If you've been on Pinterest lately, you know how popular the pharmacy cabinet look is. It has a quirky, antique feel that makes it the focal point of any space. However, actual vintage apothecary cabinets are hard to find and expensive when you do find them. But @makingmycasita transformed the RAST dresser into a beautiful and convincing pharmacy-inspired dresser. She created a vintage look on this brand new dresser by using an Early American She Varathane stain she bought at Home Depot and adding some antique She Label Frame She knobs like the one she bought on Amazon. did.
The most important and trickiest part of flipping this furniture is cutting the drawer fronts to make them appear narrower than they actually are. You don't want to cut the drawer front completely in half. This makes assembly almost impossible. Instead, cut a notch a few millimeters deep and about 1 centimeter wide in the center of the drawer front. This creates the illusion of lots of narrow drawers while still enjoying the benefits of RAST's beautiful, deep drawers.
