Sometimes the smallest details make the whole design.

For this colorful original watercolor, we wanted the framing to feel every bit as delicate as the artwork itself.

Rather than covering the edges with a traditional mat, we floated the watercolor over a soft silk mat — allowing the paper itself to become part of the presentation — then finished it with a slender custom frame that picks up those beautiful blush tones.

And because original artwork deserves protection, we finished it with Museum Glass for exceptional clarity and UV protection. You can barely tell there’s glass there at all!

Soft texture. Subtle color. Just enough shimmer.

A delicate little frame for a piece with plenty of personality.

This classic Hatch Show Print from Nashville came to us ready for its wall moment.

With artwork this bold and graphic, we kept the framing simple — an ebonized walnut custom frame and cream with red matting that picks up the colors in the print and lets that unmistakable design do all the talking.

Hatch Show Print has been making iconic letterpress posters in Nashville since 1879, so this isn’t just a cool piece from a trip — it’s a little piece of printing history.

Bring home the art. We’ll take care of the rest.

This charming little piece may be small in size, but it has plenty of personality.

We kept the framing light and airy with soft white tones and subtle texture, giving all that beautiful turquoise, orange and green plenty of room to shine.

A great reminder that artwork doesn’t have to be BIG to make an impact on your walls.

Sometimes the little pieces are the ones that make you smile the most.

Yep. We framed a shopping bag. 😎 But not just any shopping bag…

This Barneys New York bag featuring Lady Gaga was WAY too fabulous to end up tucked away in a closet.

We floated the entire bag — handle and all — against a black background, added a little gold detail, and finished it with a bold red frame that was more than willing to match the energy.

Because around here, if it means something to you, we can probably frame it.

And sometimes the coolest art was never technically “art” to begin with. ❤️

Well, this was a fun one. 🏈

We frame plenty of puzzles… but it’s not every day we get to frame one for the NFL Hall of Famer who’s actually pictured in it!

With this much action already happening, we kept the design clean and simple with a sleek black frame that lets the puzzle tell the story.

Definitely one of those projects that makes us say, “Yep… we have a pretty cool job.”
And no, we’re not telling you who it is. 😉 Any guesses?

Our client brought this vibrant canvas home from a trip to Africa and brought it to us to turn it into something ready for the wall.

We stretched the canvas and finished it with a textured gold custom frame that plays beautifully against that incredible pink background while letting all the color and personality of the artwork shine.

Now instead of a rolled-up canvas from an amazing trip, it’s a piece of that experience they get to enjoy every day.

This is why we love framing travel treasures. 💛

For this charming garden scene, we kept the framing warm and understated — a rich wood custom frame paired with a light liner that gives the artwork just enough breathing room.

The darker wood grounds all those beautiful pinks, purples and greens without competing with them, while the liner creates a soft transition into the piece.

Colorful art. Quiet framing. Beautiful balance.

When the artwork is this weird, you don’t tame it. You frame it. 🤘

This vintage Skinny Puppy *Too Dark Park* poster came to us with PLENTY of personality already, so we leaned into it — a smoky blue mat pulled straight from the artwork and a distressed charcoal frame to finish it off.

Dark. Industrial. Slightly unhinged.

Exactly as Skinny Puppy intended.

A powerful piece deserves framing that honors it.

This dramatic depiction of Jesus and His disciples on the stormy sea is filled with incredible contrasts — darkness and light, fear and faith, chaos and calm.

We framed the canvas with a natural linen liner and warm gold frame, drawing from the beautiful glow surrounding Christ while allowing the artwork itself to remain the focus.

A timeless, reverent design for a truly meaningful piece.

We kept the palette earthy and understated for this detailed storefront sketch — a soft sage mat paired with a burl wood frame that brings in plenty of natural texture and character.

The result feels rustic without being too rustic, traditional without feeling stuffy, and lets all those great little details in the drawing do their thing.
That’s the magic of a good custom frame.
