I received my paint but due to the cold weather I haven’t been able to paint. Love the color, just wish it was a little bit darker.

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.

My favorite color, I love this paint. Easy to work with.
Store owner replied: Beautiful!!
Love the color
No smell to it.
The color is beautiful and as any AH One Step, it smells so pretty. I love the matte finish that the paint has.
Beautiful background on my cachepot. Painted the metal, no problem!
Good quality paint, but disappointed in the shade. It is described as darkest forest gree. It's not, it's more of a darker sage.
The cabinet looks fabulous with this paint color! The paint is easy to work with and I would definitely buy more paint in different colors.
I found this 80 year-old hope chest at an estate sale, my DIL has been looking for one for a while. It had major water damage on the bottom, it all had to be pulled off and remade. Once that was done, I aged it with nails, chain and hammer effects. My DIL chose the Chambourg color and my goodness, it is a stunning color!! We finished it woth the glazed over and she is over the moon about her new hope chest!! Thanks again for such amazing products, this is my 3rd refinish project using your products!!!
Was such a doable project for me and a big change to and otherwise boring, plain, wood buffet. Love it and had so many compliments.
This deep green has become a go to color for me. It works amazing and really is a stand out!
This was my very first experience painting furniture, and using an Amy Howard product. It could not have gone any better on this piece that was gifted to me. The ease of the One Step paint and the pleasant smell made it so fun, and addicting, that I've now done (and am doing) more pieces! The color Cherborg is classic and timeless and getting all kinds of compliments. Thank you Amy Howard!
This is Cherberg before adding wax and or Amy’s glaze. Nice solid green but not bright.
I can’t say enough good about this paint! Amazing quality, easy to apply and the finish…perfect! Perfect pop of color to update our kids bathroom!
Used this green to update the fabric of antique chairs. The outcome is amazing. I love that it feels almost like a very soft leather. Seems more durable and more waterproof.
I haven’t used this on my chairs yet (which is what I bought this green for), but I have done some matting for frames to see the color and I love it!
This green reminds me of the classroom chalkboard from my childhood. I used it on this Prayer Board (stencil from A Maker's Studio) because it's meant to be written on with chalk. Not only is the color perfect, it went on so smoothly and covered well in 2 coats. I used Amy Howard's 4" foam roller and roller handle.
This is the perfect color for my Christmas trees!
My first time using Amy Howard. The paint was so easy to work with. My daughter and I painted this dresser for her nursery. Ordering new hardware. The finish was beautiful!
Love this green! I painted over of our first wood furniture piece we bought together when newlyweds. It's almost been 13 years, after two kids, and now in quarantine I needed a change. I wanted to bring nature inside our home, with leafy like colors and light brown wood accents. If you're thinking of getting this, just do it. This color is the perfect green, it's natural and makes any piece happily beautiful.
