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.

Driftwood Stain Oil Finished Kids Table and Chairs


Taking an IKEA kids set from below to above in these steps


Step 1 : take apart with allen wrench and power sand all solid pine pieces all sides and wipe well


Step 2: Use Homestead House's stain and finishing oil all in one in driftwood and apply


Step 3: Let dry overnight and apply a second coat, sponge sanding after each coats is dry.


Step 4: I chose Fusion Mineral Paint in the color little lamb, a soft grey, and applied 2 coats on the chair seats.


I thought about painting the table top this grey as well but decided the scrub-able  surface is very appealing so left it original.


The two tone look works great


Step 5: put all the pieces back together and this IKEA hack is complete
