Could be the most important thing you hang on your walls...

Framed objects often become some of the most cherished of family possessions.



There is usually a story behind the object that is fun to share with others who see it. Proper framing isn't just to present the item being framed, it can also help protect it.

Preparing for your frame shop visit

Preparing for your frame shop visit



When you visit us here in the frame shop to have something custom framed, we will generally ask you questions about the room where the piece will hang. You can reduce your time at the shop (though we love to help- take YOUR time) by figuring a few things out before you leave home.



We will typically ask the colors and style of the room. You can take things a step further by bringing a few photos, even on your phone, showing different views of the room where the new framing will hang. This will give us a clearer picture of your personal style so together we can help you choose the best frame design for your specific circumstances. Finally, it is helpful to provide the approximate size of your room, especially the wall where the framed piece will hang. We'll then know the ceiling height, if it isn't standard.



With matted pieces, they may be able to adjust proportions a bit to help the completed pieces relate to the room better.
