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.

wooden canister set reloved in Fusion's putty



My Mom bought me this wooden canister set as a project, first step scrub up and let dry


Oh yes, there was one repair to be made

My first attempt at painting was with Homestead House Paint Co. in Renfrew blue but the canisters and milk paint had a mind of their own on the lids and only one side.. excessive chipping


and below is the Renfrew blue with Homestead House Paint Co. loyalist milk paint dry brushed on for a cool old denim look but with tops and one side on each really chippy it was not the look I wanted so I washed them all clean. This is the great part of milk paint until sealed.



Fusion Mineral Paint putty was the next color choice and one coat covered perfectly on all sides, bottom and lid and top edges. 


I want a vintage look so sanded all sides and edges then added  Homestead House black furniture wax for dimension and aging.
