    I thought those drawer pulls would be too large for the smaller drawers but actually was surprised at how appropriate they do look. A very well done piece.

    On the gold paint, fancy artists of years gone by would have a deep red paint under gold leaf. It just makes the gold look richer and deeper. Maybe something to experiment with? But I agree, it looked really good in the alcove parts. You have so much talent

    One way to cut down on taping or scraping mirrors and glass is to lightly wet newspaper and it will stick to the glass/mirror. Paint and remove. You should have little or no scraping. I've used this technique and it works great. Congrats on the new house. Hope it will be perfect for your family. I know you will make it look lovely.

      Use free color sample cards from the paint section of your hardware store or junk mail.Don’t pay for paper! I get enough junk mail and fake credit cards to do every glass! And Maddox furniture is considered some of the best mass-produced furniture in this country! Maddox literally invented most of the equipment that is still used to produce furniture in a factory setting!

    About those bowls...BEFORE USING them for food, THOROUGHLY BLEACH them, as substances (from previous food use) absorb into the wood. Put them outside, in the sun, to dry. After they have been sanitized, treat the bowls, inside and outside, with an appropriate oil that is safe for foods.
