We have been quiet posting, but still busy in the shop preserving memories, repairing projects and getting artists ready for shows.

We recently had the absolute privilege of framing this stunning shadowbox to honor our client’s grandfather and his incredible military service. Every carefully arranged piece—from the historic photographs and medals to the uniform belt—tells a profound story of bravery and heritage. Preservation is at the heart of what we do, and we specialize in displaying memorabilia so that your family’s most cherished history can be safely protected and proudly showcased for generations to come.

💬 Do you have military medals, vintage uniforms, or family heirlooms tucked away in a drawer? Let’s bring them into the light. Send us a DM or visit the shop to chat about creating your own custom display!

We loved custom-framing this stunning, luminous piece by talented oil painter Jan Little. Jan’s incredible style beautifully captures the magic of wildlife, combining rich texture and dramatic, sun-dappled lighting to bring this little creature to life. 🦉

Our client wanted an organic frame to match her home decor, so we paired the painting with a deep natural walnut. The earthy wood grounds the vibrant, glowing green foliage, giving the entire piece a cozy, intentional vibe.

How to elevate custom pet art with premium picture framing. 🐶

We are absolutely in love with this custom pet portrait commission drawn by the incredibly talented Jack Glazier.

To protect the incredible colored pencil details and textures, we paired it with a modern, minimalist warm dark grey frame. We then added AR 70 anti-reflective glass. This specialized 70% UV-protective glass cuts reflections entirely, allowing you to see every fine detail without glare.

Looking for quality custom framing in classic black, white, grey, or want to add a splash of colour to your space? Our Purity Line frame collection has options for every style.

How to frame a signed McDavid jersey the RIGHT way... 🏒🔥

An incredible piece of Edmonton Oilers memorabilia ready for the ultimate hockey fan cave! 🐋🧡

A perfect sports jersey framing project for a signed Connor McDavid rookie jersey. When it comes to hockey jersey custom framing, ex*****on is everything. Every jersey I handle is meticulously tailored and stretched to prevent sagging over time—because a saggy jersey ruins the display. To build the ultimate showcase, the client incorporated an action photo, two signed Connor McDavid rookie cards, and a custom-engraved plaque set into a team-colored double mat board.

I just love a satisfying transformation!

This special piece holds sentimental meaning to our client, but water damage and a warped cardboard backing were threatening its survival. We stepped in to give it the ultimate art restoration and custom framing treatment it deserved.

Here is how we saved it:
🔹 Safely removed the canvas from the water-damaged backing
🔹 Cleaned off the old glue and residue
🔹 Remounted the piece onto a new, rigid support panel
🔹 Added support bars to prevent future warping
🔹 Finished with meticulous paint touch-ups and a protective varnish coat
🔹 Restored and refreshed the original frame to match

No more unsightly warping or decay. It looks so vibrant, you would almost think it was painted yesterday!

Another piece rescued and brought back to life.

My work here is done! ✨

From a “Pie In The Sky” dream to a world-class motorsports park. 🌌 We love working on custom picture framing projects that tell a story, like these track day photos from Area 27.

For this custom sports memorabilia framing project, we designed a sleek look using a premium black blue-core mat with a custom v-groove. This perfectly matches the corporate brand identity and logo. To add depth, we layered an existing white mat board underneath to create elegant merging bevels. We finished the piece with a personalized custom plaque to add to the matting, a modern black gallery frame and AR70 anti-reflective glass for a crystal-clear, glare-free viewing experience. 🏎️💨

✨ Delighted to frame another masterpiece by the renowned Michael Nicoll Yahgulanaas!

As a pioneer who bridges cultural spaces, Yahgulanaas is famous for his innovative “Haida Manga” style. This approach beautifully pairs traditional North Pacific iconography with the bold, sequential energy of contemporary comic culture. Every stroke of ink and wash of watercolor tells a dynamic story of transformation and continuity.🛠️

Framing Details:
Matting: A clean black-core mat to punctuate and echo the bold linework.
Frame: A readymade Iron Ferrosa moulding with a soft, metallic finish and hammered texture that highlights the artist’s subtle shading.

The final result lets those rich, vibrant tones absolutely pop! 🎨

A custom framing transformation decades in the making. 🖼️✨

Our client brought in this stunning, oversized artwork trimmed in traditional silk all the way from his travels to Japan back in the day. 🇯🇵✈️

To perfectly match their home’s simplistic mid century modern decor, we designed a classy, minimalist look with clean, modern lines. We selected a rich Mahogany picture frame that beautifully picks up the warm tones in the artwork’s horses, adding that exact regal, sophisticated look they were searching for. 🐎💼

To ensure the vibrant colors and delicate silk texture can be enjoyed from every angle without distracting glare, we finished the piece with Artglass AR 70 anti-reflective glass. It offers crystal-clear clarity and UV protection so our clients can thoroughly enjoy their artwork.

From travel souvenirs to fine art, we specialize in high-quality custom framing that preserves your memories and elevates your interior design.

What treasures do you have tucked away from your travels? Bring them out of storage and let’s create something beautiful for your walls!

🎨 Experiencing the brilliant work of contemporary Haida-Canadian master artist Michael Nicoll Yahgulanaas. Known as the pioneer of “Haida Manga,” Yahgulanaas beautifully blends traditional Indigenous formline iconography with the dynamic movement of contemporary graphic culture. This stunning watercolor and ink piece captures his signature style—fluid lines, bold colors, and shifting perspectives that prompt you to look a little closer and see the story change. Absolutely captivated by this vision! ✨

This vibrant West Coast art piece was framed in a black-core mat to echo the illustration details in the drawing. A readymade Iron Ferrosa frame resembling hammered metal with a soft metallic tone brings out the shading perfectly, allowing those rich colors to stand out. It is a striking vision of contemporary indigenous art!
