Hi Poppy,
I stripped paint off an old table for my hallway, it was painted a horrible brown and looked like a completely different piece when I stripped it. Instead of varnishing I rubbed in a few coats of beeswax (leave to dry between) Not as smelly as varnish, good for the wood and it gives a beautiful finish.
Good luck with the drawers. Vanessa
