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.

Accent Table in Fusion's Night Swim Milk Paint

 

This cute little accent table was dropped off to be painted to match the recent antique accent table I did that the customer purchased.


It is a veneer and MDF construction with a super smooth finish. Will milk paint work on it? Yes indeed!

To be sure the paint will adhere to the table it was cleaned well with a damp cloth soaked in warm water, a bit of dish soap and  Fusion's TSP Alternative.


Have you heard Fusion Mineral Paint  now has a milk paint line?



The color used on the antique table was night swim, a deep rich navy blue. I addeFusionBonding Agent/Ultra Grip to the milk paint to ensure a smooth solid coverage to this slick surface.

I also used the night swim on this antique table as I mentioned above and toasted coconut on this antique crate and this antique drum table.


Two coats were applied (3 on the two tops) then sanded smooth with a sanding sponge which makes the surface feel like satin. To seal it and keep the antique feel I chose Fusion Hemp Oil which was brushed on, allow to sit for about 30 minutes and then wipe off the excess with a shop towel.


And it was complete. Gorgeous and a lovely match to the antique table.
