Updated Hardware on Nightstand Turned End Table

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.

I wanted to share this quick update with you. The nightstand below is a lovely solid wood piece however the Chippendale hardware dates it but this is easily fixed. I chose a Baroque pull in Venetian bronze with an old rose design along with the matching knobs from D Lawless Hardware. This hardware company has virtually everything in their catalog. Check them out!

I also used these pulls and knobs on this gorgeous rustic dresser, check it out!! It is one of my favorites.

Before putting on the new hardware the nightstand was scrubbed well to remove and past residue then rehydrated and shine added using Daddy Van's orange oil furniture cleaner.

Crazy when I was scrubbing it and it was turned upside down I found this little added hiding cubby. Isn't that funny? Now to remember it is there going forward.
