About One Step Paint
One Step Paint is our premium, water-based chalk-style 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.

I used One Step Paint, and it was incredibly easy to work with! The application was smooth, the coverage was great, and I’m very happy with the results. I’m already looking forward to using it again on future projects!
Store owner replied: Looks beautiful, thanks so much for sharing!
The perfect base color for so many projects! I love it
It is a nice color- not white and not beige- it went on my piece and took two coats as the tutorial videos indicated it might. I would definitely recommend the light antique wax to give it that extra umph!
I have only applied the first coat - thought that it might cover better on first coat - but then again they are dark cabinets!!! Needs second coat!!!!
This paint helped me achieve just the “faux wood” paint look I was going for! I’ve already ordered two!
I sanded this piece down to the raw wood and white wash with Dearborne , one step paint! I used Amy’s 2.5 chip brush.
Your product helped me give new life to an old chair!
I have not used it yet but I am anticipating that it will be just fine.
Painted my laundry room cabinets with Dearborne. Turned out beautifully.
I haven't used any of my order yet but will post when projects are completed. Thank you.
Such a beautiful color and it smells yummy 😍
Used this color above my fireplace and will be using it again on parts of fireplace. Beautiful color, warming in an area with several colors of whites.
It took a very long time to come in, but most things that are shipping are taking a while to come in right now. But once it got here it was perfect. It was packed very well, the color was exactly what I was looking for, and the application was very smooth. I also noticed it seemed to have a scent, just something light and fresh. I’m not sure what that was but it was pleasant.
Such a classic color, turned this everyday pitcher into a work of art...smells sooo yummy too
