About One Step Paint
One Step Paint is our premium, water-based chalk-style furniture 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.
- Clean thoroughly with Clean Slate to remove all dirt, wax, silicone, furniture polish, oils, and grease.
- Using a brush, roller, or sprayer, apply your first thin, even coat of One Step Paint. Use long, clean strokes, painting with the grain, and avoid applying too much paint at once.
- Allow the first coat to dry completely, about 1 hour, before adding another coat.
- Apply additional thin coats until you reach your desired coverage. Remember, several thin coats create a stronger, smoother, more beautiful finish than one heavy coat.
- Once dry, enjoy your soft, chalky matte finish as-is, or protect high-use pieces with Matte Sealer, Light Wax, or Dark Wax.
Remove and mark any hardware from your piece. Clean thoroughly with Clean Slate to remove all dirt, wax, silicone, furniture polish, oils, and grease. Repair any cracks or holes with wood filler. A clean surface allows One Step Paint to bond properly and creates a longer-lasting finish.
Allow approximately 1 hour of dry time between coats. Once your final coat is dry, your piece is ready to enjoy as-is with its soft, chalky matte finish, or protect it further with Matte Sealer, Light Wax, or Dark Wax.
One Step Paint works beautifully on wood, cabinetry, laminate, melamine, Formica, glass, resin, concrete, metal, stone, and previously painted furniture. It's also the only Amy Howard At Home paint suitable for fabric and upholstery.

Sealing is not required for decorative pieces, but for furniture that will receive daily use—such as tables, chairs, cabinets, or upholstery—we recommend sealing with wax or another appropriate topcoat to protect the finish and extend durability.
One Step Paint contains essential oils, giving it a pleasant, low-odor scent compared to traditional paints. This makes it more enjoyable to use indoors and in smaller spaces.

One Step Paint is incredibly versatile and is often used as a base layer for milk paint finishes, waxed surfaces, stenciling, glazing, cracked patina looks, gilding, and layered Old-World furniture techniques. It’s ideal for creating everything from subtle patina to dramatic heirloom-style pieces.

I love this paint. There is very little prep. It covers any thing. I have even painted my metal diswasher with it. For this project I wanted the hallway doors to match my new kitchen cabinets that are a shade of taupe. This Spa White was the closest I could come. To break up the white I dipped pine branches in black, and then used the deluted paint with water and glaze to add the white wash effect. I used the Not Your Beeswax for a final seal. Looks great!

Picked Spa White and it looks pink or purple depending on the light and time of day. Regardless, I still like this product. Wish it was still carried at Ace.

An interior decorating client didn't want this dresser. We carried it to the trash, but I decided to bring it home and see what I could do with the amazing Amy Howard paint. It was a good call because I love it!

The paint is so easy to work with, I am truly pleased the way it all came out. The paint is very reasonable priced, and color choice is plentiful.

The before was a cool minty paint but did not serve my decor at all. I painted the end table in spa white then chose both clear and dark wax from Krylon to age it. I also used oil rubbed bronze spray paint to update the hardware. I’m in love with it. The paint is fabulous and dries quick. The white has a hint of gray to it.

Painted an older mobile home kitchen cupboards with spa white. Turned out great.

I. LOVE. Spa White! It's my go-to for any project, because it make everything look so clean, crisp and *expensive* (even when I paid 3 dollars for the piece lol!) The coverage is great, and goes great with gold or bronze accents :-)

This paint surpassed my expectations. I tried the more expensive brand of chalk paint, and I love Amy Howard. It gives a beautiful, rich color and once I applied a couple coats of urethane, it was like new furniture. The yummy smell is a bonus.

Spa white with metropolitan grey!

Well, I had the idea to try this Spa White on the top cabinets because I wanted to try something different in my kitchen. I love it as well. In my room, it looks like it has a very light gray tint to it and it looks great with the Selznick Gray on the bottom cabinets. I haven't finished the cabinets yet but liked the color after looking at the door I painted. I am really excited to see the finished look. I am hooked on the Amy Howard One Step paint and will definitely use it in several projects that are on my to do list. I really appreciate the fast delivery too. It helped a great deal since I was in the middle of my project and didn't want to run out of paint. Thank you again.

It did arrive a day later than expected, but that could be due to the Covid-19 problem.
Candis S. 5/5 Verified
I absolutely love Spa White. It has amazing coverage! It is a beige warm white that my clients often go right to when we sort through our white sample options. This is definitely one color that never goes out of style!

Before and after of a pieces we’ve had for over 10 years. The Soft pink tinted Spa White lofted the rooms energy to create a space supportive of self-love. I sleep so much better since redecorating.
