My watercolor was last framed in 1963 for my Grandparents who have since passed away. It is the…read moreonly thing of theirs I have. It has hung in my house and the frame was all wrong, but I did not know why. I had wanted to reframe it, but I felt if I did not know what I wanted why bother? Shirley immediately explained what I could not articulate regarding the relationship of the frame to the art. She helped me to work through possible selections to find what I liked and helped me to understand why it worked. She showed me selections that on the surface I would have said no way, that frame is ugly, but when she paired it up with another frame it allowed the art to sing. Highlighting the art is the function of the frame. I really respect the fact that she never said I like this one best, or I don't like that one, but helped me to see each with my art and what feature each enhanced. She was full of tricks including showing me how to hold my hands to fool my brain into seeing what it would look like with different frame setups. Shirley is an artist, not only in traditional art but also in the art of framing. This is where you want to go with anything that has meaning or value to you to be framed. This is a place that will help you find what you like or want when you don't know what you want. You can trust her with your heirloom because it never leaves her store and she understands what it means to you. You will never get this kind of help or service in a chain location. This store exemplifies why small businesses are the best. I am a little gushy here, but I am more than pleased with the final result.

Magnolia House Custom Framing is like a hidden gem in plain sight…read more I was greeted by the lovely and very knowledgeable owner, Shirley. She was able to quickly assist me in picking a beautiful frame that really enhanced the artwork that I had brought to her. Although there is quite an array of choices, Shirley wasl quickly lead you to the perfect one. I think the best part too is that the owner gives back by hosting a local group of artists in her shop on Tuesday afternoons and additionally provides an outlet for them to sell their work. I highly recommend stopping in, even if it's just to see the local art work and say "Hello",

I was able to come in, show the owner some previous framings I had done, and she made the aesthetic of her piece look aligned with my previous pieces that I had done elsewhere.
