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.

Rustic Country Chairs Makeover in Classic Black


Rustic farmhouse chairs reloved in classic shades of black, yes please.


A very good customer brought me these chairs he had painted to go with a table he purchased from me years ago he had changed up to black. I redid the dining table back to warm white but decided to keep the black on the chairs but to lessen the starkness in contrast with the light wood seats.


I scrubbed them up as the usual first step before sanding the seats to remove paint off the edges and get a fresh new wood surface.

The raw wood was hydrated and stained using Fusion Mineral Paint's Stain & Finishing Oil in ebony. This is the most fabulous product; wipe it on and wipe of the excess, let dry.


Two coats were applied to each chair.


The chair back and base were refreshed with a coat of Fusion Mineral Paint in coal black using my R16 small round Cling On Brush perfect for spindles.


Now they are the perfect blend of blacks don't you think?
