About One Step Paint
One Step Paint is our premium, water-based chalk-style furniture paint that transforms furniture, fabric, and everything in between. No stripping, no sanding, no priming. It dries to a soft, chalky matte finish that's perfect for vintage, distressed, layered, and Old World looks. While decorative pieces don't require sealing, we recommend adding a wax or sealer on high-use items like dining tables, chairs, and cabinets to protect against everyday wear.

Beautiful color! Love these paints!
It covered beautiful
My mismatched table and chairs were originally black and brown and I was putting off repainting them because of the hassle of stripping, sanding, and painting. I bought this paint on a whim because it wasn’t so expensive that I’d be upset if I didn’t get very good results. I cleaned and applied two coats, and voila! I love the way it looks! So easy to use with excellent coverage and finish. Also, I painted in my living room, and the subtle scent was actually really pleasant - nothing like the typical wet paint smell. I will definitely be purchasing more for other projects!
It was a great product and no fumes which was surprising but welcomed.
I love this beautiful soft blue. The coverage is amazing.
It's the best paint I've used!
This photo shows auditioning colors to coordinate with the large patch of Midnoght Dreams One Step Paint. Ambala Blue is on the bottom right. Isnt it a pretty blue? And it looks extremely nice next to the Midnight Dreams. This is a great way to choose your coordinating paint colors before you get started on a project. Even better if Amy Howard at Home has what you want in 4 oz. samples!
I painted the cabinets and counter tops. This picture is before the back splash got tiled. They were a brown formica , brown cabinets, and black appliances. Thank you so much. The kitchen is bright now.
The color was a perfect match to the color in my vintage wallpaper. As a professional artist color matching and choice is extremely important to me.
