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.

Italian silver on my antique chair and the one I just got is to touch up the beauty after being upholstered. Great color.
This was just one of my pieces of bedroom furniture that I repainted with the Amy Howard one step paint. It went on very smooth, very low odor, and I got it done in a couple of hours. I also put a coat of Mind Your Own Beeswax on the top of the dresser, and on the front of the drawers for a smooth battery finish.
The best paint !!!
I’ve been wanting to do over my bedroom furniture for the longest time and have seen some of the work online of Amy Howard followers. I finally took the plunge, and I am so happy with the results. I used Italian silver, lightwax, followed by dark wax and then used the matte sealer for the top. I sprayed painted all the hardware and this is my results. I also did my high boy chest.
Love it!
This paint was easy to work with and had great coverage. 100 times better than a paint I got at a local box store. The color was perfect and mixed well with other shades of white in the room.
I used with Brown Derby to create this finish for my Grandmother’s dresser!
Love love how it turned out
I thought my antique dresser turned out great. I used clean slate first and then painted it using Italian Silver one step paint. It was a fun project.
Italian Silver the most perfect color warm...inviting...this dining set is going to be amazing once completed..
Awesome coverage and smell!
OS Italian Silver is an amazing color. Depending on lighting you can get a shade that compliments any color. This has become one of my favorite OS go to colors! Would highly recommend 👍🏼👍🏼
painted what was a lovely oak hutch using Italian Silver on outside, with light and dark wax, and Selznic Grey on inside of lighted top of hutch....i think it is a beautiful, updated, transformation. Love this color combination, and love this paint!
Lookie Lookie at my counter makeover!! I couldn’t be more excited! Italian Silver is the base color and accompanied by so many of AH’s beautiful colors (AGMHF, Barnboard, Ballet White, Atelier, and Linen). I had fun with this one! Bottom cabinets=AGMHF and Top cabinets=Barnboard. Will seal the counters and start on backsplash!
Perfcet beige gray!!!
Great product. Smells really nice and it dries super fast. I definitely recommend this product
Beautiful light color Love it!
I love Mind your own need wax...it's such a beautiful authentic finish
Project not done yet but color is on point with the name. I do think the card swatch online is off. I also got Luxe Grey and it is definitely darker than Italian silver but shows Luxe Grey as lighter on the online cards.
It was lighter than I expected but ended turning up to be perfect
