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.

Canning Ring Pumpkins


Super sweet rustic pumpkins created from old canning rings




For years I have saw this cute simple craft on Pinterest and wanted to make some but never had spare canning rings. A friends was selling their home and moving south and had a huge box, perfect.

They can be as rusty or shiny as you like them


I used the pipe cleaner method of securing them together, arrange in a circle in your color order, put pipe cleaner around the center, twist tight and done!


I spray painted some of the rings Rustoleum Spray paint in lagoon in multiple coats and added them between gold ones.


Hot glued cinnamon sticks cut to about an inch long formed the stem and jute for the tendrils finished off the rustic pumpkins. 







 Simple easy and fun fall project, give it a try ;)
