Coffee Bean Candles
This post is sponsored by Lavazza.
Because clearly just drinking COFFEE isn’t enough for me, I need to use it when decorating too ; ) While I’m no Martha Stewart, I do like to jazz up my tablescapes (btw when did that become a word and a thing) for special dinners and especially during the holidays. I like to go the natural route with my table decorations.
Incorporating things (like ingredients for instance) that I’m using in the meal and because I like to keep it budget friendly I try to use things I already have on hand. I ALWAYS have COFFEE. Just not decaf, ever, because honestly I just don’t see the purpose. Sorry y’all.
As you know, I’m a brand ambassador for Lavazza. This month’s featured Lavazza product is CAFFE’ ESPRESSO. It’s a medium roast and Lavazza describes it as “The best fragrance for those who love the pure pleasure of espresso.
Taste: fragrant, aromatic.Use: ideal for espresso and “long coffee”. It’s available in tin 250g ground and in (8pc) Box 250g ground.
I’ve simply taken a few of my favorite JARS, placed a Vanilla Candle in the middle, because vanilla and coffee are my jam, and then filled around the edges of the jar with COFFEE beans. It’s super simple and yet sophisticated.
The vanilla and coffee bean aroma will make you think you’ve brewed a fresh pot, even when you haven’t. NOTE: Please burn candles responsibly and I don’t recommend re-using the coffee beans, you’ll need to discard them after your finished. Common sense and all.
Those table linens have also been stained using leftover brewed COFFEE. Coffee y’all. It’s good for all kinds of things!

I think everyone loves the smell of coffee beans. Even if they’re not coffee drinkers, there’s something about the bean that is intoxicating. Love this idea for candles!

Such a cute decor idea for the coffee lover. My grandma was a big fan, HUGE, of dying linens and yarn with coffee before sewing or knitting something original. She said that it gave whatever she was making a “one of a kind” look.
