We're back! No appointments necessary.

We’re so glad to be open to the public again. We’re still taking appropriate precautions for the health and safety of everyone, but it’s so good to see people and share the camaraderie we missed so much.

Because of the nature of our business and the size of our shop, we want to clarify that our “no appointment necessary” policy still stands. Feel free to come in with your framing, to browse the artwork, or for a consultation. If you prefer to make an appointment, we’re happy to comply.

We’re still wearing masks and gloves, disinfecting between clients, and offering curbside pickup.

As always, don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns

COVID19 Re-Opening Guidelines

Updated 5/7/20

Our phone lines are open starting Wednesday, May 6 from 9:30am-1:30pm. However, email is still the best way to reach us.

With the Safer at Home restrictions being lifted, we're opening our doors Monday, May 11 from 9:30am-5:30pm. We are so looking forward to seeing you again.

Here are a few things we can do to help each other as we work to maintain the highest standard of service while ensuring the health and safety of our clients and staff:

  • We're offering curbside pickup of framing orders and art purchases. Just send us an email or give us a call and we can arrange to have your order ready at the door for an efficient handoff. We'll be offering this service moving forward until Social Distancing Restrictions are relaxed or removed.

  • We encourage you to make an appointment for any custom framing orders you'd like to drop off.

  • As required by the current reopening phase, the staff will be wearing masks both for our safety and yours.

  • It's not entirely possible to keep six feet of distance during transactions and custom framing design, but please stay aware of your distance from fellow shoppers; we'll offer friendly reminders when necessary.

  • Please allow us a few minutes between transactions to disinfect counters, computers, and tools, as well as to wash/sanitize our hands

We'll keep you updated on any changes to these precautions via email, on our blog, and across social media.

Custom Framing: Multiple Mats

Works on paper and photographs generally benefit from having a mat included in custom framing materials. A mat helps keep the piece in place, enhances the focal point, and keeps the glass from being directly on the artwork.

A simple way to add something special to a 2D piece is by using multiple mats. In the piece below, you can see how adding a few mats in different tones really draws the eye in to the piece. They accentuate the different tones in the artwork, as well.
