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

that really helps to anchor the bed.

Have Love, Will Travel

A romantic getaway is always nice. But if you can't travel across the globe for Valentine's Day, why not bring the world to your sweetheart? Framing makes it possible to preserve a special memory in so many ways. Here are a few that will help inspire you...

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.
