Elegant MCM Tallboy in Cast Iron Black with Natural Wood Accents

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.

Turning Silver a pretty blue patina


While I was working on my bedroom lamp bases using Modern Masters metal effects Patina kit I spotted this silver dish/plate in my stock and decided to give it a go too.


first step, scrub well


then add a coat of primer and let dry half hour before adding a 2nd one and let dry well. I waited overnight.


Next bronze paint, again apply the first coat and let dry half hour  


then add another coat of bronze and while wet spray with product #3, the blue patina spray and you are done!

Above left is freshly sprayed and right is as it dries shown on the lamp bases


I did have an area that did not take once dry and after a few attempts to touch up I contacted Modern Masters and one of the suggestions was to start from step 1, this time I had success filling in the missing areas.


And the silver plate / platter is now blue patina'd and looks very old.

Do you like this finish?


I think it will be a lovely large pillar candle holder
