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.

What do you think of this sofa table transformation?

It looks beautiful! Great job
Thank you! It was such a good score!
You truly are talented and an awesome eye for transformation. I look forward when your email comes in to see what your next creation is!!!!
Thank you! This is the BEST compliment. Thanks for following
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
Thanks! So I’m going to use satin then, let’s see 😉
Sounds good!
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!
Aww, thank you!! It’s from Anthropologie
Love your rugs! Where are they from?
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!
Hi! I just love it! Great job! Can you point out where you got the gold handles?
Yes! They’re the the handles that came with it!
Thank you so much
