Dining Room Light Fixture Update with Spray Paint

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.

One last condo spray painted update: this dining room light fixture.

Check out all the other condo updates; her brassy bedroom light fixtures, smooth brassy door knobs, door stops, vanity fixture and towel bar all done with Rustoleum oil rubbed bronze spray paint and floor registers and wall plates using white spray paint.

My daughter found this solid brass beauty at the Restore store. It was what she wanted to replace the existing light fixture at her new condo. She did however want it matte black.

To make her wish come true, we taped off all the glass using painters tape then sprayed on many thin light coats using Rustoleum 2X ultra cover spray paint in matte black. Hanging it to spray paint allows you to get inside outside and all sides.
