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.

Warm White Bed Frame Update


A few years back I redid a bedroom set including 4 poster bed frame and a pair of nightstands for a customer in warm white. This month she brought another solid wood bed frame to have done in the same warm white for her home.



This solid maple bed frame has great classic styling and will look fabulous updated to warm white.


Step one is to scrub it all down well. It was set up for ease of painting all sides at the same time. Edges were sanded where dinged and wood filler applied where needed (see below on post).

Zinsser Bull's Eye 1-2-3 Primer was brushed on using my favorite Cling On short brush.


First coat all on and left to dry overnight.


A second coat primer was brushed on the next day and left to dry. I was also working on this navy end table too.

 
The first coat of warm whiter paint; raw silk from Fusion Mineral Paint goes on the foot board shown above again using the shorty cling on brush.


Two coats of raw silk from Fusion Mineral Paint were brushed on over the 2 coats of primer for perfect coverage.

    You didn't mention a sealer over the one coat of primer and two coats of paint so I assume it will withstand wear and tear?

    Hi Vicky, sorry if that was not clear, it was two coats of primer and 2 coats of Fusion mineral paint. Fusion has a built in top coat that self seals so no top coat needed. I do however add a bonus clear coat when used on surfaces that get lots of use like a dresser top etc . I hope that clears it up :)
