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.

Great coverage, yet soft paint and was hoping that it was a glossier finish.
Paint covers well color was lighter than expected but overall a good product
It’s hard to tell in this photo, but Lake Como Nights is a lovely soft powder blue - it’s much lighter than it appears on the website, but it was just the color I was hoping for!
I mixed this color with Mia Dragon for the base color of this table top (finished with a little white dry brushed) and also as one the the stripe colors on the chairs. Really liked both colors separately and love them together as well. The paint went on very smooth, I have learned to not overwork it so my finish is improving with each project. 🙂. Amy Howard one step is stocked in my dresser I use for paint and supplies storage!
Perfect blue for my bedroom nightstands. Love them!
Very nice smooth paint. Unfortunately the color is totally off. Obviously hard to determine color online but this is completely different from the online color swatch.
Nice paint, great color. Smells good.
Painted a very old oak kitchen cabinet and turned out amazing . Great color,
This is my first time using Amy Howard's Chalk paint and I love it!! I have used various brands of chalk paint over the past 8-10 years and Amy Howard's chalk paint is very easy to use and goes on very smoothly. I am repainting a large writing desk that was painted 7+ years ago and it was desperately needing a new paint job. I ordererd Lake Como (blue) One Step Chalk Paint online & I received it within the time frame stated online (even with the slow down due to the Coronavirus pandemic). I have applied my 1st thin coat and am very pleased. It didn't show brush lines and it did cover in one thin coat. I am going to apply a 2nd coat before applying the wax (just a personal preference). Thank you Amy Howard for a superior product!! I will definitely be ordering more in the future! Leslie E. Chapin, SC
