I don\u2019t know about you, but we can\u2019t seem to escape the constant stream of viruses going around this winter. With five kids, we know we\u2019re going to have a lot of germs and bugs come through the house, but this year has been the doozy of all doozies for Charlotte House.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now that the kids are crawling out of a sea of stuffy noses and gunky coughs, I thought about how nice it feels to have a quaint little corner carved out for making a cup of tea, especially when it’s the middle of the night and you realize that now you’re<\/em> the one who’s stuffed up, and if you could just sleep you’d feel better, but you’re so congested that you’re stuck down here making a damn cup of tea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve certainly earned a good night’s rest after a few overnighters with sick babies. But since sleep requires breathing, which is a thing I currently can not do, I figured I\u2019d share our charming little tea spot with you instead. Charming. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Full disclosure: Tea\u2019s great and all, but this is an equal opportunity drink station where we assemble all things drinkable (e.g.: coffee, cocktails, chocolate milk). But for now I\u2019m just giving you the tea on\u2026 our tea.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Electric Kettle<\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Black countertop appliances are our jam. They blend into the background with our dark soapstone countertops, and if we can find a matte finish like this one, it\u2019s even better. I like an unfussy visual, so I try to stay away from shiny items that catch the light and therefore, your eye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This kettle is probably a little larger than we need, but it\u2019s got a few details I love:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
