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.

Malachite Jewelry Box


Isn't this a gorgeous jewelry box? The dark carved front just pops with this amazing malachite color from Jolie Paint.


This new jewelry box is lined with a lovely cream lining with great storage including a divided area and ring display and a bonus mirror.


I chose the color malachite from Jolie Paint nestled in this recently delivered parcel.


You can check out some of the other colors in this box used on these projects; navy on this sweet sofa table and verdigris used on this adorable chair and malachite on this cute accent chair.


Jolie Paint's malachite, in just a tester size was perfect. Two coats were applied in total (1 coat shown above and 2 below) then the jewelry box was wet distressed to reveal the lovely dark original finish and carved details.




 To seal the paint I applied Jolie's clear wax.


When the clear wax was dry, I added Fusion Mineral Paint's black and ageing waxes to add a bit more dimension.
