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.

Crisp White Fusion Cabinet Makeover


What do you do when you have 2 cute country cabinets but they no longer work in your newly built home? You bring them to me to have them custom painted in a fresh new white!


here is the before, the customer wants to use them as matching nightstands in a spare room and wants a crisp farmhouse white look


Because they are both painted a dark color and pine which can bleed thru, I painted them on all sides sans the center back planks with a good primer.

Once dry it was time to apply Fusion Mineral Paint in picket fence, the whitest of their whites.

Even with the primer base it still took 3 coats of the picket fence for a clean white finish. A light sponge sanding and they were complete, ready for years of service.
