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.

Black Bamboo Magazine Rack

 

This tired bamboo magazine rack was given a fresh update using spray paint. Classic glossy black seemed appropriate for the makeover don't you agree?


Step one scrub well and let dry.


Originally my plan was to do it in white and distress back to show some bamboo wood so I shook up my can of linen white chalk spray paint and got spraying.


It seems the bamboo had other ideas as it began to bleed thru all over. See the yellowing edges?

To stop this Zinsser Bull's Eye shellac was sprayed all over to seal it.


And the plan switched to a solid glossy black. Seeing there was a nice day out I took it outside to spray many thin layers of spray paint over ALL sides. Start with it upside down to get all the under areas then flip on sides once dry and continue to spray.
