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.

After and Before ;)

As always start with a good scrub with warm soapy water and a touch of Fusion Mineral Paint TSP.

When dry it is time to paint. It was a cold day here in Alberta Canada so I painted right in my living room. With no VOC, Fusion Mineral Paint is the perfect paint to use indoors.
