Ornate Custom Frame with Fillet for Watercolor
We can’t stop looking at this amazing watercolor by Kerry Konow @3paintedbirds ! We love how this frame’s motif plays on the beautiful feather embellishment in the art. This is a classic custom framing design with an ornate gold wood frame, a matching fillet and a satin black mat that perfectly picks up on the […]
Poster Framing: Aimee Mann Tour Poster from 2002
Tour Posters are a great way to remember our favorite music moments! We loved this Aimee Mann 2002 tour poster and used an old Hollywood style/ Art deco pattern picture frame to play on @realaimeemann hair and keep the fun vibe. This concert poster is now framed so it can be enjoyed and protected for […]

Photographs, prints, paintings, lithographs, canvas, you name […]

All About San Francisco
We love our City so much and had these two amazing San Francisco themed prints to frame. The map is from the official guide book for the 1939 World’s Fair in San Francisco. We were celebrating the new Bay Bridge and Golden Gate Bridge among other things. A natural wood frame with a mint green […]
French design mood with this 1800’s textile pattern!
This French textile pattern is from the late 1800’s! It’s actually five panels that we hinged together and mounted as one large piece. We found the perfect linen to float it on, almost looks like it’s taken straight from the pattern! And the ornate frame completes the feel for an antique French design. We love […]
Look at the detail in this mandala and gold frame we just finished
We are so happy how the custom frame for this mandala turned out. We were inspired by the amazing detail in the piece itself and chose a frame that has some line detail and also a traditional touch to it. A black silk mat with a fine gold fillet helped create space, calm and gives […]
Dark frames for ( mostly ) black and white art
This week we framed this amazing Fruit Stripes Zebra in Joshua Tree and these original storyboard drawings from the Lucifer comic!

Why we like to use mats for your art
Look at this amazing photograph of a pack of wild African dogs, also known as painted wolves! We could have chosen a frame design that is even more simplistic and not used a mat. So why did we use it? For visual reasons we really liked how the mat helps to draw you into the […]
