South Western Frame gets a Coastal Update

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.

I have been on a second makeover roll lately, this versatile chicken wire solid wood frame was given a beachy update after the south western boho vibe was just not selling.

Do you remember this bold southwestern set I did awhile back? The pepper grinder sold soon after posting but the frame has sat. I decided it was time to change it up from the south westerns plains to a coastal beach vibe.

Paint makes it easy to change up especially the new Dixie Belle silk paint which is a one step paint with built in top coat and primer.

I chose serenity which looked like a soft green color in the jar. I started painting the backside first.

Then flipped over to do the front side. The color dries to a soft beachy blue; surprise! Two coats were brushed on in total allowing a couple hours between coats.

Well then lets add Dixie Belle's best dang wax in white to add more beachy drama. This gives the frame a whole new look and just a few easy steps.
