Teal Jewelry Box for my Daughter

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.

My daughter finally chose the color she wanted her birthday jewelry box painted. She chose renfrew blue from Fusion Mineral Paint

When I purchased it, it has an engraved plaque screwed to the top. This was removed and the holes filled with wood filler followed by a good cleaning with Simple Green cleaner
and a damp cloth.

She wanted the brass hardware to remain so all was taped off if not removable.

Now it is all ready to be painted.

Two coats of renfrew blue were brushed on then lightly distressed to reveal the lovely original wood finish on the edges.

In keeping with the antiqued age look, FusionMineral Paint's ageing wax was added.

New felt feet were added to the bottom and this beauty is ready to serve and store for years to come. The gorgeous color looks perfect in my daughters new home too.
