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.

Calling all wine connoisseurs, here is the perfect one of a kind vintage wine rack for you!

Solid wood with brass accents holding 10 of the finest bottles of vino, it has been updated in a beautiful rich teal color. First step was to scrub it up well.

I chose Krylon Sea Glass Finish spray paint in aqua, yes this paint is meant for use on glass but I wanted a stain like finish on this dark stained wood.

The spray paint worked perfect. Apply more light coats in a well ventilated area (I do it in our barn) turning the piece as you go to get all sides. I used one can for this project.

Then let it dry

The brass rivets were wiped with mineral spirits to bring back the brass shine. The edges were also distressed using a sanding sponge, then black wax rubbed on to add more dimension.

And this one of a kind piece is complete!
