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.

Vintage Window milk painted



Isn't this a neat sized vintage window? It even has the glass intact


Like most, they are stored in some old building collecting dirt and grime but a good scrub with TSP, soap and water get them clean again.


All dry and ready for paint, I chose milk paint as raw wood is perfect sub straight to use on and it is fitting for the era.


In honor of upcoming spring I went with Homestead House Milk Paint in upper Canada green.


I also used it on this antique table too


I applied 2 coats on the "front" side, sanded it smooth and added Homestead House espresso furniture wax to age it further


On the back side I did the same thing with Homestead House Milk Paint in Quaker blue


This gives the piece flexibility. I love these windows for dry erase boards, as shown above, photo frames or just pretty home decor additions. Watch how easy  using as dry erase is below.
