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.

Vintage Window milk painted



Isn't this a neat sized vintage window? It even has the glass intact


Like most, they are stored in some old building collecting dirt and grime but a good scrub with TSP, soap and water get them clean again.


All dry and ready for paint, I chose milk paint as raw wood is perfect sub straight to use on and it is fitting for the era.


In honor of upcoming spring I went with Homestead House Milk Paint in upper Canada green.


I also used it on this antique table too


I applied 2 coats on the "front" side, sanded it smooth and added Homestead House espresso furniture wax to age it further


On the back side I did the same thing with Homestead House Milk Paint in Quaker blue


This gives the piece flexibility. I love these windows for dry erase boards, as shown above, photo frames or just pretty home decor additions. Watch how easy  using as dry erase is below.
