My husband's grandma is an artist, and I'd like to frame the picture she made us for our wedding. Someday! My friend bought a Texas state flag and had it professionally framed. Except the framers put the flag in upside down! "True Texans" could spot it, and it was a conversation starter. :)Beth @ Free Stylin'https://www.blogger.com/profile/05681706136760889320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8944273077019168833.post-20438427548631799672012-04-11T11:24:49.098-06:002012-04-11T11:24:49.098-06:00There is a family owned frame shop close by to whe...There is a family owned frame shop close by to where I live and they do a fabulous job. It is expensive, but they really take the time to help you get the right frame and matting. In the past I have regretted spending too much on some items for the house, but I can honestly say that my professional framed pictures are not one of them. <br /><br />JuliaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8944273077019168833.post-71922514523660420832012-04-11T09:16:38.789-06:002012-04-11T09:16:38.789-06:00Two years ago I had a antique map of Sweden framed...Two years ago I had a antique map of Sweden framed at Michaels (with a coupon) and it still turned out to cost >$300. Last year that frame started warping and it looks like veneer on the wood is starting to pull up. Very unhappy with it, but don't want to pay to replace it just yet.Katherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12457460127674234905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8944273077019168833.post-35139476296513802352012-04-11T08:08:00.183-06:002012-04-11T08:08:00.183-06:00I could never figure out why having something fram...I could never figure out why having something framed is sooooo expensive. And if you go to one of the "chain" stores with a coupon, it is still ridiculously high. Do they mark it up only to discount it with the coupon? There used to be places around that you could go and frame your own, they would show you how to use the equipment and you did all the work. I don't know if they still exist, but it was a better deal. I agree with you that sometimes you just need to have it professionally done, but boy does it hurt the wallet.Kimnoreply@blogger.com
