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.

Large Wooden Farmhouse Inspired Jewelry Box in Linen White



Such a pretty update for this jumbo jewelry box!


Vintage wooden jewelry box with LOADS of storage and style.


The ring holder side needed to be reglued and straightened, easy enough with wood glue, clamps and some thin boards for support.


Now for a good cleaning, I like to use this spray on cleaner from Cottage Paint. Just look at the grunge that came off in the first swipe!

I chose a soft crisp white for this beauties update, Rustoleum Chalked Ultra Matte Paint in linen white. It is available in a project kit with everything you need.


See my completed Patina lamps in blue and ones in green and a sweet silver dish as well as  aubergine painted nightstand, garden art and jewelry box



It is the perfect refresher color for the update.


The paint glides on so smooth you can even paint with your non dominant hand easily ;)


However there may have been a few times I might have attempted to dip my brush in the wrong container !! (job hazard)


Two coats of linen white were hand painted on and left to dry well.


Using a sponge sander, it was sanded smooth with further distressing on the edges to give a rustic farmhouse feel.


To seal it all, Rustoleum's matte top coat was brushed on. 


To keep the rustic look, dark wax was added, perfect!



Just look at all the storage.
