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.

Jumbo Golden Chalkboard Frame



Sometimes a piece just needs a new purpose. This faded dated old print was matted in a jumbo  (34"X40") modern gold frame. I could see it so much better as a chalkboard.


To protect the frame I used painters tape


then applied Rustoleum chalkboard paint with a small foam roller


giving it 4 coats (I like to do a few boards at a time) sponge sanding coats after each one dries minimum 4 hours, I also change roller direction with each coat

See other projects shown above finished here; red tray, blue tray, large milk painted frame


Remove the tape and whalaa
