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.

Walnut Stained Tub Tray


Custom ordered tub tray AKA bathtub board stained and customized ready for Christmas.


Actually I had two ordered so purchased 2 hobby boards; one 10" W and one 12" w both 36" long.


This tray is the 10" wide board with edges sanded with a sanding sponge all ready to be stained with Dixie Belle No Pain Gel Stain in walnut: a rich brown color.


below is a video view of the stain going on


I applied it with a blue shop towel with the grain on both sides. One coat is all that was need to get this gorgeous color below.

The right board is the 12" board in black caviar from Zar.


Once it was dried well it was time to customize. I finally got to use my Cutting Edge Stencils script alphabet stencil and smaller stencil brush.


I chose Dixie Belle caviar for the stenciling to create the word relax.



The board was then sealed on both sides with 3 coats of Dixie Belle satin clear coat lightly sanded with a Dixie Belle sanding sponge between coats.


And it is all ready to be wrapped and put under the tree for one deserving Mom :)


I love the simplicity this stain color and word evoke.

    Just like that lazy Susan, your bathtub board looks amazing! Love the stencils. I actually hadn't thought of that. Really, there's no surprise there - I'm not that creative. What a beautiful gift that would make. Thanks for sharing it at the Farmhouse Friday LP. Merry Christmas!
