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 Bread Box


This slatted wood bread box had seen better days until it received its farmhouse makeover.


After a good scrubbing I painted 2 coats of House & Canvas's angora white.


This paint color is such a pretty warm white, see it on this end table, sweet watch chest, and a bit on this laundry room sign.

When dry I lightly sanded it all and minimally distressed the edges.


House & Canvas is a chalk like paint that needs to be sealed. I chose Fusion Mineral Paint's clear wax over all the surfaces.

I was trying to decide if dark wax (left) or leave plain (right) was best, dark wax won.


Fusion Mineral Paint's ageing wax was added to the edges for an aged look.



The verdict was split as to add words or a stencil in my Facebook poll so I will leave it for a bit and see what the buyer would like.


The farmhouse style look; what would you add if anything?



the back was finished as well
