Artists & Artisans in Ennis, TX

“I have done a number of projects with Achey Rendering. They are professional, cost effective and competent. I highly recommend.”

“Jer has installed color treatments and murals for me several times. The most recent was after a complete remodel which convered our living room and kitchen into a great room. In creating a lovely colorwash that tied many of the colors we had in the mix already - the red of the sofa, the soft colors of the outside bricks and the deep ox-blood of the kitchen cabinets, this treatment brought these two rooms together more seamlessly than the architectural changes! The walls seem to dance with color changes as the outside and inside lights change. ALSO Prior to that, Jer did our master suite in a dreamy light scumble, a highlighted niche, and an energetic treatment in the master bath that highlighted and played off the movements and colors in the limestone. BEFORE THAT Jer has also done murals in two homes for us. Several done in the 1980's are still treasured by the 'new' home owner. (We get word from the neighbors!) Those included fabulous canyon scene in the front hallway and a standing loom with partially woven rug which disguised our laundry room doors (which were conveniently rather obvious at the end of the kitchen and half way into the living room). Everyone who visited us was in awe of that work. We enjoyed that for 10 years and still smile when we drive by and see the front door (which Jer painted to look like solid wood) and the mailbox (which is on the house and has a blue-sky and canyon scene like the front hall.) NEXT We are wrapping up another phase of remodeling and eager to have Jer and Patricia back to highlight the new gallery, dining room and hallway.”

“I have worked with Marc for almost ten years. He has provided my clients with amazing original wall finishes and murals. He has a very clam personality and works well with my clients. He arrives on time for every appointment; and, prepared with samples. He provides the client with an extremely detailed proposal for the client's review. I consider Marc a very important member of my team!”

“Great Service, fast and efficient. Prices are very reasonable, will definitely use again! Once appointment was scheduled, an experienced framer guy come and show you 100's of frames to choose from, frame the art work & hand it! Can't get better than that! Thank you very much!”

“Shaun has wonderful design sense and an eye for detail, and his work reflects this aesthetic sensibility. He did a wonderful job helping me choose colors, and make the spaces flow into one another. The Venetian plaster is beautiful , and I believe of high quality( although this is the first I have seen up close for more than a glance, so my experience is limited). As always, there are changes that occur and he handled these gracefully. We had major scheduling issues with the other contractors, so hard to comment on the ability to meet deadlines. When I was ready, he already had other work going, so there were waiting times. But as the projected start date kept changing, I can't fault him for not being immediately available. He was responsive for small touch ups after he had finished. My project was not fancy and he did a great job. I think where he really shines is on the more elaborate faux finishes!”

“Leila is very pleasent to work with. She make sure the assigned work is very well liked with perfect finishing. She is also very open to take suggestions & work according client prioritis. I really enjoyed working with Leila.”

“This was a fantastic experience. I had previously purchased a beautiful concrete coffee table from a local showroom, but almost immediately the finish began deteriorating leaving behind very unsightly blemishes. The showroom owners were nice enough to contact Muckalee Crete to create a replacement for me. The new table was even more beautiful than the previous one was originally. And of course Muckalee knows how to properly finish their concrete, so it has remained beautiful. They were courteous, prompt, and most importantly, did an absolutely amazing job creating a gorgeous piece of furniture for me. Top notch work.”

“I had seen Julie's work around town and loved it! I gave her a call and she came out and gave me a quote for my mural. It was very reasonable for the size of the painting I wanted. Julie is very dependable and works fast. The mural is beautiful and I've received so many compliments from everyone that's seen it! Everytime I walk into my dining room it takes my breath away and I'm so glad I made the decision to do it!”

“Rarely in this industry will you find a company where their words match their actions. That is what you can expect when you hire Grace Designs for your project. The level of expertise and professionalism within Grace Designs is unmeasured. After working with Gracie Reed and her team for the past two years on multiple projects I can tell you, if you aren't working with Grace Designs you're making a mistake. Don't believe me? Come on over to my house and I guarantee you the first question you will ask is who did all this beautiful creative work? Don't worry, I have the contact information and will happily share it. I recommend all my friends and colleagues to Grace Designs.”

“I am helping a client update and lighten and brighten her house. Dawn from Artisan Finishes did a fabulous job painting this dark stone to look like Austin stone. She was very easy to schedule and work with. I was confident that the project would turn out beautifully and AF did not disappoint!”
