The FrameSmith

Sometimes the most interesting designs come from thinking outside the frame.

Literally.

For this beautiful landscape canvas, we created a custom frame for the artwork and then floated the entire piece inside a second frame, adding depth, dimension, and a truly one-of-a-kind presentation.

The result feels elegant, architectural, and perfectly at home in its new space.

Custom framing isn't just about protecting artwork. It's about creating something uniquely yours.

Dream big dreams. ✨

This charming canvas captures a moment that's familiar to so many dancers, artists, musicians, and dreamers—the quiet practice, the determination, and the imagination that turns possibility into reality.

To complement the artwork, we paired a floating frame with a beautifully detailed outer frame, creating a finished piece that feels both elegant and timeless.

Because every big dream starts with a small step.

Good framing is a little like matchmaking.

This artwork had beautiful color, movement, and energy. Our job was to find the frame that brought out those qualities without stealing the spotlight.

A textured white frame stacked on a blue one were the perfect match—enhancing the artwork while letting those vibrant colors remain center stage.

When the design comes together, it just feels right.

One person's splash of paint is another person's masterpiece.

What we love about abstract art is that every viewer brings their own perspective. Some see waves. Some see clouds. Some see movement, emotion, or memory.

For this piece, we chose a gold floating frame that enhances the artwork without defining it—allowing the canvas to speak for itself.

What do you see?

Some framing projects make a splash.

This dramatic ocean canvas features incredible color, movement, and texture. We paired it with a custom frame to enhance the artwork without competing with it—because the waves already know how to command attention.

The result is timeless, elegant, and shore to make a statement.

Butterflies are often seen as symbols of transformation, growth, and new beginnings.

For this canvas artwork, we paired the vibrant blues of the painting with a soft silver floating frame that enhances the artwork while allowing it to remain the focal point.

The right frame doesn't change the art—it helps it become everything it was meant to be.

We love how this one turned out.

Not every framing project starts with a piece of art.

Sometimes it starts with a collection.

These vintage Skookum dolls came to us with decades of history and incredible handcrafted details. By creating custom shadowboxes, we were able to protect the dolls while transforming them into striking display pieces.

One of our favorite parts of this job is helping clients enjoy the treasures they've collected instead of keeping them packed away.

Have something unique you're not sure how to display? We love a challenge.

Every stitch tells a story.

This beautifully embroidered wildflower piece is filled with texture, detail, and the kind of craftsmanship that can only come from something made by hand.

To complement the warmth of the thread colors, we selected a frame with subtle texture and rich earthy tones, allowing the embroidery to remain the star of the show.

Handmade art deserves thoughtful presentation.

Art has a way of transporting us.

The calm water.
The mountain backdrop.
The quiet reflection of boats in the harbor.

For this beautiful canvas painting, we chose a floating frame that enhances the artwork without distracting from it, creating a finished piece that's ready to become part of the home's story.

The right frame shouldn't steal the spotlight.

It should help the artwork shine.

This is why we love what we do.

A client brought us a quilt handmade by her grandmother decades ago. It had been carefully saved over the years, but time had taken its toll and parts of it were damaged.

Together, we found a way to preserve what remained and turn it into something that can be seen, appreciated, and shared with future generations.

Not everything we frame is valuable because of what it's worth.

Sometimes it's valuable because of who made it. 💜
