I came to purchase chalk paint, figured I would try the most well known and was led to this location from the Annie Sloan website. First I want to say that the next week I needed more and my daughter was in Knoxville so she stopped to pick up and that experience makes this experience so much better. They took the time to educate me on how I was painting. I am an artist and almost thought it was so unnecessary but figured it was just good customer service and I appreciate that so I listened. But had I not listened, I would have really screwed up my piece. So excellent place for the beginner. I am not sure many places give this level of customer service, but I guarantee the place in Knoxville did not. read more

I came into the store with a couple of pictures of some projects using Chalk Paint I wanted to try even though I wasn't ready to buy that day. Liz was so helpful. She helped me figure out colors, did a demonstration for me on waxing techniques, and answered a ton of questions,. She personifies personality and service. I can think of a lot of businesses who could who could send staff to apprentice with her to teach them how to treat people. I went back a week later to make some purchases even though her store is much further away than my local one just because Liz was so great that I wanted to do business with her. I highly recommend this store. read more

Liz Douglas Design - Painters Near Me - Lexington, Kentucky

See all

Good painter but she is not open to change. She has a tendency to undercharge then get mad about it. My advice is to get a estimate and make sure you ask Liz if she is ok to make a change no matter how small after it is done. Then follow through before you pay her. read more

My husband and I have done over $5000 worth of business in the past year with "Liz Douglas" Design. A total of 4 jobs. Liz complained constantly to my designer about not "charging her enogh"on each item. She constantly talked about my designer behind my designers back. TRUE On my dining room table that she charged me $1500 to paint, it sems like the wax that was placed over the chalk paint was not set properly. My electrician sat a can down on the table and it left a definite circle. This can was not rusty nor was it drug across the wood. For this much money to paint, ane being a dining table, I dont think it should so easily be damaged. Liz saw it and complained how the electrician should not have put a can on it. She was supposed to fix it but never did. TRUE My designer requested for Liz to put other colors on aexisting new picture to help match the decor. I asked Liz not to spend too much time on it because I did not want to invest in an already existing picture that was paid for. Again, I was listening to her and "how much time" she put into it and when she charged me $550 to ruin my picture completely and have Doug paint the legs of my chair a gaudy silver paint as well as my bathroom mirror she said "I'll take the hit on it". I was stunned. Of course, I did not get a estimate on this before and that was a mistake. I never dreamed she would have charged this much. The coup d'etat was when I had Liz give me an estimate to paint a relic altar table with 2 colors of chalk paint. She demanded that I come to her store on a Saturday and see the color to determine if it was ok. When I saw the first layer, I liked it and commented that it was a great color and I did not need a second color. We went over how she was going to paint it and lastly I asked if was going to be sanded in the many rough areas. Her comment was "of course". (Keeping in mind the labor went down from 2 layers of paint to one) The appointment litereally ended with her telling me and my designer that we had spent too much time in the store and that we needed to go, her business was so backed up and she needed to work. This was rather odd because she is the one who kept the conversation going. I felt hurt and also it was rude. She texted me 2 days later telling me that she wanted me to come see the piece TODAY. Since I had plans that day and did not plan on going to her store I let her know. The next day she texted me that she wanted that piece out of her store and that her husband was going to bring it to my house (site unseen). I immediately went down to see it. Nothing had been done differently except painting it all one color (since Saturday). The wood was rougn, it was sloppy and none of the contours were accentuated with dark wax. It had not been sanded at all. When I pointed it out, she verbally assaulted me. I was shocked and alarmed. She had even called her husband from the back of the store before she started up on me. I could not help but think it was orchestrated. Thank goodness I had my sweet dog with me to protect me (which Liz gave a very disapproving look when I brought her in (leashed)---but there was no way I would keep her in the hot car!). She charged me $375 plus the week before had accepted $50 from us to get dinner. Lastly on an odd note...after all this, Liz was super sweet to my husband...hmmm...kind of like patronizing....hmmm. Over all, very unprofessional. Hurtful experience. read more
