Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community, it is wonderful to have you with us.

What a fantastic result, @sophieleigh. The forest green and brushed gold combination gives the dresser a bold, polished look, and selling it for $800 after picking it up for $80 is an impressive turnaround.

Do you happen to have any before photos you could add? It would be great to see just how much the dresser changed through the restoration.

Regardless, congratulations on a job well done and thank you for sharing.

Hello @sophieleigh

Thank you very much for sharing those photos of the cabinet before you upcycled them. It's definitely a big change and the cabinets look great with its new colours and handles.
