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.

Chunky Wood Blue & Red Pepper Grinder



A recent post on painted salt and pepper sets shared my love of doing them. After painting a chicken wired frame in layers of red and blue I grabbed this solid wood chunk pepper grinder and painted it to match the frame.


After scrubbing the grinder all up and letting it dry, American Paint Co in beach glass was applied followed by their fireworks red. These layers were sealed with Minwax dark wax to deepen the colors and give a soft sheen to the grinder.


I think it is such a fun piece to have in a kitchen.
