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.

Mandala Lazy Susan


I LOVE MANDALAS... as you may have guessed by my recent post on stenciling one on my deck, this sweet geometric coffee table, this cute round coffee table, this sweet lazy susan and atop these saddle stools.


I knew this black lazy susan would look perfect with an ombre mandala stencil.

It was scrubbed up clean ready for paint.


I went with a mandala stencil from Muddaritaville Studio, the same one I used on the stool tops.

Be sure to stop by Muddaritaville with this link for 10% off your stencil order.


Using a small stencil brush I applied Fusion Mineral Paint little lamb in the center, then putty and finally picket fence on the outside

Check out this past post for stenciling tips.


However once the stencil was removed I did not care for the putty with the other 2 colors.


So I put the stencil back in place 


and blended the little lamb and picket fence to get a middle tone and stenciled it over the putty.


PERFECT!!

      thank you for the kind words, it seems I missed sharing the final step, I used clear wax to add a layer of protection over the stencil :)
