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.

Glass Canisters go Farmhouse Style



I think glass canisters are perfect for cookies, tea, treats, flour sugar etc on your cupboard however the pale pine is just far too "vanilla". Time to amp it up...


Miss Mustard Seed milk paint in marzipan, a soft warm white color went on first. I used this same color on this sweet accent table and farmhouse pine shelf  with my angled sash Zibra brush,


To add some whimsy, I stenciled the center of my mandala stencil from Muddaritaville Studio with Fusion Mineral Paint in coal black. See the full mandala stencil used on these stools.


To age it, I dry brushed  on Homestead House Milk Paint in Confederate grey, distressed the edges and waxed with Fusion Mineral Paint clear and black waxes.
