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.

Pitch Black Antique Chair


One of my great customers gave me this antique chair stored in an old building and I knew it would be perfect painted as a staging prop.


I decided to go with a neutral black, Old Fashioned Milk Paint in pitch black to be exact.

I recently used it on this gorgeous antique gate leg table, my daughter's bed frame, and as a base coat on this pretty chalkboard.


OFMP goes on so smooth and took only 1 coat


It was then sanded well to reveal edges and details and sealed up with Daddy Van's hemp oil


This antique chair now has a pretty new look
