If you have a pet, you know how much love and joy animals can bring to your life. Many happy memories are made with your pet at your side – the ultimate companion! Most pets like dogs and cats are considered part of the family. When it comes to decorating your photo wall, don’t forget the pets! Whether your four-legged friend is curled up at your feet or has crossed the rainbow bridge, make sure to cherish their memory by including them in your framing. Here are some creative ways to remember your pet.

Oil paintings have been around for centuries. You've seen them lining the halls of museums, but do you know what it takes to frame one properly? What pulls it all together? Framing an oil painting is probably one of the most “taken-for-granted” processes of picture framing. Let's break it down into its parts.

You've made the cookies, addressed the cards, cleaned the menorah, and planned the party. Now it's time for the best part - decorating your home for the holidays. It’s easy to remember to trim the tree or light the candles, but what about your walls? Deck the halls this holiday season by using custom framing to add a festive touch. So put on some Christmas music, grab your favorite holiday drink, and get framing!

‘Tis the season for gift-giving, and you may be wondering how you can come up with memorable gifts for everyone on your list. Custom framing is the answer! Framing is a unique gift that is from the heart and unlike anything else you'll give this year.

There are many benefits associated with creating art. It can be relaxing to paint, draw or color. Art allows your imagination to run wild and your inner child to emerge. But for kids, creating art can teach them so much.

The frameless look is popular, but is it appropriate for what you need? Does it protect your art or enhance your image? Take a look at our examples to see what a difference a frame makes.

We all know someone who collects items like Beanie Babies, shot glasses, seashells, or wine corks. A collector's item is any object regarded as being of value or interest to a collector (not necessarily having monetary value or an antique). Why do we collect items? Is it because we hope to make a profit someday? Is it to create a legacy after we are gone? Is it for the thrill of the hunt or an emotional connection to the past?

Just because a sentimental item is made of fabric doesn’t mean it has to spend a lifetime in your closet. Textiles like autographed sports jerseys, handmade cross-stitched pieces, delicate embroidery, and heirloom clothing can be protected with custom framing. Fabric pieces make for rich visual displays so you can cherish your memories every day.

What makes someone a hero? Courage? Strength? Heroes come in all sizes and shapes and are all around us. Firefighters, police officers, and soldiers selflessly perform their jobs without thinking about the danger involved. Maybe your grandpa was a war veteran, or your daughter is active military. Show them they will always be in your heart by transforming their picture into a framed display.

Picture frames aren't often thought of as a fashion trend item, but they align closely with a time period's decor tastes. Art styles change over the centuries and are reflected in the era’s architecture, design, decor, fashion…and framing! Think back to the frames you have seen gracing everything from museum masterpieces to grandma’s family photos…each has a unique look in accordance to its era.

It's spring cleaning time! Time to clean the cobwebs and freshen up your space. Modernize your style with a few easy tweaks to your interior. New accent pieces and art showcasing popular materials can help give you a fresh look for the season. Refreshing a décor style can be as simple as a new coat of paint, a different pillow, or a new frame moulding.

The holidays will be here before we know it, and you want to buy meaningful gifts for the special people on your list. Gift cards and two-day shipping might be convenient, but custom framed gifts are treasured forever. What makes a gift memorable? When you are creating a unique framed project, you are giving your loved one a one-of-a-kind gift from the heart...something they wouldn't buy for themselves...something that evokes a smile every time they look at it. Now is the time to begin thinking about the unique memories, keepsakes, and treasures you want to frame for the holidays. Here's some ideas!

How much do you know about design?

Taking a piece of art to a framer can seem overwhelming and complex. You may not know the right questions to ask or what to look for when the designer shows you choices. Here's a quiz to help sort it out.

Remember that beauty is in the eye of the beholder...what matters most is what looks good to YOU!

Traditionally when hanging pictures on the wall, one picture would be hung by itself, and that was that. While a single piece of art can be inspiring and lovely to look at, sometimes you need your wall display to do more. Does it need to tell a story? Is it a conversation piece? Does it continue to capture your attention?

Vacation is a special time of year when you relax and get away from the craziness of reality, creating powerful memories of your time with friends and family.

Bring those items to us so we can help bring your vacation memories back to life. Relive the fun and excitement of your travels by seeing them custom framed on your wall every day.
