I have used Contessa for over a decade now. They are the best game in town for black frames and white mats, but they are also super for just about everything else frame-wise. They have framed dozens of prints, etc. for me and I am constantly amazed at how good everything looks and at the reasonable price.
I am what you might call a "frequent framer" and they have never let me down. PLUS! They are nice as hell and very patient with me and fast. I recommend them to everyone. -

Contessa has been my go-to framing shop for years. Often a fraction of the cost as the other places in town with quality equal to, or surpassing, the others.

"Don't forget the golf joke, Chris," reminds Alex as I walk out with newly framed wall art.
"Okay!" I reply. Wondering what the hell WAS that golf joke he JUST told me. Not so good on the joke memory thing. But I do remember the wonderful creations they come up with when presented with a print, painting or objet 'd art. (They framed an antique purse for me once.)
Contessa has framed art, photos and wall decor for me since before dirt was born. Today, I picked up some handsomely framed magazine covers for a library. I love the way they turned out--simple and sleek. The materials and craftsmanship at this frame shop seem always to be superior (and less expensive) to other options in Austin.
And the cool thing about going here for framing needs, you can see what UT Coach Mack Brown is having framed or Governor Perry. Not that I remember what I just saw. But whenever I'm there, it is a blast. Especially if Papa Alex is present. Love that guy.Listed in: Remodel, Redesign and Renew
