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.

Sofa table painted Homestead House midnight blue milk paint



A good teacher friend had this sofa table built by some of her students in shop class. It was custom built to fit her area and made of solid oak. The orangy stain however was no longer loved so it was changed up with Homestead House milk paint in midnight blue.



This deep navy color is a perfect classic choice to completely change the look. I applied 2 coats mixed with extra bond to ensure great adhesion to this smooth surface on all sides, sanded it smooth and sealed it with Homestead House black wax which deepens the color even more.


Perfect transformation, right? Check out an antique table done to match it
