Wonderful service. I would recommend friends and family here. I felt like family there, which is not something I expected from a Frame shop. This was the first professional family I had ever had done, and I appreciated all the help. Thank you!

Well, what a wonderful compliment and I appreciate your taking a minute to put this online. We take every person as they come and love what we do.
Thank you so much for being family. :}. Tad. - Mar 17, 2022
I had to take a day to enjoy and soak in all the positive feelings I had (and still have) regarding my experience here before writing this review. I took my Vietnamese embroidery painting in for a consultation and I am so glad that I did and didn't order a frame online, which was what I was initially going to do. I knew I wanted a simple frame and mat since the painting was already pretty busy and colorful.
When I entered the shop, I met Tad who presented various options to me and if you know, you know that framing can easily add up depending on what you choose. For each step, Tad turned to his computer to calculate the cost, which I appreciated. Yes, I ended up paying more than I would've if I purchased a standard frame and mat online, but it was well worth it! Since my painting had been rolled up for a few years and there were some loose threads, Tad took care of stretching the photo and tucking/snipping any loose threads.
After 2 weeks, it was completed. And it is gorgeous and honestly, it looks newer and better than when I first fell in love with it on my trip to Vietnam. Tad has great taste, was not pushy and is so kind. When I was about to leave the shop, he noticed there was a questionable person loitering outside the building and Tad offered to walk with me, carrying my painting to my destination.
Thank you so much, Tad. I can't recommend this place enough.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0Business owner information

My dear Rosa,
It was a complete pleasure designing and working together to create just the right things to enhance your embroidery. Im thrilled that you love it as that is always the goal: that you love what you look at every day. Thank you for the review and beautiful words.

Don't think twice! I am amazed at the fast, excellent service I received. I had what I thought was going to be a tricky item. It was an arched mirror with doors from Spain that was held together with only a fabric backing, which had come unglued. Tad knew exactly how to fix it and he did it right there on the spot, and fixed it in such a way that we would never have to worry about the mirror falling out again. This is the place to go to for any framing issues!

Tad and the team recently finished framing a giant piece (35" h x 79" w), and they provided beautiful custom options that worked for my budget, The finished piece is beautiful, and they were a pleasure to work with. Use these guys!

Alex! Thank you for the wonderful words and it was a pleasure designing the right frame for you. The Lino cut was exquisite. The hand built frame by NW Frameworks was perfect for it.
Until next time, cheers!

Wonderful, attentive service in a beautiful, artistic shop.
I had the pleasure of having a mat opened up here. The framer (I believe her name was Emily) was friendly and knowledgeable, and took care of me right away. Not only did she do a great job cutting the mat, she helped me out afterwards by replacing the hanging hardware of my frame :)
While she was working on the mat, it was fun to peruse the other offerings of the shop. It features a lovely selection of wool accessories from around the world, pottery, handmade cards, and more. A great place to stop in a buy a gift, if you're in the neighborhood!
I'll certainly be back for my next framing project.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

They did an AMAZING job framing a birth announcement for a friend. They stretched the fabric and picked the perfect complimentary colors for the framing and matting. My project was finished in just a few days and I am so happy with it! The staff were super friendly and helpful. Pricing was very reasonable as well! Highly recommend.

Amazing experience. Very OG Portland/Portlandia. And extremely friendly & well educated staff!
I walked into the store just looking for some wire and screws to hang a painting I had just bought. The ladies were very nice and and offered to do it for me... When I went to pay, they insisted it was on the house, and to just recommend them to my friends for their framing needs! Being new to the area, they also gave me some really great recs for other small/local biz to check out around Pdx.
Tl;dr - THESE LOVELY LADIES DESERVE YOUR BUSINESS!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information
