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 Kitchen Collection



This collection of kitchen goodies was compiled with plans of doing all in a lovely farmhouse white.


They will all coordinate so can be bought together or individually and fit into most kitchen decor schemes when done in a pretty neutral.


I went with Fusion Mineral Paint in Champlain; a soft warm white. All but 1 piece was painted two coats, most were lightly distressed for a further farmhouse feel with Fusion's ageing wax added for even more dimension and vintage look.

this coffee mug tree is first up




followed by 2 solid wood paper towel holders. One was left more modern with no ageing wax or distressing.




There is loads of slots in this solid oak knife block

And this expandable accordion style wall rack can hand either direction and would be fabulous to hang vintage tea towels on, mugs, the entry for hats / scarves or even in the bedroom for jewelry. So versatile!


Here is a combo of them all :)
