    Perfect place for gifts and cards. Or just something to do when your bored in quarantine. They have great art supplies, coloring supplies, candles, pens, stickers anything you can imagine related to art or gifts. I even compared some of the prices for gift items to Amazon and they were similar in price if not the same. Usually in small on businesses like these everything cost quite a bit more. I come here every holiday to buy a card to send and usually end up picking up some knickknacks as well.

    The current version, with the darker new print glued over the top of where the damaged print was removed.

    In March I took in a large collaged photography piece to get a custom frame. It was easy to talk through and get advise on the most budget-conscious options. I was very happy when I picked up the final product. A few months later, one of the screws holding the wire in the back of the frame randomly pulled loose and the frame fell. The frame itself didn't look damaged and, being such a large piece and a bit of a long drive to the shop, I just screwed the wire back into a different spot and rehung it. A few months after that, the screw pulled out again and the frame fell, this time causing the bottom edge to start coming away from the frame. I brought it back into the shop and they agreed to reframe the piece with no additional charge. When I came to pick up the reframed piece, two of the pictures in the collage had glaring orange smudges. The photos were all black and white, so it was very obvious. When I pointed it out, multiple employees told me that it had been there when I brought it in and they thought it was part of the picture. I was shocked and frustrated by the gaslighting of being told the pictures in this piece that I had created ten years ago (but only recently gotten framed) and looked at every day had always been this way. They suggested it looked like a reflection or a campfire. No. I came back a few days later to talk with the manager. Luckily, when I first brought the framed piece home in March, I proudly took a picture and posted it on Facebook. I was able to see that the portion with orange smudges had NOT been there originally. When starting the conversation with the manager, she told me the smudges looked like part of the picture. I showed her the photo I had taken of the original framing and she was understandably baffled. She told me that nothing they do at the shop would cause this to happen. I couldn't explain it either, but this was not the condition of my art work when I brought it in. I ended up having to go to one of the only shops in Seattle that still print black and white film (Moonphoto in Ballard) and have the two pictures with smudges reprinted. When I emailed the manager and explained the cost as well as the many many extra trips I had to make to the shop in West Seattle from my home in Kent (because I thought this was a reputable place to go), she offered to refund me the cost of the reprinted pictures. She also, again, told me that their shop had not damaged the original pictures. Even after photo proof that my art piece didn't look like that before. I was livid, hence this long review. I took the new prints in and they replaced the damaged ones. The new prints don't really match (because the original place I went to develop them ten years ago isn't in business anymore) and were glued to the top instead of layered in like they had been originally. I couldn't argue anymore and didn't trust them to make it right anyway, so I took it home. It's the kind of thing where other people may or may not notice, but I will always see it and it will be a constant reminder of this experience. Trips from Kent to West Seattle because of damage to the frame and photos that were not my fault: 4 extra trips, 38 miles round trip, 152 miles traveled and 4+ hours of my time. Trips from Kent to Ballard for reprinting the photos: 2 trips, 54 miles round trip, 108 miles traveled and 2+ hours of my time. Plus, if it falls off the wall again, I can't take it back to this place because I'm afraid they will ruin more of the photos. So I will have to pay out of pocket somewhere else. I love the shop, but I will never get something framed here again. My personal one of a kind art piece is messed up now. I will have to make a whole new one for it to be right. And they never took responsibility for what happened because they couldn't explain it, even though I had photo evidence of the original. Edit in response to the owner: There is picture evidence here of the original in March - no spots. When I brought it back to your shop, it was exactly the same, paper still glued to the back. The fact that you and your staff are trying to gaslight me into believing those spots were already there just because you can't explain what happened is intensely frustrating. After ten years of hanging unframed, those spots didn't just appear out of nowhere in the last seven months since being framed. The piece was in good condition when I dropped it off and something happened while in your care. I realize it wasn't intentional and no one knows exactly what happened, but that doesn't mean it isn't your responsibility.

    Awesome sauce.

    Don't be fooled by the name of this store. A little less than half of it is related to the store name while the rest may be called Weird & Witty Stuff Artists Like. This is a really great art supply store if you paint or make cards. There is a decent selection of professional paints, brushes, canvases, and painting instruction books. There is a small assortment of beautiful, handmade papers in vibrant colors. The rest of their art supplies are kits for children to make jewelry and the like, a couple Buddha boards, some ink & pencil. They do custom framing, but I haven't used that service with them. They offer some art for sale in a very limited supply that look like they are multiple copies in the beach, local or tourist themes, with nothing original. The other side of the store, and still part of the art selection side, is a shop that isn't art or framing related but rather delves into a retail space for the artist type. It includes odd & interesting non-fiction books like photography of small toys and humor telling one how to be a man, journals & calendars featuring Star Wars and birds, lovely cards with barbed statements, magnets featuring pics of '60's housewives asking for another drink, and socks in bright, cheerful colors & patterns with antagonistic sayings. They also have a shelf where they sell goods from Archie McPhee. In the front of the store, they have it stocked right now with traditional Christmas goods such as candles, party poppers and linens. I thoroughly enjoy visiting NW. I buy art supplies here, books that are in my humor zone, and a stellar, glittery wall calendar with birds & gardens for a gift. I know I'll be back. The parking in the area is terrible. There's street parking but it's always full. There are pay lots nearby.

    ... has so many items for just about anything project minded, other nifty stuff, plus they do knockout work on their frames. Today I picked up some felt and Sobo premium craft and fabric glue to felt my cork coasters! Yay!!

    I've purchased many frames from NW Art and Frames in the last few years, and they've always been happy to help me find the perfect fit for my needs.

I called the shop earlier in the day to ask if they would accept a half down payment for the total cost of the frame job because most frame shops will work with you on that and this was the only way I could afford it. The guy I spoke to told me they had stopped doing it due to customers never showing up to pick up their framed items, but could potentially work with me as long as I made the full payment BEFORE picking it up which I was more than happy to do. I showed up in person later with my poster to go over the matting, frame choices etc. and it was a different guy who I didn't speak to over the phone. When I got my quote at the end, I was told they would not accept any down payment and needed the full payment before cutting the frames. While I understand the reason for this and that they want customers to commit to paying them, I wish they had some clarification on their website and/or I didn't get mixed information when I spoke to the man on the phone because I feel like it was a waste of my time to come in and go through choosing the matting/poster frame. Nonetheless the framing jobs are beautiful but not a fan of the mixed customer service I received, would have been happy to give them my business if they offered down payments.

I received a pair of beautiful oil paintings as a gift from the artist. They arrived rolled up in a tube, and I spent a lot of time shopping around Seattle for a good way to preserve and display them. I checked out 7 shops here in the north/central part of Seattle. None were bad, but this place stood out for a few reasons: 1) SF&MG was more thorough than other places about discussing all of my options in different price ranges, and was patient and honest explaining things I didn't know about custom framing. 2) The frame suggestions were excellent. Peter's sharp eye, and perhaps SF&MG's inventory, produced a design that was unrivaled by any other shops. The scheme he suggested complimented my unusual paintings beautifully, and was impossible to recreate -- much less improve upon -- with other vendors. 3) Most of these places guarantee their prices, but SF&MG underbid their competitors (for standard stuff like getting the canvas onto the stretcher board) without even having to be told what their competitors quoted. 4) I'm really happy with the workmanship. The paintings look great, though of course I can't compare this to the shops I didn't choose... So, I have only one data point but so far so good with Simply Frames & Miner Gallery.
