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.

Fusion Algonquin shelf / key rack


I painted 2 exact shelves with key racks; one warm white, one a burnt orange. The warm white one sold right away but the burnt orange one remained unsaleable for over a year. As much as I hate admitting the color choice was wrong, sometimes it is true.


So I tried Fusion Mineral Paint's in Algonquin, a new to me color to try. Distressed it a bit and added  Homestead House espresso wax  for a rustic feel. I have my fingers crossed this color is more appealing to the masses ;)
