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.

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.

Country Chic Bliss


Those of you who know me or follow me, know I love shades of turquoise. When I saw the Country Chic paint color pallet "bliss", it called my name. I held out for quite awhile but finally had to try it.
enter this solid maple dresser and a match was made

step one make all repairs, lightly sand the top and scrub well, these steps are crucial to good adhesion and final look of your project

 I like to use a good quality synthetic brush when applying the paint for an even application



the last of the orange stained maple to be covered in this pretty sea green, I applied 3 coats of Country Chic tough coat over the paint for easy wipe and durability of this piece


 the original hardware worked perfect with this color so after a good scrub and dry it was put back on

 LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this color
