Rustic Reclaimed Wood Farmhouse Style Mug Rack Coffee Station
Get your daily java “fix” with this DIY vintage sign coffee station & mug rack!
Last year I made a reclaimed wood industrial pipe shelf. I had it all set up as a coffee station, complete with hooks for coffee mugs and all the coffee fixings.
You can’t go wrong with rustic wood and metal and I was in love with how it turned out. But if I let you in on a little secret, I hope you won’t hold it against me …
I don’t like coffee.
I think the stuff smells blissful, but I gag every time I try to take a drink.
I made that coffee station and shelf by special request for my daughter.
I’ve always wanted to make another one, so when a customer asked me to design a coffee stencil and put it on one of my handmade farmhouse totes, that was the motivation I needed.
I’m still working on the tote, which I’ll share later, but I finally made a new mug rack coffee station with a rustic coffee sign.
It was really easy!
Here’s how I made it:
How to Make a Rustic Reclaimed Wood Farmhouse Style Mug Rack Coffee Station
Supplies used (affiliate links included for your convenience):
- salvaged wood (I used old barn wood)
- cast iron shelf brackets
- screws
- mug hooks (I spray-painted mine black)
- black paint
- stencil brush (these are my favorite brushes)
Directions:
- Cut top shelf board to desired size.
- Cut board for sign to desired size. Allow room to add cup hooks under the sign area.
- Use painter’s tape or stencil adhesive to position stencil in center of sign board.
- Load the head of the stencil brush with paint, then wipe most of it off on paper towels (this is called dry brushing).
- Pounce brush on stencil to paint the design and let dry.
- Pre-drill holes and attached brackets to top shelf board.
- Pre-drill holes in sign board and attach brackets into board and wall.
- Screw in cup hooks.
- Hang your mugs on the reclaimed wood old sign coffee mug holder, pour a cup, then sit back & enjoy!
With really rough-textured wood like my old barn wood, you don’t have to worry as much about paint bleeding under the stencil.
Keep the brush fairly dry and you’ll get crisp, clean paint lines that look amazing against weathered wood.
Daily Grind Coffee stencil design area measures approx. x 16″ wide x 5″ tall.
It’s available in my online shop HERE.

Vaya con Dios,
This is so cute! I’m so sorry you don’t like coffee…it’s my favorite wake up call in the morning, along with reading blogposts and catching up with what creative people are up to. Thanks for sharing .
Thanks Sharon! I really do wish I liked coffee, because I love how it smells. I just never could acquire a taste for it though.
I don’t like it either. The only time I could drink it was with a ton of kahlua (hahaha).
Ahhhh just love this Angie. You are so creative and have such a great talent to relove old pieces into new pieces.
Happy Thursday and Have a wonderful weekend.
Hugs,
Kris
Thanks so much, Kris!
Angie like you I love the smell of fresh brewed coffee but can’t stand the taste.
Love the coffee shelf, wish I had room for it in our little apartment. My husband would love it.
Judy, my daughter keeps buying the most delicious smelling coffee, like salted caramel, and it drives me crazy that I hate the taste of it!
I love both of your coffee shelves! And thank you for another great stencil!
Thanks so much, Derry! 🙂
Your shelf is oh so cute! But I am with you. While I absolutely LOVE the scent of coffee, I cant’ bear the taste. Sometimes my MR. will try to get me to taste his mocha ice cream or something and I regret it every time that I fall for it!!
