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 paint..love the color.
The paint is good. The experience in my purchase was not. I bought a kit with a different color and it was not the same as it appeared online. Contacted customer service and told them I bought gray and received green. They said it was the correct color. Went back and forth for days. Eventually was told to try it and see if I liked it and then was told if I wanted to return it it had to be new and unused. So that didn’t make sense. Anyhow I didn’t use it and was told that I could return at my expense, which would’ve cost the same as buying another paint color… so I googled the actual color instead of basing it off the inaccurate color on your website. I will throw away the green color that was sent. So overall, not a good experience but the paint is good. I won’t recommend it though due to the experience.
Very nice color. One step paint is a very good paint to work with if you have to refresh your furniture.
So happy with how our dressers cam out using this paint! The process was so easy and the outcome far exceeded my expectations. Color is a little bluer than I thought but it's gorgeous.
Palace Grey is a beautiful soft blue/grey. My new favorite!
This corner cabinet is 50-60 years old. It was painted white years ago and needed a facelift, so to speak. I used the following Amy Howard one step paints - ballet white and palace gray for this project. Since it was just after Christmas, it was pretty cold outside and in our garage (where I usually do my projects), The one step paints smelled so nice. Not offensive like most other paints. I’m new at furniture makeovers, but I think this is the best this old cabinet has looked in years.
Such a beautiful grey - blue hue! It’s quickly becoming my new favorite!
I repainted my wood jewelry box with paint. It’s seems more blue than gray to me, but I still love it.
I am painting my kitchen cabinets...super easy and they look awesome!
This really is a gorgeous color and the paint goes on so smoothly!
Love this paint ,used a different wax because my beeswax was ruined in the delivery
