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.

Easy Coat Rack Update

 

Another project on my own personal makeover list was a little coat rack. My husband uses for his clothes but it was missing half the pegs and was the atrocious glossy orange stain. It was time to give it a makeover.


The poor thing had missing pegs and needed a fresh new color update. First give it a good cleaning to remove anything that may hinder the paint application.


I let my husband choose the paint color. He chose black sands Dixie Belle silk mineral paint. I brushed it on with a flat small Dixie Belle synthetic brush.


I had this piece of wood in my scraps pile that worked to replace the broken pegs. Lengths were cut to size, the one end tapered with sanding paper to fit in the round existing hole and the original screw put in the end. They have square ends but that is ok as this works for our own home.


Here is my husband creating the missing pegs as I paint the rack.

Two coats of the charcoal paint were brushed on and it is ready to serve again. The silk mineral paint is the perfect paint as it s a one step type with built in primer and top coat.


You can see the square ended pegs mixed with the original rounds but it all works as they are meant to hang things on and be covered. Just as shown below! So grab some paint and update something you have wanted a color change on today.
