DIY Furniture Flip: Refinished Solid Maple Dresser in Classic White

In this tutorial, I’m sharing how I completely transformed a   solid maple, Canadian-made dresser   into a fresh, modern piece that’s both timeless and functional. Originally a tired chest of drawers, this sturdy maple beauty got a full makeover — from sanding and priming to a   crisp classic white finish   and   new stainless steel bar and knob hardware . The result? A clean, elegant dresser with   five easy-glide drawers   that looks right at home in any bedroom, guest room, or entryway. Follow along to see each step of the refinishing process and how a little paint and hardware can give solid wood furniture a brand-new life.

little vanity

here is a cute little vanity I picked up. Britt has mentioned a few times she would like one so I kept my eyes open and found this little cutie

and below the inspiration photo but not sure about the distressing


 all apart and washed
 top with stain penetrating
 wiped and first coat of white
nearly done
and done.. note Grandma Stolz's chandelier in reflection

actually it is not done, I want to get a darker wax or try a treatment to age it a bit and we need to find a stool. The fellow threw in this old stool and we had one with legs that broke so thought perhaps I could combine to make this but really a simple vanity stool might be best
