This is an excellent product. I was skeptical about buying furniture paint on the internet and was pleasantly surprised that it worked as advertised. I love the results and the color. I will definitely order from this company for my future needs.
Easy application and Beeswax even easier! I wish it had been a little darker brown, but it’s working just fine! This product arrived so quickly!
I tried the crackle technique and it worked wonderful
This paint was described as the deepest brown One Step Paint. After applying two coats to my headboard and footboard, it was not the deep brown I expected. It was more of an olive brown. This could be because the piece I painted started off as antique white. I am new to painting furniture, so perhaps I made mistakes. Still, I ended up purchasing another company's chalk paint in a darker brown to finish the project.
Totally love your paint. Second older piece I painted & each one looks amazing. Would have never believed the coverage on scratches & wear. Truly need to find more to paint.
I finally got to use this gorgeous olive color on a piece of furniture. This is my first of many! I love how it perfectly brings out the stained and golden-brushed details.
It is more towards the dark olive green tones than brown. I wasn’t able to use it on the project I had it in mind for, but will definitely use it soon. It is a very pretty color.
PS. EC. Add to Derby Brown sideboard photo, Sorry for photo as we have monsoons in progress and lighting in photo poor but Jodi’s photo and my sideboard definatelty more army green( more olive ) which we loved with wicker knobs and palm trees and bananas in our tropical backyard and orchids . Hopeful the paint secret sauce recipie hasn’t changed. This was a piece of dumpster junk ( if you can believe it) our favorite restaurant threw out during covid redo, painted turquoise withe dovetail drawers and it is lovely now . Many great parties and drawers now hold stenciled napkins with gel ink !!!! All thanks to. Amy Howard ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️👍👍👍👍👍👍🌴🌴🌴👌😉
Jodi’s photo is exact color I painted my sideboard a year ago and had as she stated a more olive than yours shown now now . Was called “ derby brown last year, not brown derby as today. I need to repaint the top. Have you changed color formula as you definately changed the name ? As it WAS DERBY brown then, not Brown Derby. Please help b4 I order different color. I loved it just the way it was ( a slight bit more olive). Thanks, Eloise Copplerm
Used with Italian silver to create this finish with my Grandmother’s dresser!
This was a great paint. It totally transformed my bathroom.
Looks more olive. Beautiful color!
I loved this paint color!!! It went on smooth and covered well!
