Teal Jewelry Box for my Daughter

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.

My daughter finally chose the color she wanted her birthday jewelry box painted. She chose renfrew blue from Fusion Mineral Paint

When I purchased it, it has an engraved plaque screwed to the top. This was removed and the holes filled with wood filler followed by a good cleaning with Simple Green cleaner
and a damp cloth.

She wanted the brass hardware to remain so all was taped off if not removable.

Now it is all ready to be painted.

Two coats of renfrew blue were brushed on then lightly distressed to reveal the lovely original wood finish on the edges.

In keeping with the antiqued age look, FusionMineral Paint's ageing wax was added.

New felt feet were added to the bottom and this beauty is ready to serve and store for years to come. The gorgeous color looks perfect in my daughters new home too.
