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.

Soft Grey Saddle Stools With Fun Mandala Stencil




On the paint floor is a solid wood stool set with saddle seats.

One stool was wobbly so I took it all apart, reglued and clamped and it was good as new

I chose Fusion Mineral Paint in little lamb, a soft grey in two coats.



To amp up the solid grey paint color, I chose a mandala stencil from Muddaritaville Studio and added it to each stool seat top.



I started with Fusion Mineral Paint ash in the center, then putty and finally picket fence on the outside for a fun variegated pattern.
