DIY Faux Apothecary Cabinet

By: The Ponds Farmhouse

I’ve been rescuing furniture for more years than I can count, but while we were building our farmhouse, the repurposing bug hit big time.

It began with our DIY kitchen island, which we built because I couldn’t let go of a previously rescued piece of furniture. In this tutorial, I show you how to repurpose two pieces of furniture into a 6′ x 7′ farmhouse kitchen island.

I’ve always wanted an old Apothecary Cabinet. However, they are hard to find, and if you luck into one, whew, that price tag!

When we downsized, we placed a large 16-cube IKEA cabinet in storage, just in case we ever needed it again.

When I searched for a storage cabinet for my new greenhouse, out came the IKEA unit.

We got busy transforming the boring piece into my dream cabinet. It’s a favorite upcycled decorating idea.

Now, the greenhouse has lots of storage, and I have my Apothecary Cabinet. See how to repurpose furniture with this IKEA hack.
