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.

Azure Blue Pepper Grinder


Wooden pepper grinders are a fun way to inject color and personality into your kitchen. And fresh ground pepper makes everything taste better, right?


This adorable 6" solid wood pepper grinder made by Baribocraft was the perfect grinder to become bold turquoise.


Azure from Fusion Mineral Paint is the perfect color.

I use all my paint to the last drop. And after doing these 2 projects there was still some left.


Working on both the pepper mill and this fun spice rack, both were given two coats of azure.

When dry, dark antiquing wax was added in the curved and carved areas to add dimension and an aged look.

It would be perfect to have both the spice rack and pepper mill in the same kitchen.
