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.

Homestead House Milk Paint Prairie Sunset


I have tried a few brands of milk paint but recently was given the opportunity to try Homestead House Milk Paint. Homestead House is, an almost 30 year old, Canadian paint company whose milk paint line is the only one manufactured here in Canada. They also make Miss Mustard Seed's milk paint line as well. Milk paint in a naturally green choice in painting with NO VOCs, organic and biodegradable.


They have a wide variety of colors, mostly all historic and heritage based. For this project I chose, prairie sunset, a lovely shade of yellow to relove this old accent table.

Two coats of milk paint were the perfect coverage and to keep it looking vintage, I chose antiquing tough coat, the perfect choice for a durable yet aged look sealer.






Stop by Homestead House and see what all they have to offer including many great tutorials to help you achieve success creating something beautiful. You can also find them on Facebook too as well as Creative Moments.

    What a wonderful shade of yellow, and nice finish too! I did not know Homestead House made MMS. Love the staging with the teal glass the colors really compliment each other. Thanks for sharing at Fridays Furniture Fix.
