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.

I assembled it and seeing it was a stake it worked perfect to spray stuck in the ground.
Wanting just the petals painted I taped off the center with painters tape


And sprayed away under the careful eye of my support team


Remove the tape and it is complete


an easy solution to create a one of a kind piece of art in my yard


The fun color gives my yard the perfect punch of color.
