This is the before, and after. My furniture was black and very heavy feeling and dated. Used this amazing furniture paint which amazingly one container-the larger size I think it’s a quart , covered two nightstands and large dresser. Because it was black and I was painting it a light gray I did use two coats of paint. Very easy to use, but it does dry fast so you have to paint quickly to avoid brush marks. But it covered great. I did not sand before however I did wipe the furniture down with ammonia prior to painting.
Store owner replied: Thank you so much for the review. We are so glad you loved it!
The paint worked great! I have a dresser and two nightstands that are solid, heavy wood and were stained black. I always wanted to refinish them, but I thought I would have to completely sand every nook and cranny, which felt like a bigger job than I was ready to tackle. My mom recommended this paint after using it on a piece of furniture so I thought I would give it a try. I bought the larger size thinking that would be enough to do both of the nightstands and if they turned out good, I would order another quart for the dresser. The nightstands turned out great. You do have to go fast because the paint dries really quickly and will get a little rough if you don’t move fast enough. But don’t worry if that happens just use the light sander between coats. I had a little less than half a container left and decided I would start on the dresser thinking I could maybe get one coat done. The paint is so good that I was actually able to finish the dresser with two full coats of paint.. it is definitely a more Matte/flat finish then I was expecting so I ended up buying some men wax clearcoat and did one round of that.
Store owner replied: thank you for sharing! Your piece turned out beautifully!
I only did test looks great!
Love the paint
I was a little nervous to try this paint as a 1-step process. It was great! I forgot to buy the furniture cleaner, so I wiped it down before painting. It truly was a 1 cost process with zero issues. I bought new hardware and completely transformed an old dresser for under $60. I did but the paint swatch booklet for future projects, too.
It was a very daring move on my part. I had just said.. upon waking one morning “Go for it.. “. I’m about to order more Ballet White.. to fuss with it a bit more.. but first I need to decide on my countertop color:) For now .. for this small studio space I’m sprucing up… I’m pleased. Thanks Amy!
My cabinet needed a refresh, so I used Amy Howard Luxe Grey One Step paint and I love how it turned out! This is a beautiful light grey color which looks lovely next to my white walls. It was very easy to paint using one step. I decided to keep it simple and used the clear wax to finish it off.
Product is excellent change everything is just Kiki moving to a new place.
This is after ONE coat. It was stained and had a stripe down the middle. I imagine that the next coat will make it perfect!
Luxe Grey is beautiful. Covers nicely! I did 2 coats, and 2 coats of polycrylic Matte finish that I had already purchased for another project. Even used my old hardware! Transformed my old oak cabinetry to a modern update. Affordably too I might add!
My most favorite Gray in the world....
Love the one step paint!! I was skeptical about not have to sand or strip but it covered in one coat and I didn’t have to do either!! Highly recommend
I am officially obsessed with the One Step Paint from Amy Howard! My daughter needed a bed for her college apartment. This one has great lines, but it was dark brown and that wasn’t the look she wanted. So, thank you Amy Howard! It turned out fantastic, we couldn’t be happier!
Much lighter than I was expecting but still a great color!
I really love the cracked patina finish I achieved using Luxe Grey one step paint as one of the layers. I was practising my finishes from one of the Old World Finishes in Amy's tutorial. I used an old vase I brought from a 2nd hand shop.
It was amazing. Now waiting for the gold wax to finish the whole thing.
Love this color
Paint was the color I was wanting from sample!
Absolutely love how the piece came out!! I’m looking forward to painting other pieces
I loved it!!
I used OS Luxe Grey on my countertops and I love it!
We used for cabinet painting!
Well this was my first experience with one step paint. It is so very different from my home made chalk paint! So creamy and after getting used to it , I will have a hard time going back to my old product. Wow, the scent is Devine. Even after waxing the pieces the scent stays. I have used lavender scented clear wax before expecting the scent to linger but it did not. I am amazed at the high end details in each product. Amy has thought of everything as far as aesthetics, the feel of things, just everything. Bravo Amy Howard. And I’m so thrilled with your free tutorials, I am learning so much! Thank you and God bless you for sharing your knowledge with us.
Great products...will use again
LOVE LOVE LOVE the coverage and ease of this paint! This was bone color formica cabinets and countertop. Luxe Grey on cabinets, Ballet White and Matte Sealer on countertops. Looks so professional! Paint smells delicious too!
Really like how the color looks! I went with 2 coats. I originally got this color for my bathroom cabinets and can’t wait to paint them!
Was able to transform these fabric chair covers!!! Look fabulous after using Mind Your Own Beezwax!!!
I painted a dining room table and chairs. The paint was easy to use, covered well, and smelled good!
Such a beautiful color
Luxe Grey is a beautiful, very light true grey. It almost looks white until you have it up against something actually white, and then the grey really pops. It took 2 coats to paint over my dark cherry wood furniture and I love how it turned out.
Ready and easy to use. I did feel like it was expensive for what I probably could have bought elsewhere.
The color was perfect, I had a bumpy start using it on laminate, but once I got the clean slate, the paint went on much smoother.
I have been using your paint for 4 years and have furnished my entire kitchen in old furniture with Amy Howard chalk paint. Always got my Luxe Grey paint from Ace hardware but not all stores mix your paint any longer. I did find one Ace Hardware that attempted to mix it for me and the color came out orange😂 It certainly was not the Luxe Grey that I needed. They were very upset but couldn't help. I am so happy that I was able to order paint online. Mary Ellen
Very easy to use and I love the way it came out! Transformed it from a natural wooden nightstand to a grey end table in the living room.
Love how easy it is to paint my cabinets. I am not done waiting for more paint. Love the smell also.
Using This on our top kitchen cabinets...this is such a beautiful color.. very easy application
First time doing a project like this it was so easy kitchen cabinets next
This is a lovely grey. The pic is watered down to do a whitewash affect on travertine tile
The Luxe Grey and Nottaway Blue were used on this cabinet, which was previously pine green with a natural wood top and base. The paint coverage was excellent. I did two coats to ensure the darker original colors did not bleed through, but could have gotten away with one coat. Now I plan to apply clear wax and dark wax for an aged look. Can't wait to see how it turns out!
