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.

Sprayed and Stenciled Lazy Susan


See how this solid wood hand crafted lazy susan goes from plain to pretty.


There is no stamp or identification to the wood worker who built this lazy susan but it is well made and sealed up in a clear coat. After a good scrub it was ready to gets its update.


 Krylon color master spray paint in the soft green color called Catalina mist was the chosen color. Spray in a well ventilated area (I use my horse barn) and apply many light coats for perfect coverage.

I also used Catalina Mist on this wrought iron basket.


And let it dry well.


To add a bit more pizzazz, I stenciled a design in the center using Fusion Mineral Paint in picket fence and a Waverly stencil. It has a simple mandala feel don't you think? When dry, the stencil and the turn about was lightly sanded for a more country feel.
