Aptly named 8 O’Clock coffee saves the day in my house more than any other coffee. Morning comes and Bric can be found grinding the beans, brewing his pot of coffee, fixes his mug and then transforms into a human. Before, he is a bear.  In all the years that we have been married I have been banned from touching HIS coffee pot. He will share with me after it has been made but if I were to try to make a pot he would ring my neck. I am just not a good coffee maker. But seriously, while I may not be able to brew it, who doesn’t love a good steaming cup of joe? He loves the 8 O’Clock coffee because of the rich, smooth taste, it comes in whole bean form AND while it taste like the more expensive brands it is affordable and I can usually find a coupon for it! Win, Win!!

And even more, who doesn’t love the taste of sweet, buttery caramel mixed with the rich aroma of a perfectly brewed cup of coffee? Perfect to wake up with, as an afternoon pick-me-up, or as a sweet treat to indulge in. AND, even I can make it!

Caramel O'clock Coffee

It’s love at first brew.

The best part—you don’t even have to leave the house to enjoy this great creation. It has become my favorite morning pick me up. Coffee, Caramel, AND Chocolate. How could you go wrong?!!

Get to brewing, throw on an apron and let’s be Barista’s!

“I was supplied with a sample of 8 O’Clock coffee and some of the information to help facilitate this post. All opinions are my own and were in no way influenced by receipt of sample. We really do drink and love 8 O’Clock coffee and have used it for years. It’s just that good. And if you love caramel…and chocolate…and coffee, you are going to love it even more. I couldn’t have been happier that a fat tick on a skinny dog when I tried it!”

 

When I got my iPhone one of the hardest things for me to find was a case that I could be happy with. They all seems very plain and boring or VERY expensive. Then I was introduced to Zazzle. Zazzle has Dazzled me. They have a HUGE selection of iPhone cases. HUGE. Not only that, but you can customize your own case making the options limitless.

I am still dreaming of a new kitchen. Well, not a WHOLE new kitchen, just new cabinets, new counter-tops, new flooring and a new sink. I know pretty much how i want it to look. I just need the funds to get it there. I spent hours upon hours in Home Depot the other day designing and dreaming. They have all kinds of great new cabinets by Kraft Maid and I could live with any of them but this is pretty much what I am dreaming about:

kitchen cabinets

I think this color would look fabulous with my copper walls. It just looks warm and inviting to me and that is how I want my kitchen to feel. I am crossing my fingers and hoping that I would win the “Define Your Style” Contest and inspiration board that gives you the chance to win a $50,000 kitchen remodel from KraftMaid. Then, I could get everything I want and then some!

This fall, KraftMaid Cabinetry, an industry leader and one of the largest semi-custom cabinet manufacturers in the United States, will redefine kitchen and bath décor with the launch of a trend-forward collection of cabinet styles, finishes, storage solutions and decorative accessories. Additionally, KraftMaid is launching new cabinetry styles for the bath, as well as a new collection of decorative hardware, putting the final touch on customized furniture for the home.

• The newest collection from KraftMaid includes more than 30 cabinet doors, more than 24 finishes and 100 hardware choices.

• All KraftMaid Cabinetry comes standard with solid wood dovetail drawers with full extension runners and a soft close buffer system and it’s backed by a limited lifetime warranty.

• The 30+ new cabinet door styles fall primarily into one of four leading design styles that are prevalent in home design today: Soft Modern, Modern Farmhouse, Heritage and Coastal. Most door designs are available in both Maple and Cherry. Some are also available in Quartersawn Oak.

o Soft Modern reflects homeowners who crave a Zen, spa-like retreat with textural patterns and crisp lines. The three new door designs in the soft modern collection include a clean slab styles in Quartersawn species and modern adaptations of a classic designs with pillowed edges or elegant curves.

o Modern Farmhouse combines the feel of metropolitan design with industrial living and the great outdoors. The three new door designs in the Modern Farmhouse collection feature door designs with wider stiles and rails commonly associated with a more modern yet softer look.

o Heritage-style homeowners enjoy luxurious, richly embellished design with ornate details, both classically tailored and elegant. The 10 new door designs from the Heritage collection include styles with traditional or ornate applied molding, carved details, mitered corners and elegant beaded details.

o Coastal designs are inspired by the casual beach lifestyle and feature a mix of organic materials that are weathered and worn to perfection. The two new door designs in the Coastal Collection feature an informal and more relaxed feel with v-groove center panels and sider stiles and rails.

• Homeowners can express their distinct style and achieve any look from sleek and modern to classic and traditional or casual and comfortable through more than 32 new finish options. New finish offerings are drawn from eight different finish techniques, including classic stains, painted finishes, painted with glaze, burnished and vintage Patinas. The beautiful color palette focuses on classic choices that will remain in style, like a sophisticated Sage finish, classic Cardinal finish, mushroom, rye and a collection of vintage Patinas.

• Today’s baths are no longer simply for functionality; they are luxurious retreats. KraftMaid is introducing six new decorative bath collections that include more than 700 new products made specifically for the bath. The collections make the selection process simple, allowing all bath furniture pieces to coordinate.

See, it makes you want a new kitchen doesn’t it? Seriously, one of these days I am going to have me some new cabinets and countertops at the very least. Mine are in HORRIBLE shape and when I want something I work till I get it. It might take me awhile but it’s going to happen! 

“I wrote this review while participating in a blog campaign by Mom Central Consulting on behalf of KraftMaid. Mom Central Consulting sent me a gift card to thank me for taking the time to participate.”
