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.

Teal Ceramic Plant Pot Update


Isn't this majesty palm lovely? And it's newly painted pot is sure pretty too.

Did you see the 2 plastic and small ceramic plant pots I updated with spray paint?


Originally this large IKEA ceramic pot was glazed a deep navy blue. It worked perfect in my old home decor but in my new home I wanted it to have a bit more of an ocean blue look.


I choose House & Canvas's antique teal. I loved it on this sweet vintage table , wooden step stool and vintage jewelry box.


One coat was brushed on with a bit of the navy left showing. Some areas had a second coat applied for a layered look.


Daddy Van's clear wax orange scented was brushed over the entire surface with their white wax added in areas for an ocean water colored look. PERFECT!


And it was now complete, ready for a new plant.


My new majesty palm was the lucky recipient to be placed in this pot. I did first pot it in a white plastic pot so it can easily be put in the shower for a tropical rain ;)


If you have pots on hand but the wrong color, dont be afraid to add some paint... and wax to amp them up!
