Coal Black Pepper Grinder with White Wax

Refinished Solid Oak Queen Headboard – Classic Black with Rattan & Elegant Details

This stunning queen-size headboard is a true statement piece, crafted from solid oak and beautifully refinished in a rich, classic black. It features gracefully curving finials, intricate oval cartouche accents, and a striking inset rattan panel that adds texture and timeless appeal. Finished with a smooth satin clear coat for durability and a subtle sheen, this headboard blends traditional charm with modern sophistication.

This solid wood and stainless steel pepper grinder from Cole & Mason was in fantastic shape but really need a punch of color or in this case the absence of color as I chose black, Fusion Mineral paints coal black to be exact.

Two coats of black were applied, each coat brushed in a different direction to create a cross hatch pattern. This adds texture to the grinder as well and for a bit of additional pizzaz I wiped on Miss Mustard Seed's white wax which caught nicely in the cross hatch pattern and softened the black.
