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.

Some pieces just need spray paint, like this metal hanging fruit basket and laminate shelf. Both were dated and just boring.

Time to call in the Krylon spray paint for a makeover..

I choose sea glass for the wire basket

and Bahama sea for the shelf

Spray paint your pieces in a well ventilated spot, I usually go outside. Use long sweeping motions and do more light coats to get the color you want and avoid drips and runs.

let dry and wahlaa.. a fun new fruit basket and cute little shelf for nail polish, essential oil or other storage all reloved with some Krylon spray paint
