    That's very sweet, Christian. Very nicely done. The rounding over of the joints emphasizes the nice vertical lines.

    Excellent craftsmanship. Would you share what paint you used and how you sprayed it?

    Really nice design and workmanship. It is hard to create a painted furniture item and make all the joints and transitions look great, since paint will highlight any imperfections.
    I would also like to know what type of finish you used. Thanks.

    Thanks. It is painted with General Finishes "Milk" paint, and a top coat of General Finishes High Performance satin. I used an HVLP sprayer to spray both the paint and the top coat. This was my first time spraying with an HVLP, so had to do some sanding to get rid of imperfections in between coats.

    Thanks. No, she already has mirror located on the wall, just above the vanity. We talked about a mirror for the top, but she opted to just keep the one she has.

    Thanks...The chamfer on posts and rails make the joints less of an issue. The top, though is a glue up, and I did spend some time sanding it.
