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.

Chunky Wood Blue & Red Pepper Grinder



A recent post on painted salt and pepper sets shared my love of doing them. After painting a chicken wired frame in layers of red and blue I grabbed this solid wood chunk pepper grinder and painted it to match the frame.


After scrubbing the grinder all up and letting it dry, American Paint Co in beach glass was applied followed by their fireworks red. These layers were sealed with Minwax dark wax to deepen the colors and give a soft sheen to the grinder.


I think it is such a fun piece to have in a kitchen.
