Elegant MCM Tallboy in Cast Iron Black with Natural Wood Accents

Elevate your space with this exquisitely reimagined Mid-Century Modern tallboy chest. Once bearing a pale, dated finish, it now stuns in a rich cast iron black, beautifully contrasted by solid wood drawers finished in a warm, natural stain. Every detail has been thoughtfully curated—from the elegantly updated black hardware to the refined moldings and drawer groove accents. Smooth-gliding feet have been added for effortless movement across both hardwood and carpet. Measuring 34" W x 17.5" D x 40.5" H, this sophisticated piece offers both function and timeless style—an instant statement in any well-appointed room.

wooden canister set reloved in Fusion's putty



My Mom bought me this wooden canister set as a project, first step scrub up and let dry


Oh yes, there was one repair to be made

My first attempt at painting was with Homestead House Paint Co. in Renfrew blue but the canisters and milk paint had a mind of their own on the lids and only one side.. excessive chipping


and below is the Renfrew blue with Homestead House Paint Co. loyalist milk paint dry brushed on for a cool old denim look but with tops and one side on each really chippy it was not the look I wanted so I washed them all clean. This is the great part of milk paint until sealed.



Fusion Mineral Paint putty was the next color choice and one coat covered perfectly on all sides, bottom and lid and top edges. 


I want a vintage look so sanded all sides and edges then added  Homestead House black furniture wax for dimension and aging.
