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.

Farmhouse White Dining Chairs

 

Light stained round backed chairs get a farmhouse update to pair with this farmhouse dining table.


These chairs were very popular in the 1990's. I know because we saved up to by a solid oak dining set that included them. These 4 were the perfect set to paint to go with the dining table I had in stock.

As per usual the first step is a deep cleaning.


With warm water, dish soap, scrub brushes and a spray cleaner all sides were given a good scrub.


All were rinsed well with hose and clean water then tipped to dry.


Now onto the paint process.


I was excited to try my new Wagner Sprayer and spray tent for this project.


The sprayer is the Flexio 5000. I used Valspar furniture paint from Lowe's Canada in the color du jour in the iSpray front end nozzle.


Here are my first spray attempts on video.


But I ended up with an orange peel surface and that was not my goal. Wagner has a fabulous support phone line that gave me all the tips I needed going forward. Why did I not call them first?


For furniture, use the detail finish front end sprayer. Oh And sand the chairs to smooth the surface ;(
This is the step that would have been so good to miss but like the support fellow said "turn up the music and just get it done ;)"


Two more coats were sprayed on using the detail finish sprayer.


And the chairs are complete. Perfect compliment to the dining table don't you think?
