She is so meticulous and detailed in her work and it shows in your finished product. You'll love it. I am sure if you're reading all my new reviews, you are getting tired of hearing me say, I got a new house. However, when you get a new home, you do a lot of redecorating and shopping. I needed a poster for the guest bath framed and most importantly photos of the old Busch stadium reframed. Once again, Jaynelle did a great job on both. She matched the frame on the poster to a print I already had that would be hanging in the same bathroom. She also made sure it had a non-glare glass since it was in hanging near a large window. I wanted to save the mat on the Busch photos since the description was had written by the photographer and she masterfully accomplished my request. It looks as good as when I bought it in 2005. I may have moved to the eastside of the Mississippi, but when I need anything framed, I will be driving to the westside and to Dogtown. Will I return? - Damn, straight I will. When: September 30, 2020 Why: Custom framing for new house

The attention to detail and care they gave when describing the process and helping us choose our frame/mat was exceptional. They had so many frames to choose from, so that expertise was well appreciated. We dropped off our print just before Easter and were told there was a months-long backlog, but we could expect the print back in 4 months or so. It ended up taking 6 months to complete. We were out of town when they finally finished, so they kindly hung onto our work for another month before went to pay and pick up. While the project took longer than expected, we were appreciative of the kindness shown by the staff member who helped us and we would definitely return to have other things framed for our home.

I needed some photographic images framed and had just recently moved from Chicago so was not sure…read morewhere to get this project done. Through a search online, we found Norton's Fine Art and Framing. I'm very happy with the customer service, level of professionalism, creativity and skill of the people at Norton's. Owner Mary Norton shepherded my project and was a pleasure to work with. The project was creating a shadow box using 3 photographic images. The backstory... I'm a former photojournalist and pretty particular about how my work looks. In the 80's I created hand-made Christmas cards by printing 4x6 images of my work, then mounted the prints to 4x6 black mat board, making them a similar size to postcards and mailing them out. My mother-in-law saved all the cards sent her and gave them to my youngest daughter recently. My daughter spoke of her plans to have a shadow box made with her 3 favorites. I decided as a Christmas gift, I would surprise her by framing them. Mary is personable and her knowledge of framing options is extensive. Our discussion included type and depth of the frame, order of the images and type and color of matte board. A deep frame black frame was chosen for the piece. Since it was a deep frame, she suggested having each image at a different depth from the back of the piece, giving the artwork additional visual interest. After working through several iterations of various blacks and grays, I landed on two mats, both the same black with a grain. She suggested the grained mat board be cut in in one direction for the first mat and in opposite direction on the second mat. Since the grain reflected light in different way, the mat boards looked slightly different, but yet are the same mat. The side of the postcard with the postmarked stamp, the address and the Christmas greeting was not able to be seen, but Mary photocopied them at the original size and mounted them on the back of the shadow box. So it showed the uniqueness of the original work. It was a stunning presentation. When my daughter received the gift, she said it was the best Christmas gift she's received. Norton's Fine Art and Framing will be involved with all my framing going forward. I would put their work on par with any art I had framed when I living in Chicago.
