Bayberry Green Mens Vintage Valet

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.

Another great change up for a thrift store scored mens' valet. Usually they are requested in dark colors but this one was commissioned to be green. What do you think?

Remove hardware and scrub clean after vacuuming well.

This vintage solid wood valet had a bright orange interior that the customer was not a fan of.

But that was an easy fix painting it with Fusion Mineral Paint watered down in Ash using a 1" chip brush and spraying with a spray mister occasionally to allow the paint to absorb into the fibers. After the first coat dried well a second coat was done the same way and when dry again, all was lightly sanded.

The exterior was painted bayberry from Fusion Mineral Paint. Again two coats were brushed on then when dry all was lightly sanded using this super flexible sanding pad from Blue Dolphin to smooth and distress the edges.
