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.

Rustic Peppermint Stick sets for Christmas



Rustic décor is popular where I live, I had a great customer who purchased rustic fall pumpkin sets from me in the past


send me a photo from Pinterest  asking if I could create something similar.

This is my take on the photo and seeing I had a bit extra rail pieces I made a few extra.



Once cut, and painted it was time to sand and wax, my helper is so sweet


Now to add just a wee bit of something to the white ones; raffia, jute, twine and stars, hmmm




one set I added tea lights by drilling in 1 1/2" holes to the top so they sit level


Pretty cute Christmas décor
