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's coal black and liming wax Vintage Chair


This solid oak chair made by Canadian furniture company Krug was given new life with Fusion Mineral Paint  in classic coal black.


The curvy comfy styling makes this chair perfect as an accent chair, desk chair, bedroom chair or extra seating at a dining table.


Two coats of Fusion Mineral Paint in coal black covered the chair easily. To add a unique twist, Fusion's newly released liming wax was hand rubbed all over casting a fun fresh finish; classic black with a twist.
