Traditional Black Sofa Table Transformation

August 3, 2020 15 Comments

Do you guys ever find super cool finds on Marketplace? If you’re anything like me, you might live in a super small town where people think their junk is worth astronomical amounts [ insert laughter ] – so when you find a deal, its the best day! I found this vintage sofa table that needed a lot of love. It had some dents and discoloration, but I could see the potential and snagged it for 45 dollars!

Here’s how it looked when I bought it. I immediately knew before I even bought it what I was going to do. I wanted to paint it a non stark black, keep the hardware as is ( I loved the vintage charm ) and then put castors on the bottom!

I don’t know if you guys can see potential in pieces or how it might look once completed? I can. I guess it’s a gift. But I knew this piece would look like it was from Pottery Barn once all done.

I like to use Behr all-in-one-primer/paint, it goes on really well and it eliminates the first step of priming.

I also like to give all my pieces a very light hand sand prior to painting, but you totally don’t have to.

I did two coats on this piece and then I put a light coat of varnish over the top to protect it ( Que for kiddos )

I love how the handles have patina from the years. The gold is a bit marked up and has black oiled bits on it. I have to somehow replicate the colour of the handles on the castors!

I think the hardware left as-is really makes this traditional black sofa table transformation!

I used Broadway from Behr. It isn’t a stark black and it is so beautiful! Would you believe it if I told you that one tester was enough for two coats on this piece? Their testers are only 5 dollars!

I also used a microfiber roller/tray to paint this piece. Then I used a small brush to get in the cracks.

    Hi Jess! It looks stunning. You are my inspiration girl! I just bought old dresser on marketplace 🙈 Can I ask what kind of finish is this paint? Matte or satin? Thanks!

      Aww! Thank you! You’re so kind!
      I like to use a satin. Matte doesn’t hold up great unless you varnish it immediately

    Hello, very elegant transformation. I was wanting to do a similar look and use a mirror I found on Wayfair. Just wondering where you got your mirror from?

    This is beautiful! I love it. I have a hard time seeing the end results and am always so blown away by people’s work. Where did you get the mirror by chance? I’m looking for one like it!

    I love this transformation! One of my favorite things is taking old furniture and giving them a makeover. Silly question, but do you know what those gold corner pieces are called? I’m looking for a project I’m doing and have no clue what they are called!

      Yes! They’re the the handles that came with it!
      Thank you so much
