Splurge on Custom Framing

Sally’s walls are filled with a humble collection of artwork, almost all done by close friends and family members. To elevate the look, she took the pieces to her local framer for custom frames in varying finishes, from gilt gold to polished chrome. “Every piece has a special meaning to me,” says Sally. “So the frames not only look good, but they’ll help preserve the art, too.”
