A New Direction in Wall Decor: Maps

We've framed our share of maps, so when we see a new treatment, we can't help but get a little excited. Try these on for size...

The Art of Framing

We're always talking about how framing makes everything look better. Here's a good example. Whether it's vintage wallpapers or your favorite complimentary fabrics, a grouping like this makes a statement. Plus, it can be an economical way of procuring "art."

So... what kind of statement will you make?

Gift Ideas: Make It Personal

We see so many interesting art come through our shop. It's always fun to see a new take on personalized wall decor. You can create it yourself or buy it from an artisan. Either way, it always makes a personal and unique gift. Frame it up, and it'll warm up a wall in a way nothing else can!

Sneaky Gift Ideas

When you think of the holidays, you think of family, togetherness, and giving. But let's be honest... it's also a time of sneaking around. You're finding the right gifts for the right people, and sometimes that means doing a little bit of stealing. That's right, you heard us, we said "stealing!" Ok, maybe what we really mean is borrowing. As in you borrow your husband's treasured childhood Boy Scouts Uniform, bring it to us, and we frame it up, complete with a cute little snapshot of him as a boy, wearing it proudly.

We've aided and abetted many framing jobs over the years, from christening gowns to wedding gowns, sports gear to silverware, antique purses to poetry verses. Whatever your inspiration, think of us as your accomplice in your next picture framing caper!
