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.

I love pewter and wooden jewelry boxes so when I saw this cutie I had to buy it.


The divided neutral colored interior is perfect to store treasures in.


I chose a royal rich purple called aubergine from Dixie Belle Paint. After two coats were brushed on the paint was sealed with clear Dixie Belle's best dang wax.


Next the carved grooves were highlighted with silver Dixie Belle gemstone mousse using a small artist brush. Applying the clear Dixie Belle's best dang wax allows the mousse to be wiped away easily if it goes out of the areas you want it with a damp cloth.


To add even more charm, the piece of the lace Dixie Belle transfer was added to the inside on the lift up top. The purple paint was not sealed on the inside top lid until after the transfer was applied. Clear wax then sealed both paint and transfer.


And the makeover is complete after the inside was vacuumed out with my handy hand held vacuum.








here is a video tour too
