CUREiously Pink for Cancer Research from Fusion Mineral Paint

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.

When Fusion Mineral Paint announced a new limited release color called CUREiously, with $1 for each can sold going to cancer research, I immediately thought how pretty for a jewelry box.

I picked this well loved jewelry box at our local church rummage sale. Time for a pretty pink transformation.

The soft pink lining had come loose on one inside edge but this is easily fixed with glue, a flat piece of wood to hold it flat to the wall with some clamps.. The edges were sanded smooth, the lining vacuumed well and the entire piece cleaned well.

Now for the fun part... color! And this color is amazing.

2 coats went on using this fab Fusion brush on ALL sides allowing it to be free standing on any surface

First coat going on covering the dark wood easily

The edges were sponge sand distressed and Fusion's ageing wax added to all crevices and edges.

For a bit of sparkle and shimmer, a new metallic paint from Fusion in the color rose gold was rubbed on the raised edges. I tried it on the glass door but thought it needed a deeper gold. No worries as it easily washed off when fresh.

Rustoleum's pure gold spray paint applied with a spritz of vinegar gave it the faux mercury look but in a gold version. I sponge sanded over it then rubbed Fusion's rose gold wax over to seal and add yet a hint more pink to it.
