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.

Copper and Shades of Blue Tin Tile Set



Another custom ordered faux tin tile set, this set is in shades of turquoise, robin's egg blue, silver and copper. You can see shades of grey set of 4, silvers & blues, and another custom grey set of 4.


This Etsy customer chose tin tile stencil #1, I have 3 pattern options to choose from. Using Fusion Mineral Paint's pearl embossing paste the raised stencil was applied to each of the 12" X 12" hardboard pieces.


Fusion Mineral Paint in chocolate was brushed over the raised stencils as the base coat.


Next layers of blues were dry brushed over in a variety of colors.



The customer wanted 2 lighter and 2 darker. Here is the difference between the two.


Fusion Mineral Paint metallic in copper and silver along with pearl wax were then added to give shine and more dimension to the tile pattern using my favorite tool; my fingers. :) 

Below you can see one completed with the addition of metallics and the other not.
