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.

Wood and Metal Farmhouse Riser


I am all about recycling, reusing and repurposing,


so when I saw this metal base laying forlornly at the local dump's take it or leave it I took it home. It was awhile before I found the perfect partner for it; this solid wood cutting board.


They make the perfect pair. Both were scrubbed then the cutting board was power sanded with my orbital sander till smooth and most knife marks removed. Leaving a few of course gives the piece true character of its past.


Using General Finishes antique walnut gel stain both sides were stained this rich brown color.


All 3 projects above are the same stain color but shows how the wood makes them all unique. See the dining table and the antique vanity completed.

Both sides were hand rubbed with dark wax to seal and give a lovely warm sheen.


My handy husband drilled holes thru the salvaged metal stand so I could screw the stand to the cutting board.


It is complete and such a great collaboration between two pieces married to make one don't you think?
