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.

Farmhouse White End Table


I loved this solid wood end table built by Kaufman of Collingwood here in Canada when I first saw it. I knew it needed a color update. I thought about a few colors but white always keep coming to mind.

Step one; clean it well on all sides with a good cleaner ( I like TSP, soap and water)

Step two; paint it with House & Canvas paint in angora white

This Canadian made paint goes on smooth and covers well, see above how it covers the dark stain on the first coat.


Two coats of angora white were applied, here is complete first coat.


I distressed all the edges (as per my census poll on Instagram) then sealed it with 2 coats of clear Minwax polycrylic.



After these photos I also added Fusion Mineral Paint's ageing wax to the crevices to add just a hint of age to the farmhouse feel. 













Thanks to House & Canvas on this fabulous Instagram prize package, click here to see a Bombay Watch Chest in the angora white and an end table in the antique teal
