Their ability to create amazing works enhance residential and commercial spaces.

I used Anything But Plain on my home and their work is fabulous. Their attention to detail is amazing. They truly are about every client and it shows. Their designs and finishes are outside the box and I love their work!

As an interior designer, we recommend Anything But Plain for their professionalism, and attention to detail. They always do a fabulous job for our client and we find them easy to work with on the design side as well.

I've had the sincere pleasure of working with Janie and her talent team of artisans on several projects in the past years. It is always a delight! Anything But Plain offers outstanding & unique finishes, a talented & professional team, and true partnership with the design professional & homeowner. In addition, they have work hard to accommodate our often fast paced project schedules. I know that I can rely on them for consistently beautiful high-end finishes and superior customer service for every project! Anything But Plains truly is one of our most valuable resources for adding that special finishing touch to an interior.

Anything But Plain applied custom faux finishes to 6 room in our home. This included three ceilings and custom design and finishes on cabinet fronts & barrel ceiling. The design and finished work was extraordinary. We receive compliments every single time anyone enters our home. The ABP team was professional, fast and organized. I just wish we had more rooms and surfaces for them to transform.

Janie and her company Anything But Plain, painted a custom faux design in our dining room on the walls and ceiling. She also painted some custom made cabinets for our family room and glazed our stone fireplace. Janie did an excellent job working with us in matching the overall theme and colors for our home, she really listened to what we were wanting to create in our living space. The pricing for the job was very reasonable for the work that was done and she stayed within budget. Janie and her crew were very professional and we worked very well with them. We are now working on our next project with Janie and her team. They did an exceptional job and we absolutely love how she transformed our home.

Janie and her entire team of artisans are not only a pleasure to work with, but exceptionally talented! I have worked with them closely over many years and their commitment to customer service, coordination with other trades involved and client satisfaction is remarkable and always appreciated. Finding artisans that are not only creative but business minded can be challenging, and Anything But Plain manages to excel at both!

I have had the wonderful opportunity over the past fifteen years to be a part of Janie Ellis' team as a muralist. Working with Janie is always a good experience. She is very professional in her control of the project, explaining to me exactly what she is looking for and aiding me in any way needed to meet deadlines. The bonus has been for me to watch her skilled team of artisans at work. Utilizing new products and techniques combined with traditional staples is apparent when perusing Janie's dynamic and exciting portfolio. It is the most fortunate client who has chosen Anything But Plain to handle their decorative painting needs.

When I want a client to have a unique and one of a kind finish in their home Anything But Plain, Inc. is the company I recommend. Janie Ellis and her team are extremely talented professionals and a dream to work with. I know with their knowledge and years of experience in the decorative finish industry the client will receive a custom out of the box design.

Anything But Plain produces some of the finest work I have seen in Houston. Since Janie and her team moved to the Houston Design Center, I have had more chances to see all the different techniques and ideas they have. I would recommend her with great confidence.

Janie and her company of Artists are amazing! They love what they do and it shows in all their work. I've known Janie to always be positive and happy to get started on a new project. They are experienced professionals in their field and always on time to start and finish. We worked together on a wine room where the end result was fabulous. The client wanted the walls to look like something they had seen while traveling in Italy. The end result was just that, and my client is happy. As a designer, I like working with Janie because she is easy to work with and very talented. I'm thankful for all her knowledge and experience which could not have been achieved without her.

Five stars isn't enough. Anything But Plain is by far the best artistic finish company I have ever worked with. After approving the sample I could leave town and know the finished product will be like the sample. They are very professional. I will always have them as part of my team.
