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.

Faux Milk Glass Vase

 

I have another simple and easy change up for a basic glass vase to give it a faux milk glass update.

This large heavy glass vase has great shape and size but lacks pizzazz. After a good scrub and run thru the dishwasher it was ready to get a new look.


To be sure the paint adheres well to the super smooth glass Dixie Belle Slick Stick was brushed on in 2 coats allowing to dry well between coats.

Dixie Belle silk paint in the crisp clean white paint color called saltwater went on next. Again 2 coats applied with a small flat Dixie Belle synthetic brush.


I think the glass designs are now revealed by the white paint and give a milk glass feel, how about you?
