(Measure your furniture before you buy.) Our picks:Most DurableLowe's Garden Treasures ($15 to $25 per piece) are the covers you want in a snowy area. The fabric is exceptionally tough, resisting tears and fading and drying quickly; however, it does have a tendency to pill over time.Easy On/Easy OffWhile no cover was a cinch to put on, Sears' Garden Oasis ($25 to $45) was the simplest, with no fussy drawstrings or elastic. The material proved average on tear strength and abrasion but resisted UV fading and repelled water well.Wet-Weather WinnerKmart's Martha Stewart Everyday Garden ($20 to $30) is a great choice if it rains a lot but seldom snows. The fabric is very water repellent and dries quickly, but it tears more easily than others. Tricky to install, the drawstring is fed in by hand.Most Versatile FitThe Veranda Collection by Classic Accessories ($18 to $80) will accommodate the widest range of furniture, with elastic, drawstrings, and leg clips for customized protection. While the fabric stood up well to tearing, it didn't do as well on the other durability tests, and took a long time to dry.

As the days grow shorter and temperatures start dropping, why not skip the outdoor excursion and make your own coffee bar? Here are 14 brilliant ideas for creating a little coffee corner that will keep you warm throughout winter. 1. Repurpose a Vintage Cart: The best way to use a vintage cart in your home is to turn it into a coffee/breakfast station.

Place an espresso machine and white mug cups on the top shelf and add some Anthropologie ikat latte bowls and gold glassware to complete this dream coffee/breakfast station. 2. Reclaimed Wood Coffee and Tea Shelf ($75): It doesn’t take much to make your own coffee corner, especially if you have this handmade wooden shelf, which displays your hanging mugs beautifully. Spell out C-O-F-F-E-E with these monogram mug cups. (via Del Hutson Designs) 3. Bookshelves Turned Coffee Bar: Move over, books. We need some space for coffee making fun. 4. Stacked Dishes Galore: Apparently this is the fancy coffee bar in Martha Stewart’s house — if it’s good enough for Martha, it’s good enough for us. (via The Inspired Room) 5. String A Garland or Two: Short on space to devote to your coffee bar? A coffee corner is an easy way to repurpose a bare corner. Set an espresso machine in the corner and store your beans and mugs alongside it. Add a cheerful garland, and you’ll have the cutest cafe.

6. Add a Pop of Color: Brighten up your coffee bar with furniture pieces in your favorite color. Add some colorful mugs and patterned sugar jars for maximum color effect. (via Caught In Grace) 7. Black & White Decor: What could be more chic than a black and white design theme? Decorate your coffee bar with a few black and white printed photos and fun shapes made out of black tape. (via SF Girl By Bay) 8. Mini Coffee Closet: Do you have a spare cabinet or tiny closet? Why not convert it into a hideaway coffee nook? 9. Espresso Cup Gallery: This is South African architect Lari Levy’s coffee bar, or should we say, espresso cup gallery. If you have this many unique espresso cups to show off, installing shelving above your coffee bar is a must. 10. Chalkboard Wall: Don’t you love the chalkboard wall on this coffee/breakfast bar? We think the wooden shelves add a great rustic accent. Have your French press and chemex ready and you’ll be sure to impress all your coffee geek friends.
