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.

Warm White Farmhouse Jewelry Box


Farmhouse style is uber trendy, the classic neutral warm white distressed and aged is my favorite farmhouse color.


               The sweet solid dark wood jewelry box will look fabulous in this color scheme.                                                         

 I chose  Fusion Mineral Paint in Champlain using 2 coats then sponge distressed to reveal the pretty dark wood underneath.                
                                                                                              

Fusion Mineral Paint's ageing wax was then added for the perfect authentic farmhouse look.




love the POP of red lining the drawers
