chest of drawers, simple but elegant makeover :-)

the old yellow varnish has been completely removed from the drawers and the top and painted with walnut varnish.
the sides painted white using the roller to give a very smooth finish.

I was hoping to achieve a very elegant finish and I'm very pleased with the final look :-)
