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.
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.

I know sealant isn’t “required” but to avoid the paint chipping off I believe it does. Besides that though, it was gorgeous. Easily to apply and smelled heavenly.

The chair was originally a dark plaid. It took 3 coats of paint to cover the dark colors but well worth the 3rd coat. Love the way it looks. My friends and family were surprised at the transformation.

Pamela D. 5/5 Verified
I like the Stoneware color in the One-step paint. It’s a good neutral color,not white but a shade of white that matches my canvases. It provides good coverage,has good flow,can be thinned for using on fabric,smells good,dries quickly.I recommend it. Gay Galleher, A Maker’s Studio gaygalleherart.store

Love it. Was very easy to use and coverage was great. It covered a bright red color.

I love the way the paint goes on and it dries beautifully. The scent is gorgeous!! Unfortunately, the paint colour is no where near what I thought I was getting. I ordered ‘stoneware’ which I thought would be more cream based but the colour is quite white. Purchasing colours from the internet was not the wisest decision.
