Farmhouse Grey Jewelry Box

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.

LOVE these solid wood jewelry chest made by Jasco. Seeing they were made in the 80's many have seen some wear and tear. Nothing a bit of paint can't fix right?

The deep pink interior is in excellent condition and such a bold punch of color surprise when opened.

Here is the before, the top had damaged finish but being solid wood that is remedied.

Using my Dewalt orbital sander and 120 grit sand paper I sanded the top smooth.

A quick coat of cappuccino Homestead House's stain and finish oil was applied as I was staining this dining table top at the same time. This keep the wood sealed and the color consistent under the paint.

It is now ready to paint all lifted using my handy painters pyramids which make painting all sides easily.

I like to keep these vintage pieces classic so chose Country Chic Paint in lazy linen, a very soft grey color. It is original chalk formula not the all in one version. I was using it on this shadow box and buffet at the same time. Above is one coat.
