Just sand it all down a bit.
Remove and number the drawers. No 2 drawers on Handmade furniture fit the same!
Stain the drawers. Donāt touch the sides of the drawers or they might always stick.
And maybe stain that raised design in the middle.

For inspiration here's how others have made over other pieces.
