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.
Nicely done. I love both versions!
ReplyDeleteWell thank you very much for the kind words.
DeleteI like the new beige colours, though the soft green looked pretty too.
ReplyDeleteThank you, I too thought the green would sell but it seemed otherwise however the new color has not sold so perhaps it is not many use a mail tray these days??
DeleteLove this, thanks for sharing with us! I'm featuring you when the next To Grandma's house we go link party starts <3
ReplyDeleteHow exciting, thank you Tarahlynn. See you there
DeleteI'm surprised it didn't sell--I like the greens. But the makeover is beautiful, too! Thank you for sharing this at the Will Blog for Comments #79 linkup. Wishing you a wonderful week to come & looking forward to seeing more of your posts next week at #80.
ReplyDeleteI was surprised about the green too but this color is not selling either so maybe it is the tray itself, maybe no one uses a mail catching tray???
DeleteI love it both ways! Featuring you at Wednesdays in the Studio!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much Jennifer, see you there!
