Mark and his team have done a brilliant job of framing the paintings in our house. We have brought…read morein paintings in old frames that often look tired and outdated. The team cheerfully and patiently works with us in choosing new frames and mats that bring our art back to life. They provide acid free matting but also be sure to ask for museum glass! The framing we have had done here has brought us much happiness over the years.

I dropped in at Design Frames with a set of four prints (no appointment needed) and came away so…read morehappy to have found a framing workshop locally where everyone is so attentive, expert, dedicated, and helpful. I greatly enjoyed working with Kaily, a framer with technical expertise and terrific aesthetic sensibility. With Kaily's assistance I was able to compare frame styles and materials, mat colors and combinations, glass choices and sealing techniques. Kaily offered great suggestions that really moved us along from discussing my vague ideas to making decisions that moved the project steadily closer to the attractive and thoughtfully framed pieces I hoped for. I never felt rushed. I felt very welcome in the studio shop. The staff (owner and associates) worked as a team to bring the project together. My artworks are beautifully framed using quality materials that enhance and protect the pieces. The framing materials and style coordinate with my living room decor in a harmonious way. The process was creative and exciting, and I'm truly delighted with the finished set of framed prints. Sincere thanks to all at Design Frames!

The new shop is smaller and more cozy than the old space. As of mid-2021, it seems like the store is still in the process of becoming homey and curated the way the old one was. But they still had exactly what I came in for--chalk paint. The wood block swatches and the chalk painted furniture in the store makes this a great place to find what you're looking for. I'm also a fan of the cards and paper products here. There always seems to be a little something that catches my eye. Stylish Patina is a great store for the DIY lover or the person looking for unique home decor and gifts.

We were rudely informed by the owner that all design services end sharply at three o'clock (we had arrived shortly after 3). There was no such warning on the website. He also chastised us for presuming to keep him from leaving the store at precisely four o'clock. We were so taken aback we didn't know what to do. It was an extremely awkward experience. We promptly found another frame shop in the area and started packing up to leave. There are MANY competitors, and who wants drama when they're just trying to get some framing done? Perhaps realizing his mistake, he came out and made a production about now agreeing to stay past four o'clock. I'm not in the business of trying to plead with a business owner to take my money. We made an excuse of not wanting framing that was so costly (we did) and promptly left. Hopefully, they have good quality work. I just couldn't speak to it as the place just didn't want our business.

I brought in one small photo (8.5"x11") and one large photo (16.5"x23.3") and had a great time mixing and matching the frame and mat options with Bill. He had some very creative ideas and is clearly very passionate about his work and takes great pride in it. If you tell him the price range you're trying to stay under, he won't pressure you out of it but will work with you to find the perfect fit. Once we settled on the frames and mats, Bill was very upfront that the wait time would be a bit since he was working as a one-man show at the time. Thankfully, I was in no rush to get my pieces back so I told him to take his time. It took just over a month, and Bill called as soon as they were ready. The pieces came out beautifully, and I will absolutely use Art and Framing Plus again and recommend them to others.
