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.

Vintage jewelry boxes can be readily found at thrift stores. They are perfect pieces to update in pretty colors.

This sweet wood 4 drawer has a working music box that plays "Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head" as a bonus.

Only one repair was needed on a damaged corner, easily fixed with wood filler and sandpaper.

Now what color??

As a brand blogger for Fusion Mineral Paint , I received this tester size sample box of the new colors from the Lisa Marie Holmes collection. The tester sizes are perfect for small projects like this jewelry box.
