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.

MMS Milk Painted Shutter Grey Tray


I love updating trays; they come in so many shapes and sizes perfect to add color and quotes.


I picked up this tray stained black, the perfect base color of my weathered grey plan.


Miss Mustard Seed milk paint in shutter grey was brushed over all sides including the bottom.
Shutter grey was used on this sweet IKEA organizer and wine crate too.

A custom mixed of left over white milk paints was dry brushed over the soft grey and all were sanded smooth.


Like this very similar tray in white, I stenciled the word ENJOY using Fusion Mineral Paint in coal black.


The entire tray was sealed with clear then black waxes.
