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.

small round dining table ~ SOLD~


This little table I picked up hoping it would help us when we were table-less but it was not quite what we needed so I will paint up and sell. I am planning to do it a dark black so it will fit more kitchen color schemes. There were many good suggestions of chili pepper red, lime green black and white.



today I put on two coats of steel grey chalk paint



but against that judgment I distressed lightly the table edge. I waxed the legs and put two coats of polycrylic for durability on the top.






but now I think I will age it to before selling


 and that is what I did today March 9th and really like it, above the last leg not done and below done


it adds dimension and old feel. I waxed the entire table and legs to seal it all. It is now ready for sale.

  1. I really like this! It's such a pretty table, such delicate, slender legs. You did a great job, I love the color and the aging technique you used too. Bravo!
