Mens Valet in Grey

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.

What better way to get Dad organized for Father's Day then getting him a custom painted mens valet?

This handsome wood valet was custom called in classic grey for Father's Day!

It was all cleaned up well with a good vacuum and scrub.

Then painted 2 coats of little lamb from Fusion Mineral Paint

Then distressed to reveal that stained wood underneath.

Fusion has a built in top coat so does NOT require any further steps but to add some further age and dimension, Daddy Vans black wax was hand rubbed all over and wiped back.
