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.

Teal Ceramic Plant Pot Update


Isn't this majesty palm lovely? And it's newly painted pot is sure pretty too.

Did you see the 2 plastic and small ceramic plant pots I updated with spray paint?


Originally this large IKEA ceramic pot was glazed a deep navy blue. It worked perfect in my old home decor but in my new home I wanted it to have a bit more of an ocean blue look.


I choose House & Canvas's antique teal. I loved it on this sweet vintage table , wooden step stool and vintage jewelry box.


One coat was brushed on with a bit of the navy left showing. Some areas had a second coat applied for a layered look.


Daddy Van's clear wax orange scented was brushed over the entire surface with their white wax added in areas for an ocean water colored look. PERFECT!


And it was now complete, ready for a new plant.


My new majesty palm was the lucky recipient to be placed in this pot. I did first pot it in a white plastic pot so it can easily be put in the shower for a tropical rain ;)


If you have pots on hand but the wrong color, dont be afraid to add some paint... and wax to amp them up!
