Hello @hjsaddington
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your upcycled drawer set project.
What a beautifully upcycled piece. The transformation you achieved with these drawers is truly impressive. The embossed wallpaper on the drawer fronts adds such a distinctive texture and elegant charm, evoking a vintage feel while still looking crisp and modern. Pairing that with the soft neutral paintwork and natural timber top was a clever choice, it balances warmth and refinement perfectly.
Again, thank you for sharing such a beautiful project.
