**★★★★★ — donna\_hofstra, Feb. 2016**

> Julia is incredibly talented in her vision as well as her execution. She is professional and always honest about the project at hand, on time, tidy and trustworthy. She is a positive and artistic person who works well with clients and has numerous ideas and suggestions for a project but allows the client to dictate direction. She has completed coordination of painting of all our woodwork, trim, doors and baseboards in the family room/kitchen/guest bath. She has done custom kitchen cabinets for us, including specialized finishes on island and hall cabinet. In addition, Julia was able to update faux painting in our study and our family room, despite a change in light fixtures and re-plaster of the wall; it was amazing!!  She has helped transform a house we purchased that was not our style into the warm home we have today!
> I would highly recommend working with Julia at Unique Creations.

**★★★★★ — User, Feb. 2016**

> Working with Julia is amazing!  She is professional and comes to the table with so many excellent ideas.  I would highly recommend her for anything you need done.  She has refinished all my kitchen cabinets in 2 homes and several other pieces of furniture.  I get compliments on her work from everyone who sees it.

**★★★★★ — Jennifer Childress, Feb. 2016**

> I am an Interior Designer and have hired Julia to work on several projects for my clients.  She has been my only source for Faux Finishing for the past 10 years.  Julia has a keen eye not just for color, but for the design as a whole.  She has the ability to see exactly what the piece of furniture or walls should look like and knows exactly how to accomplish that.  Julia has also done several kitchen and bathroom cabinet resurfacing projects for my clients as well.  She is able to rework the existing product, save cost and satisfy the needs of the client and designer at the same time. Her artistic abilities are unmatched in the North Dallas Area.  Julia is extremely professional and is dedicated to her work.  An excellent finished product and a thankful client is what Julia is looking for.  It has been a privilege to work with her for so many years.

**★★★★★ — Rebecca Sehnert, Feb. 2016**

> Julia's work is gorgeous!  She truly listens to what you would like to accomplish & is a consummate professional.  She did some faux finishes on our walls when we first moved in to our house.  Beautiful work!

**★★★★★ — Sandra Tollison, Feb. 2016**

> She did such a great job helping us find a countertop that we could put in our kitchen!  She has a great eye for what would make great updates, but respects whatever decisions you make.  She does amazing work, I have see other work she has done, and she is truly an artist!

**★★★★★ — ray\_young42, Sept. 2015**

> Julia did an excellent job on our kitchen.  We had another company to apply a skip trowel texture and paint our kitchen.  They did a good on the texture, but the paint job just didn't get it.  Julia came in and applied a faux finish using tinted glaze to enhance the skip trowel texture. The glaze was the perfect touch necessary to work with existing cabinet wood tones.  We love our kitchen.  I highly recommend Julia and Unique Creations.

**★★★★★ — R Purtell, Sept. 2015**

> I love my kitchen table and have had it for several years so when the wood veneer table top started to discolor I contacted Julia at Unique Creations.  She was able to refresh my table top so that it matched the base of the table exactly and she sealed it.  It looked great!  Later, when I put a hot plate on the table it turned the plate spot grayish/white.  I called Julia back for help and she easily (for her!) repaired the singe and made it look as new.  She is timely, professional and a master at making things more beautiful!  I would definitely recommend her!

**★★★★★ — Carol Hindes, Sept. 2015**

> Julia has done two bathrooms and some cabinets for me.  She did excellent work and finished on time and within budget.  She was very creative and imaginative with her ideas and designs, and she was very helpful in coming up with solutions for areas that I was unsure what to do with.  I had an odd shaped window in my bathroom and she gave me a few good ideas for dealing with it.  I decided to cover it with stained glass, and she put me in touch with someone who could do the work.  She was  very professional and was always on time and ready to work.  I felt  comfortable having her in my home and would feel very confident recommending her to my friends.

**★★★★★ — sydmcclintic, Sept. 2015**

> We have owned two 1980's, "fixer-uper" homes. In both cases, Julia helped us bring our space up to date in the most beautiful way. She truly has a gift for transforming trash into treasure!!

**★★★★★ — wwweisz, Sept. 2015**

> Julia transformed our stark white (almost like primer) kitchen cabinets and woodwork into things of beauty. Very professional, prompt, and finished earlier than expected. She is so creative and talented. You will not be disappointed!

**★★★★★ — Interiors by Kathy Rollins, LLC, Oct. 2013**

> I have worked with Julia for many years over a variety of projects.  She is extremely talented, creative, professional, hard working and trustworthy.  Her experience is greatly beneficial; I can always trust her input and guidance when it comes to specialty painting projects.  She has done large and small jobs for my clients over the years, from entire kitchen cabinet makeovers to custom decorative vases.  She has a vast and thorough understanding of materials, which is critical when it comes to specialty painting.
>
>  She is a very important member of the team of contractors I call on for execution of a project; her contribution to each job is extremely important and valued.  My clients love working with her; she has excellent communication skills and puts my clients at ease during a project.  I always have complete confidence that if Julia is working on my project, the job will be done to the highest level of expertise, professionalism and quality.

  - Description: This beautiful home in Fairview (Near Dallas) had been updated but when it came to the kitchen the snag was the brick.

However, using Faux Effects products we were able to update the brick to compliment the stunning contemporary kitchen of their dreams.
