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.

pepper grinder and knife block

so my pepper grinder and knife block are still the blond wood color, a bit out of place and stark in our new darker wood home so why not paint them, today this was my project and although they did not start out what I wanted I think by the end they will be a nice change.. for now anyway!
after fiddling around and a few more layers of glaze here is it now, not sealed just waiting to decide if I want to keep it this color
