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.

IKEA Lamp Update

 


My middle daughter requested her light wood IKEA lamp base get a makeover to match her homes all black style. With a few simple steps it became exactly what she envisioned.

The sleek modern look of this IKEA lamp would be perfect done all in black right?


After the cord and post were released and moved to the side the base was wiped clean then lightly sanded to scuff up the wood surface then wiped free of any dust.


Using my flat small Dixie Belle synthetic brush I brushed on the classic anchor Dixie Belle silk mineral paint.


Two coats of this amazing all in one paint was needed. No extra steps are needed but if the piece was to get allot of wear an additional Dixie Belle satin clear coat  could be applied.


The super simple and quick update gives a whole new cohesive look to the lamp.


The pretty bulb was put in and this beauty is ready to light up the night!!
