O.K-Cup Storage Stand

Chipping with Charm: Stacked Pans for K-cups...http://chippingwithcharm.blogspot.com/

My family gave me a Keurig coffee maker for Christmas...and I love it...but how to store all those little cups has been a dilema.  I know they sell those handy little stands.  But you know I would want something a little bit "junky-er" right?

So this is what I finally came up with...

Chipping with Charm: Stacked Pans for K-cups...http://chippingwithcharm.blogspot.com/

I got my inspiration for this little project from some other cool layered pan stands I've seen out there in Blogland like...
This tiered pie pan stand at Mamie Jane's
and
This "really big" cupcake stand over at Homeroad
Thanks for the inspiration ladies!!
You should definitely "hop" over and peek at their versions...and all of their other very CLEVER ideas while you are at it :)

I had a couple of these old cake pans in a couple of different sizes.

This spindle-y stool leg fit perfectly in the metal tubes in the cake pans...meant to be??

The glass handle is a curtain rod finial which I attached with "Amazing Goop" glue...

LOVE this stuff :)

I actually used it to attach the "Lazy Susan" to the bottom too...just call me "Lazy Laurel" ;)

I was thinking about adding labels to the little slots...but I really don't want to cover up any of that fun writing.  I think my guests will figure it out, don't you?
(And yes, my assortment of flavors is a "little excessive...I know.  I went a little crazy when I first got it...trying to pick a favorite :)

Looks kind of "cozy" there on my counter doesn't it?  But if I ever get my little "studio" that I've been dreaming of...

I think it would be great for these little paint bottles too...don't you?
(Side note...I have no idea why my pictures upload sideways sometimes???  Do you?)
Well anyway...

    Another great idea. There's no way you would have one of those boring cup holders. It would look out of place in your kitchen!

    Seriously, you have so many ingenious ideas. And yes, it needed to be junky. It's so perfect. I love the letting on the pans too. Funny how those little markings make our hearts happy.

    That turned out really cute Lauren, so I've gotta pin it to remind me. I'm using a green Tupperware celery keeper right now for my little k cups. Not near as cool as your keeper.

    If you use a Mac you can use the Mac key and R or L at the same time to turn the photo Right or Left after you upload it and before you publish it in your write up. On a PC it is Ctrl key and R or L key. Hope this helps. Love your kcup holder. Gives me some ideas!

    Love, Love, Love the cup stand. This would look great with all of my paints in my studio. But I too have the same coffee maker and never displayed the cups because I didn't like the holders that are out there. Soo am going to make something similar.

    I love this idea! I have a keurig and I am always trying to figure out a way to store all the Kcups I have. I have a drawer thats under my keurig. Im not liking it at all! This is a project I will have to make. On the look out for some great items now at the thrift store and garage sales. :)

    Oh that is cool. I want everything to have the lazy Susan concept. I think the mix of that old metal with the finial is charming. Great job.

    I love coffee, as well as my mother. My mother makes coffee every morning. But my father loves decaf k cups. I hope you can find a good quality maker.
