Not sure why I can't upload multiple images, but there's another one just like this. Added some transtint dye to two coats of shellac, then two coats of poly, sprayed on with an HVLP gun. In hindsight, there are a few changes I would make to my design to make them easier to build, but I'm happy overall (and so is my wife)

I used long miters on the legs, and I set my table saw to 44.9° to get a slightly better outer edge, but didn't fully consider the consequences. So the legs were slightly out of square, which made the sides, drawers, and shelves a bit squirrelly. In the future, I'll just set the blade to 45° and fill any gaps in the joint (or just don't use long miters).

Also learned that figure eight tabletop fasteners are stupid easy to install and work great. Got a bit more confident in building/installing drawers, which is something I've struggled with in the past.

    Why does the drawer front cover the legs?

    I really like the green drawers in the kitchen.
