Liz’s custom framing tip of the day: The DIY Discount

I’ve been noticing a resurgence in the popularly of metal frames. The modern metal frame is budget-friendly shopper’s new best friend.  Here’s why, in just three words:
  • Stylish: It’s head and shoulders above the dust-gathering flimsy gold frames of the 70’s sitting in your basement.
  • Adaptable: Available in dizzying array of fresh, vibrant colours and profiles, you’ll be able to mix and match it to any of your favorite pieces.
  • Handy: It's something you can assemble at home yourself with nothing more complicated than a flathead screwdriver!
So, how does this help you save a few bucks at the cash?

Getting wooden frames assembled requires specialized wood glues, clamping equipment and a keen eye to align corners just right. Metal frames just need a bit of elbow grease.

Ask us for our “DIY Discount” when you buy your metal frames. We’ll be happy to provide you your frame along with custom-cut glass, mats, and backings.  Finishing the frame assembly at home is a matter of minutes!
