I liked the quality of the paint but was disappointed with the color. I thought the color I selected was a darker shade of green. Luckily it still matches my wallpaper. It is a pretty green. I might need another can to complete my project, will order it if I do. I still have 1 nightstand to paint. I can covered 2 coats for 1 nightstand and 4 dresser drawers (first coat), so that was pretty good. Ty, Rose
I painted the outside of a Sligh antique dresser and replaced the original small knobs with white ceramic knobs having a trout image. The project was made easy by using paint from Amy Howard. I love the color!

Love this paint! So easy to apply and absolutely no unpleasant smell. The color is beautiful! Although I've only had time to do one section of my cabinets, I can't wait to finish them all. So happy with how the color came out and I will definitely be purchasing more paint from them. I haven't used the sealer yet so I can't review that yet but I'm sure it's an excellent product also!

I always love Amy Howard paint. Tried a different brand recently and it didn’t even compare.

Love the matte finish! Beautiful color
I am so pleased with the color and coverage. This was a roadside discard and it turned out better than I expected.
Excellent coverage and love the color!!
Covers well and it’s a beautiful green. Smells good too! Will buy again
Spectacular product! I loved this color, the texture of the paint and I only needed 2 coats and that was it!! Thank you Amy!!.
My wife bought Blenko hourglass made in the 1970’s. Some had painted over the original green with latex paint. When originally made they were painted with chalk paint and highlighted with wax. I used your one step paint, light and dark waxes to bring the piece back to its original beauty. The final touch was adding the guiding wax to make the spindles pop. All were awesome products. Glad I watched your videos too. It made the project so much easier.
Bought the paint for my mother’s old dresser and bed. It brought new life to my furniture.so easy to use I would highly recommend the paint for a project. Thank you so much
I love using this paint , no smell either...went on beautiful....it didn't take long for the project. Thanks , I will use this paint again...
Kitchen cabinet makeover love this paint!
I painted my guest bathroom vanity and love this paint. I painted 2 coats of English Boxwood. I sealed it with Amy Howard Matte sealer. I wall papered with a wall paper that was white background with vines and flowers. The pattern is Jacobean. We also but up beadboard and trim boards, all painted white. Very happy with the outcome. Your paint is great. Thank you.
I first chose English Boxwood green to paint a kitchen hutch. I was in love with the color! Since this was my first experience with amy Howard at Home paint I got the sample size first. I was very impressed with results on my practice board and started painting the doors. I am impressed with how little paint it took because it goes on so smoothly. Alas, I realized it was the wrong color for the piece, so I switched to Linen and have had rave reviews from family and friends.
A little brighter than I thought. But I love every shade of green so it worked well. As always the product goes on smooth and easy!
I decided to paint my living room end tables this gorgeous green color and I can't tell you how happy I am with the result!!! I feel like I got new furniture!
I have been wanting to try this color since it has been very popular this year. I am very happy with it! I have had a lot of complaints too!
The paint is a great color and goes on easily. Two coats at least needed. I have followed instructions closely and used the cleaner and also beeswax after painting. Always left 24 hours between cleaning, paint coats and waxing. Looks good. I am concerned about long term resilience of finish as just catching the paint surface can chip paint off very easily.
Easy to use. Good coverage. Dries quickly. Low smell. Great color.
Love this paint! And love all of the colors! My new go to paint!
Love the color and the one step paint is fabulous. No prepping needed!
The paint is awesome and the color was beyond my expectation. The result was beautiful.
This product is AMAZING! True to color, and such an easy application! Literally no smell. So excited to bring my dad’s old desk new life!
This paint is easy to use and has great coverage.
Love its
Love this paint! I found this product line specifically because I was searching online for a beautiful green and I found this. I get so many compliments on my projects when I use this paint.
English Boxwood is the nicest green, and covered so well that I only needed one coat. This old occasional table was literally a roadside find, covered with layers of old paint, and it looks like something new and precious. I did a base/single coat of boxwood and then mixed a small amount of it with an even smaller amount of white paint, and then drybrushed that for an antique look. Then used copper gilding wax for a final touch. This paint dried fast, when on thick and smooth, and as an added bonus it smells great!
This color is so beautiful and currently 🔥 HOT!
So easy to use! Love the color & finish! And the smell is divine!
Love this color!! It was just what I was hoping for and perfect for my sons’ dresser. The paint went on pretty easily. I did have to do two coats but still have quite a bit of paint left over. And this paint smells good! Even after drying it still has a faint, pleasant smell.
