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.

Salt & Pepper in Dixie Belle Drop Cloth



This sweet set is combined with the above pepper grinder and the below salt shaker. The below pepper grinder was also done in another farmhouse white but with another salt shaker partner.


I like to mix and match pieces as it seems there are always singles to be found.


All the above pieces were done in the same gorgeous "Drop Cloth" from Dixie Belle Paint. 
Here are the green crate, the strawberry crate and the candle holder makeovers. 


The salt and pepper pieces each got 2 coats drying after each followed by a coat of Dixie Belle's best dang wax in clear to seal them.


And as the final step, again from my Dixie Belle's sack o' wax I chose brown wax to add detail, dimension and age.

    Your salt and pepper shakers are perfect! I would never had thought they didn't belong together if I hadn't seen the before photos. I especially like the slight size difference. I picked this as one of my features at this week's Snickerdoodle Create Bake Make Link Party.
