Bamboo Tray In Teal

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.

Paint is the perfect updater to any home decor, see how I updated these bamboo trays to give them pizzazz and personality.

Starting with the smaller one on top.

I went with House & Canvas's antique teal, 2 coats then sanded to give a wee bit of distressing. The entire tray was sealed with clear wax then antiquing wax added to further add age and dimension.
