So I did some very bold things to mute the color contrast. I mixed brown and black paint and began applying it to the surface: I painted lines with small brushes and I swept a larger brush over the decor accents and the framing. My goal was to force the brown paint into every crevice, mute the ivory and make it look aged 100 years.

The brown paint was latex and dried very quickly. As I applied it, I wiped it off. I had to work one small area at a time so it didn't completely dry.
