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.

Grey & Faux Mercury Glass Jewelry Box


Classic grey meets faux mercury glass for a new look for this solid oak jewelry box.


Choosing an exterior paint color depends on the interior lining, this large jewelry chest has a rich deep green. I chose grey for this beauty.


It has loads of storage for all kinds of jewelry treasures. Now to remove and tape off hardware and clean it well.


I had a jewelry box marathon happening. You have seen the warm white ornate one and rose quartz pink one featured earlier.


Using my favorite Fusion Mineral Paint grey, little lamb I applied 2 coats. 


The glass door was given my signature faux mercury glass treatment using Rustoleum mirror effect spray paint and vinegar.




Once dry, FusionMineral Paint's black wax  was hand rubbed in to catch in all the oak grain.
