Vintage Silverware Chest in Goddess Ashwagandha white

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.

I love giving vintage silverware chests a modern update; here is the latest done in a lovely farmhouse white finish.

Solid wood with lovely dark stain but lots of wear begged for this update.

And I had the perfect color in my recent Fusion Mineral Paints's Lisa Marie Holmes color collection package.

Fusion Mineral Paints's newest paint color called Goddess Ashwagandha. These little tester pots are surprising in the surface they can cover. I also used this little pot to do this wood basket too.

Two coats were applied (see the first coat on the lower half and 2 on the top) then the edges were lightly distressed with a sanding sponge to reveal some of the original dark stain.
