Ash & Ebony Oak End Tables

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.

A good friend gave me her solid oak end tables to makeover. Being solid wood they have years of use left but the dated orange stain needed to go.

Both were scrubbed I thought well but after dry and a coat of black stain was applied,

this happened. The stain repelled on many areas which would indicate that a product like Pledge was used over the years.

The best solution at this point was to power sand lightly to smooth the pitted stain and change the plan to Fusion Mineral Paint

Their charcoal color called ash was brushed on with a good synthetic brush. This highly pigmented paint required only 1 solid coat with a few touch ups once dry.
