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.

IKEA Farmhouse White Table


This IKEA table has been updated in a fresh farmhouse white style to become a minimalist computer station.


Before it was your typical orange tinged stained boring table but it was the perfect size a customer wanted for her computer station.

First step, scrub table clean with Simple Green cleaner.


and she wanted it white; hello Jolie Paint's  palace white.

It was also used on these latest projects.


The first coat shows the potential this table now has.


Hold up, after the first coat dried ink spots bled thru. Zinsser Bull’s Eye spray shellac can stop that. Spray a couple coats.


To add dimension to the solid white, Jolie Paint 's french grey was randomly brushed on using a  2” chip brush.


Another coat of palace white was brushed over using my  spray mister to blend well.


Brush and blend


Everything was then sanded smooth with a sanding sponge as well as distressing the edges to keep the farmhouse feel.


To seal it all up, using Jolie's fabulous wax brush I applied their clear wax.


It gives a beautiful finish to this table. Three coats were waxed on after each one dried well to add durability to the top and get the perfect sheen.
