Sometimes the most unexpected and glitzy frame can add that final bit of pizzazz to a vibrant work of art.

Especially if you want to highlight the drama of a composition, our Bella Cabaret sequined moulding is sure to be the centre of attention and colourful conversations~

Can you imagine putting any other frame package on this exquisite Dorothea Tanning litho? This project is high up on the list of favorites for 2 reasons:

• We worked with the client on the whole design, but we were able to pull out the stops for what the artwork called for. We relish the opportunity to flex our design sensibilities.
•This gorgeous frame is on the chopping block to be discontinued by the manufacturer. We absolutely love this frame line and, even if it comes to an end soon, it's been a pleasure to have had it work it's way into our portfolio on several occasions. Each time, it was the pièces de résistance, and the client was over the moon with the final art object. 

You love finding the perfect art for your home or office. We LOVE finding the perfect frame package that enhances the artwork and fits your style. This design idea was fun and more fun. Sometimes it's that simple.

With certain valuable objects that are especially delicate - such as silk fabrics - static mounting is 100% noninvasive and an archival way to secure the piece within the frame. We ALWAYS approach a project with preservation as the first method in the design process. 

The following selections are all Hermès scarves. To reduce rippling and other unsightly puckers, the scarf is placed between two sheets of TruVue Conservation Acrylic (plexiglass) and painstaking adjustments are made to keep the item taut and centered in the frame package. The pressure and adjustments create a natural static that keeps the scarf from slumping over time.  

Ina Garten once said, "My extravagance is my garden - it's the first thing I look at every morning when I wake up. It gives me so much pleasure."

And so similarly, if your extravagance is your garden, why not make your kitchen your gallery? A kitchen isn't just a hubbub for delicious foods and cooking, but also a core part of a home for gathering, and shared moments with family and friends.

We invite you to browse through this fun collection of tasty ideas to spruce up your kitchen, and add more joy as you step into your kitchen every morning.

Framing Friday is here and this will be the last 'year-of-ornate-frames' post. We LOVE these frames, but we have SO many other fun projects to feature.

THIS project is a goodie and one to earmark for reference. Framing this Byzantine icon is a fantastic example of tension mounting without the artwork touching the glass. Here we have a gilt painted woodblock with no manner of hanging apparatus on the back of it. Our task was to create a preservation frame package and 'do no harm' to the object (no adhesives, no screws, no attachments that would alter the condition of the artwork).

A suite, plus 1, of Grateful Dead art posters with a frame package tailored to fit the invested collector. Read more below about the close up details and what we used. Follow our INSTAGRAM for #FramingFriday featured design posts.

HO, HO, HO-ly crap this year's been tough. If you're giving the gift of something handmade, why not go one step more and get it framed? It's like putting the perfect pair of shoes on with the rest of the outfit.  You can always gift something to yourself this year, too, as a special "I made it through 2020," treat. Now's a perfect time get something started.

As we barrel into a season of gift-giving COVID style, here's a few notes on what we offer for you:

• We have designed plenty of frame packages from afar! Email us with your ideas and style and we'll use all of our creative design experience to collaborate with you on your project.
• There's a non-contact pickup and drop off location in the vestibule of the gallery. Call ahead to arrange a time.
• We will gift wrap your project! just ask! ...complementary as per usual
  
• We're offering free local non-contact delivery (we're considering 'local' 30 mile radius in proximity to the gallery)

Our custom framing service really knows no bounds. We can frame most anything, no matter the size or how intricate. And, in all reality, it's never easy and we know it. However, this was a challenge unto it's own!

The timeline for 4 giant posters did not seem overly complicated when they were dropped off and designed at the beginning of August. However, we would have never expected that a Derecho would hit our city and knock out power, phone and internet for as long as it did and slam our frameshop schedule right into the preparation for our current exhibition. Read more below for the details and how we got it all done!
