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.

Pitch Black Valet



Men's wooden valets are a very popular item when I find them and get them painted but they are not easy to find. Click HERE for a navy one and HERE for an ash one

I just scored this solid wood one at a thrift store and loved the more modern style but it needed an update.









Using this awesome Fusion paint brush I applied 2 coats of Old Fashioned Milk Paint in pitch black.

Once dry it was sponge sanded and distressed then sealed with Fusion Mineral Paint black wax which deepens the black color even more and adds a soft sheen.
