diving into all things custom picture framing
art & framing inspiration
Welcome friends!
If you are searching for a little custom framing guidance and inspiration, you’ve come to the right place.
Custom framing can be the most FUN part about making a new art purchase. It’s an opportunity to design something that protects and enhances your art while also adding a bit of your own style and personality. Maybe you’ve been putting off taking your art to a frame shop because, well, you don’t really know what you’re walking into. Are they going to try to sell me stuff I don’t need? Will my art be safe there? Will I end up working with a designer that understands my style?
Whether you plan to frame with us or a local shop in your area, we’ve got a few goals here on the blog to help you discover your framing style and understand some of what goes on behind the glass! 😉

You can always catch the latest fun on Instagram or Pinterest. Let’s add some personality (yours!) to your art, photos, oddities…and ultimately, your space. ‘Cause that’s what it’s all about.
