.  That's MY idea of instant coffee!

Happy Sunday, Everyone!
