As we enter the last few days of 2019 it’s always fun to look back on all the projects that have made up the year and have brought us to where we are today. We can’t help but feel overwhelmed with gratitude as we reflect on some of this year’s favourite designs. 

Seasons end and new ones begin. We look ahead to new adventures and the changes that have taken place around and within us, but it’s important to remember all that we’ve been through up until this point. Every struggle, victory, sorrow or celebration have brought us to today and shaped us into the person we are now. Reflecting and remembering keep the journey real and reminds us of all that we are capable of. The University Project represents our client’s journey to achieving a doctorate.

We can’t tell you how touched we are by the stories that come into our shoppes. The sorrow, strength, smiles and bravery that our clients face and want to remember is tremendous. This is The Bravery Bead Project.

Its cold and rainy outside and we’re warm and cozy reminiscing about some of our favourite projects. Let’s take a trip down memory lane and fall in love with framing all over again!

Unique, vibrant and brimming with artistry, textiles make amazing wall décor. We are so excited to share the details of The Tapestry Project on today’s blog so you can see the results for yourself!

​If you have inherited an old piece of art or scored a treasure at a market it’s not always easy to see how weathered pieces can be wall ready again. This project will show you that it is possible!

The beauty in some tiles is undeniable. Those found on travels are not only visually stunning but also brimming with memories, making them ideal to custom frame and turn into wall décor. 

With school slowly coming to end for most, we find ourselves clinging to memories of hard work, dedication and many firsts along the way. The Tie Project captured our client’s school years and our hearts.

There are so many fun ways to add custom details to a framed piece and The Classic Truck Project showcases so many of them!

The weather has turned and it finally feels like spring! When I think of spring I think of bright whites and crisp finishes and that’s what our top pins are all about today. Let’s see how a white frame can be showcased in three ways.

​As you know, all month long we’re talking about something that is near and dear to my heart - organization! Next up on our “think outside the frame” discussions are trinkets or tiny collectibles.

All month long we’re talking about ways to “think outside the frame” and use custom framing to get you organized. This next example is perfect for the collector and just happens to be one of my favourites!

​As the capabilities of technology have grown so have our abilities as custom framers and we’re loving it! We’ll tell you what we mean on today’s blog as we discuss The Group of 3 Project.

We’ve given you a little preview of The Mad Magazine Project and today we’re going over all the details on the blog for this collectible magazine turned art!

There is never a dull moment in the world of custom design. The Awards Project forced us to push our imaginations to get just the right fit for our client satisfying need, want and of course…delivering a final product that was completely ‘wow’! 

With 2018 coming to an end our hearts are full of gratitude as we look back on all the projects that we were privileged enough to be a part of. We can truthfully say that we love each and every one of them! The clients and stories that came through our shoppes inspired us, and moved us, and we are forever thankful. Here’s a look back on three amazing projects from this year.

Jayne was thrilled to take this order and the end result was incredible! Today’s blog, we’re talking about all that went into the two ammonites project.

There are countless tiny details that a custom framer considers to bring a project to the next level. These details make the end result feel polished and really help achieve that ‘wow’ moment for our clients.

We serve all sorts of clients and work on many different projects for all kinds of needs, but there is one design request that keeps coming up…

​It’s no secret that I’m an antique fanatic so when clients bring their vintage finds to our shoppes I’m over the moon! I appreciate the warmth and character that these pieces bring to a space and wanted to show you some of my favourites!

Being a custom picture frame company, we are presented with unique requests that challenge us! This amazing portfolio-styled art piece, purchased at a museum, needed to have both the cover and inside of the triptych visible, while maintaining the integrity of the piece. Let’s get to work!
