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.

Salt and Pepper sets in fun colors


I love wooden salt and pepper sets, big and small. They are a fantastic way to add color and fun to your kitchen and dining rooms. Here is a few I recently painted up to restock.


see all sizes but all solid wood




step one.. scrub up all well to remove and oil or other things that may impede paint adhesion
then paint


This large 14"+ french engraved grinder was painted Old Fashioned Milk Paint in pitch black, sponge sanded and distressed then sealed with 2 coats of  Fusion's hemp oil



This sweet little chubby with silver hardware was painted 2 coats of 
Fusion Mineral Paint in the fun color azure. Fusion has a built in top coat and just required a light sponge sanding to smooth the paint to a buttery finish.



This smooth dark wood beauty was painted 2 coats of my most popular S&P color to date: American Paint Company's Fireworks red. After a light sponge sanding the paint was sealed with APC clear wax then dark waxed details which also enriches the red color using my favorite Fusion Mineral Paint's ageing wax .



The 12" Baribocraft set was done in the same steps





And for this last set I chose American Paint Co in beach glass. Again 2 coats went on with APC clear wax sealing them up and Fusion Mineral Paint's ageing wax last for the added age and detailing.
