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.

Vintage French Provincial End Tables Walnut Stain & Limestone



These 2 sweet French provincial accent tables were part of a trio. I shared the makeover of the coffee table HERE. It was done in a very similar base color but not exactly the same. These two were done to match this coffee table from last summer I did for my sister. She had called these two to be done to match and I finally had time to get to them seeing she was coming from Las Vegas next month to pick them up ;)


Of course first step was to clean them up good with warm soapy water and some Fusion Mineral Paint TSP.

then the top was chemically stripped with stripper and wiped with mineral spirits to remove and residual stripper.


The double decker accent table right has the top level sanded and the bottom level just stripped

And both now sanded to bare wood


Next step was to apply General Finishes antique walnut gel stain to all the tops.


Such a great color




The bases were painted Fusion Mineral paint in limestone


These both are shown with one coat but 2 were applied for a nice coverage.


The tables were lightly sand distressed then I added dark wax to the warm white using Fusion Mineral paint dark wax in espresso.

  2. These are beautiful! I picked up a two-tiered end table last week and did a similar project.
