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.

Farmhouse Chair Pair Update in Fusion's Champlain


A good customer custom called my last press back chair and brought 2 of her own dining chairs to be painted to match along with a wee step stool to paint a fun teal.


Here are all before


Above all cleaned and ready to paint and below 1 coat of  Fusion Mineral Paint in Champlain. Again I used my large oval Staalmeester brush to apply it.


And here is 2 coats

Both were lightly distressed then Fusion's ageing wax  was rubbed on. See left is done and right is not



Here they are with big sister press back





Here is a closeup of the stool, she wanted it done just like the exact same stool I did before Christmas in antique teal. Hers was honey was the only difference :)
