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.

Classic Navy Barstools


Paint can make all the difference on a piece of furniture or in this case 2 pieces ;)


The customer wanted her bar stools updated in a deep navy to add some pizzaz to her home.


After a good scrub down with soapy warm water with some TSP alternative to be sure the surface was good and clean, the edges that were a bit chipped over time were sanded. A quick wipe with a clean cloth then the paint was brushed on. I chose Fusion Mineral Paint in midnight blue using my rectangular Cling On brush' perfect for the flat spindles .


Great visual of the difference just one coat of paint makes. Two coats were brushed on in total.


When dry, they were paper bag sanded to give a buttery smooth surface.


And as an added bonus, the seat was wiped with a hemp oiled cloth to add a bit more durability.
