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.

Spray Painted Bedroom Light Fixtures


Another home fixture update with spray paint!!


My daughter was not a fan of the brassy gold bedroom light fixtures.


But by using Rustoleum oil rubbed bronze spray paint they were updated to match her recently painted door knobs, door stops (shown below), vanity fixture, towel bar and all with the same can. How amazingly affordable is that? Not to mention environmentally amazing!

Check out an updated brass dining light in classic black too.


Following the same directions as the door knob update, these light fixtures now have a new light on life ;)


Look at the difference now, so much better right?
