The actual paint is wonderful. It is the color. More a light gray than the greige I expected from the sample. I still used it on a tray & it turned out great.
Store owner replied: thank you for your feedback!
Yes this grey is lovely but a bit cooler than I expected but thank goodness I can go a few steps further to enhance this color by using mica power and bees wax to give my old table "which is what I applied the one step to" a warmer and more antiqued lookalike around one of the many ways to dress up a one step application 😀
Store owner replied: so happy it turned out great. we would love to see your project!
I painted my vanity with Aetlier Miracle Paint. I didn’t strip or sand just put three coats on right over a varnish. Brushed on 2 coats the last coat I used a sponge roller. Highly recommended
I will swear by One Step paint!! Atelier is a gorgeous color, just like all of the other’s I’ve been trying out. Just gorgeous!
Haven’t finished the project yet but love the results so far!
Wonderful experience painting a 70 year old tea cart that was my mom’s
Love all Amy Howard products!
I needed to match this window casing to my new flooring and my new kitchen cabinets will be gray. This combination of Ballet White & Atelier Gray with the glaze mixed in for top coat & buffed with Mind your own bees wax came out perfectly. I used a feather to get the mock wood grain.
Omg is magic
It made painting my cupboards so easy!! Thanks for a great product!!
This paint was so amazing!! It covered so good and then I used the Mind Your Own Beeswax and it finished them off just like I was hoping!! Thank you!!
I used Atelier Gray for the frame of this prayer board. The base is A Good Man Is Hard to Find. Nice combinarion. I used Mind Your Own Beeswax on the frame and seal the base with Matte Sealer.
So easy to use and such great results!
This is my first project with the new formula. The finish is velvety and smooth with fewer brush marks. Love it!
Paint is awesome. Quick dry time means putting everything back together sooner and no curing time. I also love that the wood grain comes through and makes the doors look high end. The original finish was maple wood. I did put 3 coats on door fronts because It soaked into wood but no big deal as it dries so quickly.
I actually used the product to create this AWEsome piece!
I mixed atelier gray with brooks gray on an old designed lampshade. I ended up with a faux suede look from the rollers. It looks really cool. And, the lamp is placed on a desk I painted using a mix of atelier gray, black, and a clear wax. It’s amazing stuff!
Had white cabinets for 23 years and loved them but needed a change and went with the gray and love it. Still not done but the breakfast nook is posted!
Love this warm grey color! Excellent coverage and very versatile!
