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.

3 Frames in Country Chic Bliss


Seeing I am on a frame roll,, I had scrubbed up a couple more as well as a mirror I recently purchased. I ended up doing them all in Country Chic paint color pallet "bliss". 
Check out a gorgeous dresser I did in bliss too.

Lets start with the mirror


When I paint mirrors I like to slide smooth glossy card stock under the frame edge to protect the glass and make painting so much easier.


Country Chic paint color  "bliss" was brushed on using my favorite Cling On brush F40. With a wet cloth I wiped back the raised detailing areas to reveal the gold for a beautiful color combination.




Next are these 2 gold frames



They both had 2 coats of bliss painted on as well.
I was working on the horse statue which was done in a similar color but spray paint.



The ornate frame I did the same wet distressing to reveal those stunning gold details then Country Chic metallic in belt buckle was dry brushed over the paint for even more iridescent glimmer.



On the ridged frame the same metallic was brushed over the bliss to bring out the details!




These are absolutely beautiful in person
