I'm not much of a painter but I think the old entertainment center has been transformed into a beautiful coffee bar.

This was my project for this weekend. It was easy to do I’m so proud of my project. Love it. Thank you Amy.
This desk is probably 30-35 years old. I used all AH products. Summer Regatta on the outside and Lakai Blue on the inside with the Matte Sealer. The inside color really made the desk pop when it’s open. I did change the hardware on the desk to a silver color. Thanks Amy for the videos and making such wonderful products to work with.
LOVE this paint and the color. The hardest part was taking the hutch apart, but paint was easy and looks incredible. I get lots of compliments on it and it does smell really good! Added new hardware and it is a whole new piece now.
I found this paint by doing a simple Google search. I'm so glad I did! The color is beautiful and I've gotten so many compliments. It also painted perfectly. I wish I had a before picture on this piece. It was a cream color with brown wax. It also had the original drawer pulls and hinges. I swapped out both with a brass color. I'll definitely order more in the near future!
Love the product! Smells great, easy to use, great coverage!!!
I’ve been wanting to paint this cabinet for years my husband on the other hand wanted me to get rid of it but I knew it just needed a little bit of TLC. I came across Amy Howard’s products on Instagram and started watching her videos for a few weeks. I finally ordered the Lakai Blue and it is absolutely gorgeous. It transformed the peace beautifully. I plan on working on a few more pieces with different colors.
This is the fourth piece that I have refinished with Amy Howard One Step Paints. I love working with the paints and the process is easy. With that said although I love the way my bookshelf came out, the Lakai Blue color was not what I expected. Online the color looked more gray- blue but it looks more blue than I expected. Since this piece is in a spare bedroom and the color was quite nice I still am happy overall. Next time I will have to buy a sample.
I love the how the color (Lakai Blue) turned out! I did this credenza for my husband’s office, he was a little worry it would be too blue to his liking, after the 2 coats of paint and mind your own beeswax coating, the color turned out really nice. He loves it! The wax definitely gave a nice sheen an depth to the color.
LOVE this paint and this color! Paint covered well and evenly, and leveled off so there are no brush marks. Absolutely beautiful. I ended up applying a black wax to the top to give it some dimension and am very happy with the finished piece. Highly recommend.
This is the absolute best paint I have used and I have tried several types. The color is beautiful. I painted this dining buffet for my niece and she loves it! I was going to donate this to our local thrift store and asked my niece if she wanted it. She said she would love to have it if I painted it for her. She picked out the color and it turned out great. If I had painted it sooner, I would have kept it for myself. I'm so happy she and her family are enjoying it.
This is an amazing color!
I love the paint. It is easy to apply, nice and thick and helps reduce brush strokes. This paint is really really nice! I gave it 4 stars because it’s much bluer than I expected. I was hoping it would be a dark slate blue, almost grey like it looks online. However, it’s much lighter and bluer when applied. I used 3 coats and the table was originally black. I’m pleased with the results.
Used this paint for a half bath remodel, clearly not finished yet. Paint went on smooth and smells very sweet. Also used cerusing wax on this vanity cabinet.
LOVED using this paint on my laundry cabinets. I’ve painted cabinets in my various homes for almost 20 years, and this by far has been the easiest, and most beautiful, paint to work with. Couldn’t be happier!
