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.

Fun Fusion Frames




Frames are such a fun way to add color in a room. Here are some I did using Fusion Mineral Paint 


First 2 up are done in English Rose, a soft pink



The ornate vintage wood frame had 2 coats of English rose then a coat of custom mixed rose gold and to bring out the ornate details, Fusion's ageing wax was wiped over all.


Chicken wire was added in the center making it perfect for photos, sunglasses, jewelry etc.



The wider solid oak frame was distressed then white washed with Fusion's liming wax for a soft pretty look. Wide grosgrain ribbon was hot waxed and power stapled in the frame to great a sweet barrette display frame.


This wide solid oak frame was painted in Fusions little tea pot. This is such a pretty aqua color.


To bring out the ridged details and give it a fun aged look, I added Fusion's ageing wax


The aged aqua finish is so lovely


On this solid wood frame, I applied Homestead House Milk Paint in Quaker blue layering on Inglenook and homestead blue and topping off with Fusion's espresso wax.




Magnetic wire mesh was added to this one




Fusion's brushed steel for the win on this pretty frame



And on this artist frame, the outside frame was painted a soft grey and the inner textured frame was painted Fusion picket fence, a bright white


A fun font was used to create a room sign to add to the center, perfect gift for my sweet God Daughter.
