Reflect your style

Ever consider a custom Mirror?

We'll start considering.

Mirrors are a wonderful way to add a bit of light to a dark room, create space in a small area and frame the most important people in your life.

From the most traditional to dramatically unusual, we can help you find the perfect fit.

Custom framing and your home

It's a time of year when things are looking a big gray. Outside is cold. Inside now that the holidays have passed, I know my home is in need of something to jazz it up. I'm tired of the same old. I need some new life!Beth Ellis, Path to the Beach, wonderful gold frame

This is a great time to look critically at your artwork and consider either adding a piece or reframing something that is looking a bit tired.Antique Map of France, 1798 with fabulous acid free matting and ornate linear frame

Custom Art Framing is a great place to come to revisit your frame selections of the past and get estimates for new framing options. Sometimes a new mat is all that is required. Sometimes a new frame can make a big difference. Take a look around and come visit us. We're always happy to see what we can work up with you.Michelle Clay, Peppermint, original oil painting. All sizes $100

If yo'ure considering you need new artwork, Gallery 9 at Custom Art Framing is where you should come. We showcase a wonderful assortment of local original artwork at affordable prices. Established and new collectors are welcome to come by and look. You never know what you may find!

We hope to see you soon, just to start the conversation.

The Beauty of Frames

Frames and frame samples seem like just a holder for the art they are surrounding. But, if you ever look at them on their own they are really quite interesting. They are some many colors and textures they come in. They are almost art themselves

Our "to do" list

It's been a wonderful feeling at the shop lately. We've been crossing things off our neverending "to do" list with amazing speed. Of course the issue is that the same list gets new things added to it a little quicker but that is always to be expected.

As promised, our newly redesigned website has launched. It was fun to wait for it to upload and be "live." I think the look of it is stellar---clean and simple and classic. The artists pages are even a bit chic, no?

The bi-monthly periodical Artscope comes out Friday, March 7th and we can't wait. It'll be our first time in the issue and we're excited to be included and look forward to a year's presence in the magazine.Funny how the commitment to Artscope has us a bit more focused. We made some changes to the front of the store Friday which involved painting some areas of the front window glossy black and a spring green color called, funny enough, Al Green. (Someone mentioned to us that this paint company also has a color called Barry White. Things can be such fun when people don't take themselves too seriously.)
I'm posting these photos of Julie and Nancy working on some custom framing jobs. More photos of the shop to follow!
