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.

Fusion Midnight Blue Valet


Not often do I get a chance to relove something for a man so when I found this valet I was very excited to do so.


I chose Fusion Mineral Paint in midnight blue, a gorgeous deep navy color which goes well with the red lining and the perfect neutral color for a gentleman.


great thing about Fusion Mineral Paint is with its dark colors you usually only need one coat
and to keep the vintage look I distressed the edges


It was a bit more then I wanted so simply run the brush over the edges lightly and walaa


all sides painted allows it to be viewed from all sides


   Isn't it lovely??


What a fabulous piece to collect change, cell phone, wallet, rings on top or store them in the lined divided drawer
