Another gorgeous frame from The Chester Frame Company to really pull color into the home. This design came together faster than a bird can tweet its hellos.
The illustration comes from Denver artist Miriam Dubinsky- who’s whole portfolio could brighten any Pittsburgh day :)

An amazing lithograph by Martha Mayer Erlebacher found it’s forever home the other day. We decided to show the entirety of the paper- as the image went right up to the beautiful tiful deckled edge of the paper. One of the great things about the framing world is finding new artists to love and be inspired by :)

Should you frame your kiddo’s art? Umm… of course! Finger paint, styrofoam bubbles, googly eyes, it all has a place. Make it elegant, make it couture! The only bad part about framing your kiddos art is picking through the mass of creative output and only choosing a few to frame! We’re happy to help in that part too :)

Family heirlooms? Let us at em!
This was a photo set of the customer’s mom- in a dress she made in 8th grade for a contest! The photos were already in a beautiful (although falling apart) vintage folder which we decided to keep as part of the design. Museum glass and archival matting will keep these safe and stable for generations to come :)

Wonderful woodblock print by Kat Charnley that we framed earlier this year for the Edinboro University graduate alumni show! UV protective museum glass takes away an amazing amount of glare, which is especially nice for gallery settings when you may not know what the lighting situation will be ;)

Big tapestry day! This amazing Peruvian rug was meticulously stitched down to stretched linen, for a minimal organic look. Yes, even the fringe was stitched piece by piece, no flopping when this baby is up the wall!

You don’t always have to match your frame color to your artwork, but man, this one worked perfectly. We do hope you enjoy the dutch angles we deemed necessary to show you the illusions you’ll get when looking at this guy from the sides.

A customer had carried this piece of coral with them for a few decades before coming to us to finally have it framed. We meticulously stitched it to an aqua fabric mat with the slightest shimmer, and we could not get enough of the rounded corner frame. Rob even made us matching walnut spacers to carry the beauty of the wood inside.
