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.

White Decoupaged Jewelry Box

 


With classic aged farmhouse white you can't go wrong, right?


I purchased this jewelry box in a package deal of 10. The seller did not want to continue painting jewelry boxes so big score for me. You can see the baby blue one top right made over HERE.



It came painted by the seller in a light grey but the finish had been scratched in storage so needed a refresh. After a good cleaning, I chose Dixie Belle Paint in my favorite drop cloth; a classic warm white.


One coat covered the box perfectly.


Then everything was distressed and sanded using a Dixie Belle sanding sponge


All was waxed in clear Dixie Belle's best dang wax then their brown wax was added. You can see the difference it makes on the top drawer compared to just clear on bottom.


The decoupaged glass was put back in and everything dark waxed.


The last step is to be sure the interior has all paint dust and any other fluff removed. The inside is vacuumed with a pointy connector end then I like to use lint roller sheets. They pick up everything; just tear off a sheet, place on the lining surfaces and lift. Then the mirror is cleaned spotless.


And the update is complete.
