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.

Little Vintage Stool


This sweet little vintage stool sat forlornly on the thrift store shelf


but even thru the layers of paint; a few of them not applied so well with drips and haphazard application. I knew it could really shine again.


The poor legs were wobbly and uneven and seemed to be held in place with a rubbery glue.


I cut the glue off and dug around the edges eventually getting them out. 


The holes were cleaned out well and the legs and seat power sanded on all sides.


The legs were glued with wood glue and once set in correct position I set the solid wood magazine rack I was working on at the same time on top to keep the whole piece drying level.


Now that is was dry I added Fusion ageing wax  to enhance the wood edges revealed with the sanding and add to the aged look.


Isn't it sweet?
