Millennial Pink Jewelry Box

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.

I love a good jewelry box makeover, the traditional colors are just so blah. This reddish colored wood one with pretty soft grey interior seemed to speak pink so pink it is.

Fusion Mineral Paint in English rose AKA millennial pink was applied in 2 coats then lightly distressed to reveal a bit of the reddish wood and give an aged farmhouse look.
