Another Rae Dunn Inspired Farmhouse Bread 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 painted up another Rae Dunn inspired bread box just like this one and this one. They are just so darn popular due to their simplicity and ability to go in any kitchen.

I also just used this gorgeous warm white color on these Hollywood glam end tables.

For this one I went with Fusion Mineral Paint's Champlain. After a good cleaning, 3 coats were applied with a nice angled Fusion Mineral Paint brush for great coverage.
