A field trip to the Big Apple for a rendezvous with some old friends, plus the added excitement of time spent with new friends, equals priceless! Congratulations to Rob Katkowski for a lovely art opening at Manhattan’s J Pocker, and a special thanks to all of you who contributed in making our time there worthwhile! We’re beyond inspired! #robkatkowski #jpocker #dgvectors #zielloinc #rhondafeinmanframes

Stoked to be so pink pink pink! Here's a bunch of pics to show off as much of the effect as possible :) I think Andy would feel good about this one too. 💕👠👢👡💓 - - #theframesmith #framesmith #customframing #closedcornerframes #andywarhol

Very excited to put our Tugboat rose on the wall! This frame absolutely glows, and the print gives us a little spark of hope every time we catch a glimpse. The framed print is up for sale! And while you're here, stop by Arravsite for a coffee! - - - #theframesmith #customframing #framedesign #tugboatprintshop #spark_frames

Not to be that guy but @ajoyframing really puts the joy in framing. These frames can brighten up any dreary Pittsburgh day, and especially so when they house these darling Katherine Streeter collages. We're also jazzed to have some new samples from AJoy- stop on in to check them out. - - - #theframesmith #customframing #pittsburghframing

Oooohhhhh yeah, he can do anything! Rob's rounded corner frames are looking so so good. Here's a big ol walnut, with maple splines, on a gorgeous antique map. - - - #customframing #pittsburghframing #theframesmith #closedcornerframes #walnut

This is one of those projects where I'm kicking myself for not having a 'before' photo. Probably the biggest needlepoint we've worked with in a while (ever?). And boy was it skewed! Because of the fragility of the fabric and some pre-existing holes and mends, we were originally going to accept it as a diamond shape and frame it as it was. But after a few days of deliberating, we put two blocking boards together and slowly started blocking. It took a few days of gentle stretching, but we got it to straighten out in the end! This was a customer's life work, a piece they had worked on for decades- and many a story held in the stitches. A beautiful cherry frame and museum quality acrylic will now house this treasure for many generations to come. We're very thankful for the trust and patience of everyone who leaves their work in our care. 💃 - - - #theframesmith #needlepoint #customframing #pittsburghframing #textileart

Well ain't that just whimsical as heck?? We knew this James Christensen print needed a frame to match its creative caliber. @ajoyframing delivered just the thing we wanted! There's still time to get your holiday framing needs fulfilled- stop in as soon as possible to brighten up your home for the dreary winter months! - - - #customframing #theframesmith #customframedesign #pittsburghframing #jameschristensen

Super cool frame alert! We wanted something colorful and fun for this Sufjan poster, and when our eyes fell on this pink lemonade colored acrylic frame we were sold! Come in and see all the color combinations these frames can become 🎭💐 - - - - #theframesmith #framesmith #customframing #sufjanstevens #illinoise #closedcornerframes

Ohhhh MAN we love to see a Mark Maggiori! We double love putting a Maggiori in a stunning silky smooth birds eye maple from Rob 💃 The birds eye maple pattern beautifully accents the exquisite detail of the Western skies. We also used optium museum acrylic to cut down on the weight of the frame, and ensure the piece a happy UV free, shatter proof home. - - - #framesmith #theframesmith #markmaggiori #customframing #pittsburghframing #birdseyemaple
