**★★★★★ — Fainting Goat Wine Cellars, Dec. 2019**

> Dana is very professional and dependable. She does fantastic work and brought a project to life for me with a beautiful mural and ceiling effects better than I could have ever imagined. Great work! I will use her again.

**★★★★★ — User, June 2014**

> Dana is not only a gifted artist, she is a joy to work with!  We hired her to paint our school library and foyer.  We were so impressed with her work that we called her back to paint our main hall and café!  She has a strong work ethic, has an extremely reasonable fee structure (we checked competitors) and is personable, professional, and trustworthy.  You can count on complete satisfaction with your end product.  We will be forever grateful to Dana.  She has transformed our building into a showcase to the delight of our students, staff and families!

**★★★★★ — ksmdesigns, May 2014**

> Dana painted my daughter's bedroom as a surprise for her 15th birthday. She and we love it so much! The work was great, Dana delivered exactly as promised. We love it as much as when it was first completed. It hasn't grown old. Highly recommend hiring Dana for your project!

**★★★★★ — tuckerblack42, May 2014**

> We LOVE Dana! She has done several projects for us both at home and for my antiques store. She has a keen eye for color and design and is a fantastic artist! She can paint everything from whimsical kid's themes to antique classic designs.  She is very reasonable and fair and goes out of her way to make the customer happy and never cuts corners. Plus, she is dependable and a lady of her word. I highly recommend her for any painting projects one might have.

**★★★★★ — stackof5, April 2014**

> I have worked with Dana several times, and have been so pleased with her indescribable talent, her dependability, the price, and her willingness to make sure she knew exactly what I wanted.  I had my two boys' rooms painted with murals on all walls.  She had great creative ideas to make the murals fun.  She painted a huge backdrop for our elementary school video news and did a mural at my mom's.  I would hire her again in a second!

**★★★★★ — kdalley09, April 2014**

> I would highly recommend Dana if you have any mural painting needs.  I found her from a friend who uses her. I have had her back at least 3x. She's very creative and has great ideas.  Her work is amazing. I get compliments all the time. I have had the following done....media room doors, media room curtains around projector screen, nursery murals, hand painted canvas prints, wine room Tuscan theme, and toddler boys room with locker room theme.  She is very reasonably priced.

> Again, I would highly recommend Dana for your mural needs!!

**★★★★★ — abarclay81, April 2014**

> I have had the pleasure of having Dana in our home on multiple projects ranging from kitchen archways/ceilings, teenage girls rooms, baby room and a majestic playroom. I am a repeat customer not only for the beautiful one-of-a-kind work she does but also her professionalism, attention to detail and not to mention an all around good person. I have left projects completely up to her, waiting to see the final work on the last day and been left in tears. I am 110% a customer for life. I highly recommend Custom Designs by Dana.

**★★★★★ — mlcovington, April 2014**

> When we built out last home I hired Dana to do murals in my kids rooms.  She did such an amazing job!  Upon our original meeting, I explained to her exactly what I was looking for and she was able to walk me through the details and provide me an estimate of the cost.  Dana was extremely professional and easy to work with.  She came in and did exactly what she said she was going to do for the price she quoted.  Her talent is next to none! I have recommended her to many of my neighbors and friends.  I will definitely be using Dana again in the future.

**★★★★★ — lisacroyer61, April 2014**

> We, my husband and i hired Dana summer of 2012 to paint two murals in our niches.  She did not have any pictures that we could utilize so i was able to find two that she could create for us and she did a beautiful job.  Love her and will definitely use her again!!!

**★★★★★ — lindjaso7477, April 2014**

> We were referred to Dana Kaunitz while in the process of building our new home.  She had so many great idea's for our butler pantry and guest bath that I would have never have thought of.  She also made my little girls room look so elegant with the design she did there.  She is such a delight to work with and very reasonable with her pricing.   I would never think of using anyone but Dana.
