Ornate Beach Glass Frame

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.

I love frames, they are an easy way to add color to a room and can be used for more then just art or photos. My favorite use is as a sun glasses holder.

The above right ornate frame is the makeover project for this post.

It had a burgundy velour trim as seen above that I carefully removed then scrubbed the frame us well.

While I was painting this sweet jewelry box in American Paint Co's beach glass, I decided to do the frame in the same color.

While paint was just drying I went distressed to reveal the pretty gold under color thru the blue green paint.

To age it further and give definition to the ornate details I used my favorite Fusion Mineral Paint's ageing wax (see how it makes things pop on the left where the right is just the paint?)
