    Thought I would have to get this custom-framed due to the odd size and uneven margins but they helped me find a much less expensive solution
    Valeria R.

    Whaaaat?! Why haven't I tried Cheap Pete's before?!? During my incessant rounds of our local vintage stores, I'm constantly running across paper ephemera that I can't resist. Given its vintage nature, much of what I find does not fit standard mats and frames. I've struggled mightily to avoid the expense of custom framing, even down to cutting my own mats, which are exactly as ragged-looking as you are probably imagining right now. I thought I would have to do the same today but this location of Cheap Pete's came through in spades. Prequel: Buried behind a bunch of dusty junk in a shop in SoCal earlier this week, I found a thick paper sheet with cut-out pieces for a model of the S.S. Normandie. I only paid a buck for it so I didn't want to blow too much on matting and framing. Also, even though it looks old and probably is, I'm certain it's a reissue and not one of the originals from the 30s. Still, it's something I felt deserved to be framed and displayed. But, it's a funky size with inconsistent margins. I happened to be in the North Bay today and this Cheap Pete's came up in my Yelp search. I stopped by and within a couple of minutes a very nice young lady came over to help me. She efficiently took over because I looked pretty darn lost. She knew what I wanted better than I did, steering me away from frames and mats that were more expensive than what I needed. She did a few test runs and switcheroos, whittling down my cost to the minimum I would need to achieve my framing goal. What impressed me most about my time in the store was that I felt like I was getting service that was just as good as another customer who was custom-framing a valuable and very pricey print. Her total came to almost $300 while mine was a measly $50 plus tax, but never was I made to feel that my one-buck piece of non-art was less important. Bonus: Mat cut on the spot! I had no idea this was a thing, anywhere. For those of us who thrive on instant gratification, this cannot be underrated. If you do stop in, look for the dark-haired girl with the facial piercings. I'm sure you'll get good service from anyone there, but she made my experience so great that I wanted to call her out specifically. If she reads this, thanks, nice young lady!

    Super helpful staff. Great recommendations for my painting frame. Large format canvas and we had lots of question.

    Then I asked an artist friend where to get them framed and matted and she told me about Cheap Pete's in San Rafael.
