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.

Antique Tool Box


I picked this adorable hand made divided crate at an estate sale. I knew it would look awesome with a few simple steps.


My first step in any piece is to clean it well and this one needed extra cleaning, years of grime, grease and gunk covered it. I scrubbed it well with warm soapy water and Fusion Mineral Paint TSP.

Once it was good and dry it was lightly sanded to smooth out any rough bits then I applied Homestead House hemp oil with a chip brush.



After letting is soak in well I wiped off the excess and buffed when dry and this sweet piece of history is ready to be proudly displayed. Wouldn't it looks sweet with succulents planted in it (not directly in of course) or jam jars for cut flowers? I love it full of my blue insulators and old jelly jars. It would be perfect center piece for utensil storage too. The options are endless with it.




See the lovely aged zinc sofa table it is sitting on and the IKEA hacked Moppe organizer

Even the original leather strap soaked up the oil too.
