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.

Another solid wood quilt rack calls for more Old Fashioned Milk Paint , this time in the color slate.

two coats of slate milk paint were applied then sand distressing followed

Once the milk paint was dry I chose Daddy Van's shadow black wax to seal the paint.

And after wiping off, it left the perfect shadows and dimension and deepened the slate color to a wonderful shade of dark grey.
