We love when our customers bring in their new acquisitions, and simply say, "Do what you do."
A small 8x10 painting of "Weird Mona Lisa," as titled by the artist. Using the Artifact line from Larson, and the new Bella frame as a liner. The customer was extremely delighted when she picked up her artwork.

One of our best customers brought in some memorabilia from his uncle, who served in WWII. He asked us to create a shadowbox that resembled someone just tossing the items in a drawer, and leaving them there for years. When he picked it up, we exceeded his expectations.
Come see us to create some memories for you.

When a client brings in a painting that shows one of the unforgettable characters from "House Of A Thousand Corpses," and tells us to make it work, we make it work.
Wanting to see the edge of the painting, instead of using a typical floater frame, we just used a smaller frame underneath the larger frame.
Mission accomplished.

What happens when a customer brings in a custom painted magazine cover, referencing his favorite movie (Terminator 2), and tells us to do what we do best?
We create a one-of-a-kind framing treatment.
Utilizing diamond plate, custom "cut" with a torch, a stacked moulding with 2 Larson Juhl frames, Museum glass, and, most importantly, LED lighting, we created this piece for our client.
Let's say he was pretty happy with the results.

The first rule of chess club.
"THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS CHESS CLUB!"
When one of out favorite artists (Rick Therrio) creates a piece this amazing, and incorporates a dragon model in the background, you know that you have to use a Bella moulding from the Castelli collection.
Perfection.

When one of your best customers, who's a huge Pink Floyd fan, brings in a signed Nick Mason poster, and says "Work your magic," we aim to please.
Using a triple-stacked moulding combination, and Museum glass, we made him say "Wow" when he picked it up.
Mission accomplished.

What do you do when your client wants a 6"+ wide white lacquer frame to surround his built-in aquarium, and the widest you have is 3"?
Why, you stack them, of course.
Using 4 Larson Juhl mouldings from the Bauhaus collection, we created exactly what this client needed.
