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.

Antique Farmhouse Tray


Every antique piece deserves a relove no matter how small.


I loved the simple but pretty details on this solid wood antique tray as soon as I saw it and knew it would look fabulous with a reloving paint update.


I did the above group of home decor pieces all in a warm farmhouse white, Dixie Belle's drop cloth.

Two coats followed by a light sanding to smooth and distress a wee bit. White milk paint was dry brushed over all to add highlights.
