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.

Fun Fusion Frames




Frames are such a fun way to add color in a room. Here are some I did using Fusion Mineral Paint 


First 2 up are done in English Rose, a soft pink



The ornate vintage wood frame had 2 coats of English rose then a coat of custom mixed rose gold and to bring out the ornate details, Fusion's ageing wax was wiped over all.


Chicken wire was added in the center making it perfect for photos, sunglasses, jewelry etc.



The wider solid oak frame was distressed then white washed with Fusion's liming wax for a soft pretty look. Wide grosgrain ribbon was hot waxed and power stapled in the frame to great a sweet barrette display frame.


This wide solid oak frame was painted in Fusions little tea pot. This is such a pretty aqua color.


To bring out the ridged details and give it a fun aged look, I added Fusion's ageing wax


The aged aqua finish is so lovely


On this solid wood frame, I applied Homestead House Milk Paint in Quaker blue layering on Inglenook and homestead blue and topping off with Fusion's espresso wax.




Magnetic wire mesh was added to this one




Fusion's brushed steel for the win on this pretty frame



And on this artist frame, the outside frame was painted a soft grey and the inner textured frame was painted Fusion picket fence, a bright white


A fun font was used to create a room sign to add to the center, perfect gift for my sweet God Daughter.
