Custom Frame Design
The beauty is in the details, and details are what we love the most.
Each service we offer starts off with a design consultation, where you get our fully devoted attention and creativity at max power. “One Size Fits All” is definitely not our motto, and you won’t find a single cookie cutter in sight (unless we’re hangry).
From the personalized design process to the final fitting, we approach every project with love, care, and a capital “C” Crazy attention to detail, so your treasures can proudly Hang Steady for years to come.

conservation framing
This is the core of every project that we do. We use acid-free archival materials, UV filtering glazing products, and follow current preservation standards. Since no two projects are alike, we rely heavily on our crafty problem solving skills and genuine care for people and their treasured items when approaching each project.
canvas stretching
We use keyed stretcher bars, include appropriate cross bracing for structural support and can even perform the specialized conservation method of strip lining when there is not sufficient edge material for stretching. Your canvases will be strong, tight and ready to hang or frame!
made in los angeles
We are so proud that all of our framing work is done in our Los Angeles framing studio. Your art never leaves our care and your frames are fabricated to the highest quality standards right here. We treat our framing work like creating art for your art. Nothing mass produced. Every project, tiny or large is made with love.
SHADOWBOX FRAMING
For your keepsakes that have some depth, we offer custom shadowboxes or super sleek, acrylic display cases. We have framed everything from iPhones to ceramic sculptures and masks, to toys, and even plastic bags! Nothing is too weird. Seriously, let's get weird!
MIRROR FRAMING
Flat or specialty mirror options, like beveled and antique glass, can be combined with any frame in our extensive collection to create a truly customized, decorative mirror.
pick up & delivery
Our pick up and delivery services make it simple and convenient to get your pieces to and from our studio, especially if they are oversized. Price for this service varies based on distance and the number of pieces, but starts as low as $50. We hear the phrase "worth it" often.
pricing
In general, the cost of your project will depend on the total size of your piece and your selection of a number of components, the most common of which are included below:
- frame moulding
- mat/s
- glass type
- mounting method
- specialty details
As an example, pricing will start at around $250 for a small piece, up to 11”x14”.
