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.

Dining Room Light Fixture Update with Spray Paint


One last condo spray painted update: this dining room light fixture.



My daughter found this solid brass beauty at the Restore store. It was what she wanted to replace the existing light fixture at her new condo. She did however want it matte black.


To make her wish come true, we taped off all the glass using painters tape then sprayed on many thin light coats using Rustoleum 2X ultra cover spray paint in matte black. Hanging it to spray paint allows you to get inside outside and all sides.


Once good and dry, the tape was removed and my daughter assisted her Dad in hanging it.

My daughter added updated IKEA LED light bulbs with gold bases for long lasting warm glow.
