The Mirrored TV Frame

As custom picture framers, we're constantly talking to customers about how to best enhance their art how best to help the art stand out and the framing play the supporting role. There are few exceptions to this rule, but one notable one comes in the form of our TV Frame.

In this case, we aim to choose a frame that compliments the decor of your home, and we use two-way mirrored glass to conceal your flat screen TV. It's an elegant and practical solution - no need to open any doors to reveal your screen. Simply turn on your TV and it shows through the glass. When it's off, it appears as though an elegant mirror is hanging on your wall.

Ask about our TV Frame - we'd love to help design yours!

Outside the Box

At Framin' Place & Gallery, LLC, we love new ideas. Here are a few of the latest things that have caught our eye...
We love the way this artwork is hung. Notice how great the pieces look together, and the framing isn't even close to matching. And did you catch the size of the mat on the piece on the left??? Totally eye catching - draws your eye right to the art!

How 'bout this for something new?

And, finally, an interesting way to hang family photos. It adds interest, cohesion, and while the framing isn't identical on every piece, the varying black frames and mats create a sense of unity.

It's Magic!

Here stands one of our favorite regulars, Diane, with her Saints visor encased in a two-sided shadow box. How did we "float" this treasure? It's magic! Or black tack at the top and fishing line.

Making the Grade

School spirit does not end on graduation day, just ask the alumni who show their school support by painting their faces and donning brightly colored wigs at football games. Of course, there are also subtle ways to support your alma mater, like displaying your hard earned diploma proudly.

Whether the ink is still wet or there is a layer of dust on your diploma, we can create a unique design that fits your personality. For instance, your school colors can be inlaid using two colors in a single mat layer. And unlike the mass-produced versions found in campus bookstores, we can add personal touches. We can include your degree or even your school motto. Do you have a special memento, like a car decal, embroidered patch, or other token? We can include that in your custom frame as well.

Whether you are looking to upgrade the frame on your own diploma or are surprising a recent graduate with a special gift, we can work with you to create a personalized design.
