Let customers speak for us
from 236 reviewsThis was the 1st time using my own picture and it turned out great.
Trivet is done so well and the colors are vivid. I like showing it off!!
Excellent craftsmanship and great communication. Tiles were gorgeous and I immediately ordered more. Great way to share artwork. Quick turnaround.
The tile came out beautiful. The tile I took a picture of was cracked in different places and it came out perfectly
"Absolutely Perfect Gift! Stylish, Practical" Order was received prompltly and had very easy communication with seller
Wonderful placement of my brother's dog on a field of bluebonnets, would have liked a mountain scene, however, it looked like he was floating on the mountain! Katie's owner/proprietor sent me 2 samples. I think we both had a laugh about the "lifted" dog. My second choice was Texas bluebonnets. Beautiful! My brother and sister-in-law loved it. Thanks for the advice on floating dogs. Of course she could have sold me the mountain dog, but I saw the first sample then the bluebonnet sample. I didn't have to take her word; she showed me the best picture to represent Arnie! She gave me a choice. It is obvious she has a niche in this doggy business. The human touch she shows in her product delivery never goes out of style. Thank you.
The painting is exquisite. I got 3, two are gifts but I find it hard to let them go 😯. So have decided they will be Christmas gifts so I can have 7 more months to look at them. The Tulips are gifts and the sunflower is for me.
Katy tiles did such a great job! It was the perfect gift for my wife! Trivets of her puppy.

This was the absolute perfect Mother's Day gift! My mom loves her pup and absolutely loved seeing her little pup created on a trivet. Upon receiving, she immediately walked around to all all of her neighbor friends showing it off and regularly comments to me how much she loves it and truly resembles her girl. Ordering was a breeze with amazing customer service! I will definitely order again.
It's beautiful
I love them

This was the perfect tile for my niece she is a black cat lover and drinks coffee by the gallon!!! Great tile
We loved the presentation of the beagle on the trivet because we appreciate the unique personality of the beagle breed. That personality was captured perfectly on the trivet.
