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.

Yet Another Malachite Green Pepper Grinder


If you are a subscriber you know I just did two other pepper grinders in this exact color. Here is a 3rd seeing the first 2 sold within an hour of posting. This one did not last long either selling on my Etsy shop.


I have this exact pepper grinder in my own home which I painted blue and found another one to relove, yeah! A good thorough cleaning was the first step.


Then the fun part of painting. Two coats of Jolie Paint in the gorgeous color malachite were brushed on. 
See the other amazing malachite projects all painted with that little tester pot.


Once dry it was lightly sanded to reveal some of the original dark stain and give a worn farmhouse feel. 


The paint was sealed with Jolie's clear wax using their fabulous wax brush. 


Further dimension was added with Jolie's brown wax brushed in the nooks and crannies.
