Headboard Frames

Think custom framing is just for art? Think again! Here's a clever way of customizing your personal retreat in a way you might not have thought of. Create a headboard that's just your style.

Here's a different take on the same idea.

Love the placement and the unobtrusive art.

Love how this "headboard" follows the roof line.
It draws your eye to the most interesting architectural feature of the room.

The grid effect gives this headboard a graphic structure
that really helps to anchor the bed.

Make a Memory Wall

You've heard us say it before: We've framed just about everything. One of the most meaningful ideas we work with is to frame a collection. Collections have impact, but the best part is the story they tell. They're true conversation starters.

Plus, putting something three dimensional on your wall is a bit unexpected. It goes outside the boundaries of traditional artwork to give depth to your focal points. And a collection can be made of almost anything! They can go well beyond postcards, baseball cards and stamps. Here are a few ideas of interesting collections that we hope will inspire you to display some memories of your own....

Vintage Button Pins - arrange them in the shape of an initial or a heart.

This idea would work well for buttons or stamps, too.

Frame a Vintage Bathing Suit or other piece of clothing from your family's past.
A Christening Gown or a Boy Scout Uniform make a lovely memory.
