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.

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.

Absolutely stunning! I purchased this wood desk back in 1987 and it’s just been sitting around in a closet for the past seven years, scratched and useless. I decided to try this brand of paint, and wow, am I ever thrilled at the glam up and glow up of this piece. Now pride of place in guest room!
One Step Paint - Cartouche Green
Store owner replied: beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing.
Loved the color. 2 coats is perfect and can be done within 30 minutes of each other!

Baby dresser came out beautiful.
It’s a work in progress. I’m trying to extend the life of these cabinets for a young couple that just bought their first home. This will get them through a year or more until they are prepared to remodel the kitchen! I applied One Step with a foam roller over a coat of clear shellac to cover damage to the cabinets. The color is gorgeous!
I love the cartouche green. I decided to paint my cabinets at my lake cabin because I did not like the house look. I wanted something that blended well with the pine and the gray. Cartouche green is so beautiful and the perfect color. Once I get my flooring in and old stained glass window everything will be perfect. I like the Amy Howard paint so much That I have ordered a lively gray for a bedroom dresser.
I was really impressed with this paint. Took a smelly China hutch and transformed it in 2 days. Wiped everything down once with Clean Slate, and then painted two coats. I found this paint to be easy to work with and it has a beautiful texture and not unpleasant smell. Very happy. Just need to add some lower knobs and I’m done!
Easy to work with, easy to clean and I LOOOOOVE the color 😍
I was very excited to try this new paint and it worked just like it said. Easy clean up, beautiful color, easy to apply over vinyl and wood without any, any prep! I used two coats and dried to a beautiful finish that I didn’t need to add anything!
I had painted my top cabinets 2 years ago with your white paint, but had to wait about doing the bottoms until I got my old stove (inheirited from my late Mother-In-Law) installed, so by the time that happened I had changed my mind about doing the bottoms white. So went with the Green, and I love it!! Painted all my pulls and hinges with copper paint to match my backsplash. I have an old white porcelain sink that's going in next, then I'm going to use your counter top paint to make them look like marble.
Virtually no prep, went on great. Couldn't be happier!
Amazing! I’m in awe of how great this product is!! Super easy, smells great, and washes off easily! You need this paint in your life!!
Painted a bench my son had made out of an old dresser I had.Color and application great.I have never used such a satisfactory paint.
used on Cabinets, although I used a primer, I did 2 coats. I tried to use Polycrylic Water-Based Protective Finish - it did not work well, I actually went back over with paint to cover it up.
Really like the color but the online color picture was not an accurate depiction.
The color does not look like the swatch online, but love the paint texture and how it goes on so smooth!
Old kidney shaped table found with contact paper on the top. Used one step green paint and restored the top to a nice wood finish.
The color was great but is grossly represented online. The color sample in the leaflet are closer. Do wish you would make and sell an actual color board with actual paint.
I paired this color (cartouche green) with manorborne on a table. The finish was smooth and beautiful. I find on larger surfaces the work time taking some getting used too - but once you get use to it you end up with a beautiful finish.
I love the color. I haven't started using it yet. It may take me a while because I am currently getting chemo treatments for a disease and struggling with my health at the moment.
This color is better than I imagined! I’ve gotten so many compliments. One 32 oz can did about 90% of the job (two coats). I just ordered one more 16 oz can to finish touch-ups.
I bought a used TV stand on Marketplace for $40, & chose Cartouche Green for my project. The actual color seemed lighter than the appearance of the chip on the website. Still a beautiful, soft green that I finished with the dark & light antique waxes. We are thrilled with how it turned out!
Love the color
Great Color!
This was the perfect paint! The old cheat of drawers is revived - two coats to cover all of the blemishes. No harsh smell, easy cleanup and the color is perfect! Will absolutely use these paints again!!
I love Amy Howard One-Step Paint! Amy’s step-by-step videos guided me to beautiful results. I refinished two rattan patio chairs, and I’m delighted with the results!
