From Gilded to Grounded: A Standing Jewelry Armoire's Dark Moody Transformation

Sometimes, a "bright and airy" makeover just doesn’t fit the vibe. I found this standing jewelry armoire after it had already been given a white and gold facelift by someone else, but it felt a bit too "glam" for many people. I knew it had the potential to be something much more sophisticated, mysterious, and—of course— moody . In this tutorial, I’m taking you through the process of retaining some of the previous DIY and layering on a deep, velvety dark green finish. We’ll be leaning into those shadows, highlighting the unique curved silhouette. Whether you're looking to tone down a piece that's "too bright" or you're ready to embrace the dark academia aesthetic, here is how I turned a high-contrast piece into a seamless, moody masterpiece.

new table projects

I purchased 2 new tables this week..

this is a 53X42 antique oak table which I am going to refinish the top and maybe legs or may do them antique white (thanks to Sheldon for mapquesting thru the city to retrieve for me!)
and this pedestal set with 4 chairs I plan to do all antique white with distressing and glaze or could do it like this cover photo and do the chairs my signature blue
