Sweet Little Farmhouse Strawberry Crate

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.

Isn't this the sweetest little wood crate? It was cute as original but a wee bit of paint amped it up even more. It is available on my Etsy store :)

It was part of my small collection I painted using "Drop Cloth" from Dixie Belle Paint.

The strawberry crate was simply dry brushed with the warm white drop cloth paint on all sides. A light sanding with a sanding sponge then a coat of Dixie Belle's best dang wax in clear to seal it all up again on all sides.
