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

Sometimes, a "bright and airy" makeover just doesn’t fit the vibe.

Krylon sea glass creations


I LOVE sea glass but land locked in Alberta Canada makes it very hard to get many pieces. Luckily Krylon created a new product called sea glass spray paint. It comes in a few colors but of course aqua and sea foam spoke to me right away.


I practiced with these little glass votive jars


then chose this pretty decanter


and sprayed it multiple coats of both colors alternately outside in good ventilation
 and after a couple days I sprayed it with Krylon matte sealer for added durability
