Welcome friend!
Since you’ve stumbled upon our blog, I’m guessing you have one or two (or ten? It’s ten, isn’t it…) tubes of rolled up art stashed away somewhere and you’re trying to figure out how the heck to get those beauties displayed on your wall. Well, don’t worry, if you are searching for a little guidance and inspiration, you’ve come to the right place.
Custom framing can actually be the most FUN part about making a new art purchase. You get to put your own creative spin on the piece and make that puppy shine. I get it though. You’ve been putting off taking your art to a frame shop because, well, you don’t really know what you’re walking into. Are they going to try to sell me stuff I don’t need? Will my art be safe there? Will I end up working with a designer that understands my style?
Whether you plan to frame with us or a local shop in your area, we’ve got a few goals here on the blog to help you discover your framing style and understand some of what goes on behind the glass! 😉

We’re gunna let you in on all of the trade secrets.
Just kidding, you’d probably be super bored. But we ARE going to give you the rundown on the framing basics so that you don’t feel totally in the dark when you go to work with a framer…’cause no one wants to feel like that.

Let’s just have fun with it!
We get super serious and technical when it comes to handling and engineering structurally sound displays to protect and preserve art, but we also love a good DIY project, or exploring unique, fun ways to display your art in your home. Let’s add some personality (yours!) to your art, photos, oddities…and ultimately, your space. ‘Cause that’s what it’s all about.
Check back periodically for new blog posts chock-full of framing fun! Or, if you are as excited as I am and don’t want to miss a post, you can sign up for our mailing list and get notifications when new inspiration hits the blog!
