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.

When I saw the tutorial on Fusion's Facebook page I knew I had to try this. I <3 <3 sea glass so much and I just happened to have a few jars I recently scored from the glass recycling.

yes this is what I brought home from our take it or leave it recycling table,

And I just happened to have Fusion Mineral Paint refrew blue and just a skiff of casement on hand, yeah! So with no further ado here is my take on how to make plain glass look like sea glass

and following the tutorial I created this

then added jute for a touch of rustic and bam!

my sea glass jars, perfect for votives, utensils, pencils, greenery, flowers, the list is endless! Thank you Fusion Mineral Paint for awesome paint and tutorials!
