Do you ever just want a change? If you are like me, sometimes I try to dream big then never get anything done because it can seem overwhelming. One place in my home is my living room. Yes, the list is long but working slowly. A new chair was purchased but this sofa table on the opposite wall, just needed something. My faux apothecary sofa table was a quick makeover to add a little new life.
I had seen a lot of “faux” apothecary chests and tables so I thought this piece would be a good one to try it out on. Plus, having some of the recently released Black Dog Salvage Furniture Paint, it was a win for me. Loving the Roanoke Rain color.
I had picked this up a couple years ago at a yard sale then painted it last year. So here’s the before and after – before now.
It had been painted once along the way, but it was never a project I loved. It was ok – for now.







Very cute idea! I’m going to have to remember this for the future. It’s adorable!
I love it. Would love to do another piece like it too. Maybe a large chest.
This table is gorgeous! I love the color!
Color is the best part. Now to change over a few more things and add some Navy to the room when I’m recovered.
I like both your transformations on this table, Rosemary. I especially love the faux drawer fronts, though- they really add a lot to the piece, and the new color is lovely.
Thanks. Yes I loved the first change, but wanted to add something new looking and loving the 2nd change more. And the color is great.
oh wow! that looks awesome! Well done
Loving it and the color. Added so much.
Brilliant using plywood and layering up. I wondered if you just mitered into the drawer! Plywood is much easier! I love how it turned out. I haven’t watched SDawgs yet, but that is right up my alley!
Next item to make over at my house are the coffee and side tables in my Living Room.
Good idea but these drawer fronts are very thin. Plus I don’t have a miter saw. Salvage Dawgs is a must watch.
Very clever idea- looks great!
Thanks. Would love to find a large chest to makeover this way too.
This piece turned out so beautiful. I love all the changes you made and the details you added, especially the color.
Color is the best part and I feel this is so much warmer in my room than the white.
This turned out so well! I love that colour!
The color is the best part. Loving the paint too.
That is so cute! I love a good DIY project!
I love doing the projects that are pretty simple and cheap to do. Usually they turn out the best.
This is so cool! Love the color 😀
Yes the color is one of my favorite things. A whole new look and loving it.
I love this DIY! Super creative! Hugs, Holly
A simple thing can make a huge difference. Thanks.
Wow! I am impressed, you turned it into something so beautiful!
Thank you. Loving the paint color too.
I love this transformation. Apothecary tables are my favorite!
Thank you. It’s amazing how a quick trick can make a big change.
It’s lovely, Rosemary!
Thanks. Loved the transformation.
Beautiful! I love the color you used!
I’m loving the color too. I had tried doing some turquoise which just didn’t work so much but loving this. Thinking of adding Navy accents too.
Paint is great.
Great project, Rosemary. I did know they had paint. I have received a few emails for me to try them. I love the difference in the piece. Amazing after! <3
I really like the paint. A bit thicker, or not sure if it was the color, but great coverage. Love the people there.
I LOVE furniture makeovers!! And this table turned out awesome!! Best wishes, for Fall. Linda @Crafts a la mode
Thanks – was very happy with the outcome and still am.
Wow, Your piece turned out beautiful and I love the color. I never heard of this line of paint before and I love learning about new paint since I paint a lot of furniture. Thanks for sharing.
I ADORE how you make the two drawers look like 6. What a great idea!
Thanks – I really did like the outcome and still happy with it.
