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.

Paper Towel Makeover Number 3! Easy Update

 


Talk about a second act! This classic wooden paper towel holder was originally a "reloved" piece I did for my daughter, with first relove in yellow then a second update in sophisticated navy. After serving its time, it returned to my studio for a total transformation #3. Ditching the navy shade, I dipped it into a vibrant, bold teal—a color chosen specifically to give it that irresistible pop and pizzazz. It's now a standalone statement piece, ready to brighten up its next kitchen.


Here is the paper towel back for a yet another new look after years of the navy update.


After a good damp wipe down and light scuff sand with a sanding sponge, the pretty teal paint color mirage from the Dixie Belle silk mineral paint line was brushed on using a small flat synthetic brush.



After the first coat was dry, the steps were repeated. Light sand with sanding sponge to keep the surface smooth and buttery, another coat of teal paint with the brush and it is complete. 

Such an easy way to update any kitchen piece to a new color.

This silk mineral paint has a built in primer and top coat making it the perfect one step paint.


Other pieces I have done in mirage.
