Solid Wood Spice Rack is spiced up

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.

Solid wood kitchen spice racks have been trending for sometime with alternative uses. They are super handy to store essential oils, nail polish, perfumes and other beauty products in the bathroom.

A small collectible shelf is also another use.

Repainted a fun color also adds a punch to a kitchen as a traditional spice rack.

For this one I chose Krylon spray paint in chalky finish color waterfall.

Spray multiple thin coats on all sides in a well ventilated area and allow to dry.

I lightly sanded the edges with a sanding sponge for a more vintage feel then sealed all sides with the Krylon spray paint clear chalky finish spray sealer.

To further age and add dimension, I hand waxed the entire piece in Daddy Vans black wax.

This deepened the color as well for a gorgeous teal shade.
