Sewing chest: re-do

Pictured here is an old wood chest of drawers, purchased about twelve years ago at a yard sale in MS. It was originally painted solid white, and had small round white porcelain drawer pulls. Actually, those pulls were not large enough to open the drawers easily. No drawers in the before photo. Looking back, 'should have made a better before photo. The first photo is the chest after refinished. Please continue reading to see more photos.

There is the top, after being sanded and varnished. It was white, and I decided to varnish it olde maple for some contrast to the Valspar® Brisk Olive eggshell paint. The varnish has clear coat polyurethane already mixed in. After the chest was all dry, it got larger round antique gold tone drawer pulls. Do you like my choices for paint, varnish and pulls? Yes, in the left corner of the first photo you can see another olive item. Come back soon, that's another post.
