Modern Heirloom: MCM Black & Natural Wood 6-Drawer Dresser

This stunning Mid-Century Modern dresser is a masterful blend of timeless design and contemporary refinement. Finished in a classic satin black, the body provides the perfect contrast to six elegantly curved, linear drawers, each showcasing a rich natural wood stain that highlights the beauty of the grain. At 50" L x 19" D x 32" H, this statement piece offers generous storage while making a bold, sophisticated impact in any room. A modern heirloom, reimagined for today’s interiors.

A good customer of mine gifted me this large wood window frame sans glass (29X40). I knew it would make the prefect rustic chalkboard.

After a good scrub to get rid of years of dirt and grime accumulated during storage,  I went with Old Fashioned Milk Paint in oyster white painting all sides in two coats.

I dry brushed on a dark grey, a light grey and taupe then power sanded all sides well to smooth any raised wood, paint and rough spots.


To seal the milk paint I rubbed on Daddy Vans lavender scented clear wax, dry brushed some more OFMP in oyster white then sealed everything with Daddy Vans clear wax again topped with cafe noir, a gorgeous dark wax.


To create the chalkboard center, I cut a piece of hardboard to fit, painted it in 3 coats of Rustoleum black chalkboard paint, sanding between coats.
