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.

Metal Flower Garden Stake in Aubergine


Did you see my post on spray painting a metal garden stake a fun turquoise? Here is round #2


I purchased another flower shape for my garden


Seeing I had this gorgeous aubergine color  chalked paint from Rustoleum  that I was using on this Mid Century Styled Nightstand, I decided to try it on the metal flower.


Using their round brush it went on very easily and adhered well to the metal


I left it to dry in the shade


To add some fun, I painted the center using Country Chic paint in creme brule with a brush as well


                   To seal the paint I chose Rustoleum ultra cover matte spray clear coat


                                           It deepened the gorgeous purple color perfectly
