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 White Curio Cabinet


This little wooden curio cabinet has been farmhouse styled!!


Here is the before shots of this cutie


It was painted Fusion Mineral Paint in Champlain.


Two coats were applied after a good cleaning and the glass removed. All the edges were lightly distressed to reveal the original dark stain followed by Fusion Mineral Paint's ageing wax.



I was working on more projects in this wonderful warm white color. Here are all the Champlain pieces together.

Once dry, the glass was put back in, the mirror cleaned well and the shelves set in place. 






The ornate top can be removed as well for a different look
