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.

Bombay Jewelry Chest

I was excited to purchase another Bombay Co solid wood piece. This one is a jewelry chest, did you see the Bombay Co watch chest I recently did?

After cleaning it well including vacuuming the lovely green lined areas. it was ready to paint.

Two coats of Fusion Mineral Paint in raw silk went on. I love Fusion with its built in top coat and self leveling properties that make it such a great paint.

Once dry the edges were lightly sponge sanded to reveal the beautiful wood under the soft warm white. To enhance the details and give an aged farmhouse feel, I added Fusion ageing wax.
