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.

Little Tea Pot Frame

 

This solid wood frame was custom called to match a cute wooden tote a customer purchased. This fresh color update is perfect to bring in spring.


The before was ok but really needed a makeover. 
Step one ; take out art work, scrape off gunky crud off the top, scrub well with warm soapy water and Fusion TSP Alternative. Once dry lightly sand the frame smooth.


This is the raised stencil wood tote she purchased and wanted a frame to match.


Fusion Mineral Paint in the pretty tea pot was brushed on all sides but the inner gold edge. Two coats were painted on in total.

HERE are other little tea pot projects.


Using a sanding sponge lightly distress the edges for some rustic character.


Fusion Mineral Paint's ageing wax was brushed in all the crevices to add age.


It adds a perfect aged look as per the name.


And it is ready to be added to the customers home décor with the sweet wood tote.
