Located on Port Rd at Hindmarsh for several years now, this is truly a budget picture framers plus…read moretheir service is quick and factory direct prices to the public. There's a large range of frames and matting boards to choose from and if your arty crafty yourself, this place has the cheapest matting board and offcuts I could find anywhere. Pieces vary in size and a good mid range offcut can cost as little as fifty cents, I stocked up on several. Ready framed prints are also available plus they supply picture framing equipment like matt board cutters, descent size rubber backed rules for grip, stanley knives, etc. If it's not too far out of your way it's definitely worth getting a quote.

Dimond's is a little shop in the Adelaide Arcade that I used to miss when I walked past. Finally…read morenoticing it, I was really impressed by its range of black and white framed photography prints up on the walls. The have photos of Adelaide in its early days, as well as some beautiful shots of iconic European cities. The sizes and prices of the prints make them very accessible, and easy to fit onto a wall without having to make it a huge feature. I also like their framed Gustav Klimt prints, which are also a good size and would make a great gift. The framing is done elsewhere, so the rest of the shop is filled with decorative statues and vases and other home decor. Their style is quite eclectic, and I see something different in the window whenever I pass. Some of it I like, though some seems a little out of place. Most of it is very modern, in contrast to the classical look of the photography. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Their work is good quality, and it's nice knowing that a local business is taking care of your framing and will be accountable for the job.

Renato Campana or his brother Tony will look after you at Diamond's. If you are looking for that…read morespecial gift, they will take time to show you whatever they think suits your brief; and if it is a picture frame you are seeking, they will really take interest. They do the framing, they know their stuff and they like to be as helpful as possible. It's a family affair and they don't mess about. Obviously it is not something you can find so easily around the city - a good picture framing business - quite often these types of enterprises are out in obscure spots in the suburbs; and yes that does mean the price is slightly higher than elsewhere because they are paying top dollar for rent, but they compensate by being good at customer service. The store is average size, but filled with items that are a little different from what you are likely to find elsewhere and they take a considerable amount of pride in their stock. The mainstay of the business is the picture framing, and the prints they have available are sourced from all over the place, so you may be quick to find something good here. Don't hesitate to give them a call if you want to find out more, they really are the most delightful chaps and will do what they can to help.

This store is mental. What is it? Where did it come from? Why?…read more I have actually never heard of this chain before, but apparently it is all the buzz overseas. There are a crazy amount of stores all over asia and now they are branching overseas. It has Chinese origin and is jam packed full of stuff. Yes, stuff. Lot's of stuff. I don't know where to begin? Stationary, mugs, slippers, bags, pillows, toys, scented sticks, jars, things... things.. and some stuff. There is also a whole section devoted to gigantic toys. You know the ones that you see at the Royal Show for prizes when you win alley games. Those ones. I think if you are looking for cool little jars and storage containers you might like a few things here. But, otherwise just be prepared to be overwhelmed with things. Actually, I know who will love this store. High school students. This is a store for kids that want cute little toys to hang off their school bags, cool stationary and shiny objects to decorate their rooms. Don't get me wrong, there are some cute things here. Like a whole lot of cute stationary items. Loved the note pads and pens. But then I saw a flower bouquet of rabbits and teddy bears. I mean, who wants that? But, in all honesty, you should probably go have a look. It's not like any other store in Adelaide.
