Modern Heirloom: MCM Black & Natural Wood 6-Drawer Dresser

This stunning Mid-Century Modern dresser is a masterful blend of timeless design and contemporary refinement. Finished in a classic satin black, the body provides the perfect contrast to six elegantly curved, linear drawers, each showcasing a rich natural wood stain that highlights the beauty of the grain. At 50" L x 19" D x 32" H, this statement piece offers generous storage while making a bold, sophisticated impact in any room. A modern heirloom, reimagined for today’s interiors.

Jumbo Wood Tray


This gorgeous wood tray was purchased at a local church thrift sale. It had such beautiful grain and size I could not pass it by.


Somewhere along the lines it must have had handles of some sort. I filled this with wood filler and sanded the tray smooth.



I will add this sleek new silver handles but which orientation? I did a poll on the Creative Moment's Instagram and Facebook pages; there were loads of votes but both were split about 50/50.


We decided to go with on the side for ease of handling, easier storing and better stability. My handyman drills new holes for the hardware and I installed it.



I had envisioned the word GATHER on this tray. Using my script stencil I moved it around to see where it would look best. My sister suggested the lower corner which I loved!


Using chocolate Fusion Mineral Paint I stenciled the word on.


To rehydrate and seal the wood I applied clear wax and hand rubbed it in. Perfection!
