Over the past months I've made a few passing comments and questions regarding the mission-style dresser set I was building for our master bedroom. I'm happy to report that I was able to finish it shortly after labor day, and they have been in use now for about a week. Although I don't think any of us are able to look past the little flaws and mistakes that inevitably make it into our projects, I'm pretty happy with how they turned out.
The three pieces combined were the biggest project I've ever attempted. They were my first use of inset drawers, and first significant use of spraying finishes on a woodworking project. The two dressers were based on a set of Woodcraft plans that i modified to better meet our needs, and the mirror was my own design, influenced by some I saw via a Google search, and based on elements from the dressers and the mission headboard and night stands already in our bedroom.
For those interested I have some "in progress" pictures in this album. I admit I was kind of hit and miss with them so it definitely isn't a "step by step":
