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.

This boring light stained wood bread box needed some color and pizzaz,

hello shoreline blue from American Paint Company

after 2 coats of chalk paint it was time for American Paint Co clear wax

then a coat of Miss Mustard Seed's white wax

now to choose new hardware, I put out a poll and the top blingy square mercury glass knobs won

Disclosure: There are links to help you find the details to the products I used but there was no sponsorship involved from American Paint Co but a big thank you to Homestead House for the Miss Mustard Seed's white wax
