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.

Trash Can Deodorizers


I saw a post on Facebook to make some trash can deodorizers. They looked easy enough to make seeing I had all the ingredients in my house but not the silicon molds. Luckily I found one at our local church thrift sale.


Following the blog post I got out my ingredients.

1 cup baking soda
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup distilled water
20 drops lemon essential oil
10 drops lavender essential oil

And mixed them in a glass bowl.


I added more baking soda as mine were runny but once pushed into the mold they were even more runny.


I left them for 4 days to dry well.


But even then they did not pop out of the mold looking pretty BUT they sure smelled good.


I stored the extra in a glass canister and have some in my trash cans currently. Next time I may try and find a simple smooth silicon mold design.
