Expanding Wine Rack

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.

Calling all wine connoisseurs, here is the perfect one of a kind vintage wine rack for you!

Solid wood with brass accents holding 10 of the finest bottles of vino, it has been updated in a beautiful rich teal color. First step was to scrub it up well.

I chose Krylon Sea Glass Finish spray paint in aqua, yes this paint is meant for use on glass but I wanted a stain like finish on this dark stained wood.

The spray paint worked perfect. Apply more light coats in a well ventilated area (I do it in our barn) turning the piece as you go to get all sides. I used one can for this project.

Then let it dry

The brass rivets were wiped with mineral spirits to bring back the brass shine. The edges were also distressed using a sanding sponge, then black wax rubbed on to add more dimension.

And this one of a kind piece is complete!
