Comments (5)I'm so very glad that you brought this up. Someone here suggested that I lighten my frame (art over sofa). The only think I have found so far (& have not yet tried it) is 'Inka Gold'. Is it funny (ironic?) that everyone wanted to cover up their gold or brass with paint, and now we want to paint things gold? I have tons more questions on how to do mine, but won't highjack your post. If you do something, can you please post before & after pics, and tell us what you used? Here is a link that might be useful: Inka Gold site with video...See MoreQuite A Difference In Picture Framing Shop Prices
Comments (3)Yes, Michaels is national, and IMO they're a big ripoff. They run "50% off framing" coupons so often that they jack up their regular prices in order to accomodate that reduction - with the coupon their prices are usually comparable to independent frame shops and their quality is often inferior. Good call to go somewhere else. For future reference... If you're up to reassembling a picture yourself (easy once you get the hang of how it goes together), you can take the frame to a glass shop and have a piece of glass cut to fit it. It is MUCH cheaper to buy glass this way than it is to get it at a frame shop where it is marked up, often by a great deal. I once took a picture (approximately 20x30) to a frame shop to purchase new glass after it got knocked off the wall, and the framer wanted $40 for the glass alone. I had already disassembled it to get the broken glass bits out of the edges of the frame so I was just lugging around the frame. On the way home I passed a glass shop and on impulse stopped in. They had the exact same glass in stock, cut a piece while I waited and charged me closer to $15. I frame in acrylic - aka plexiglass - nowadays for weight and safety, especially for large pieces....See MoreArranging 4 equally sized picture frames of different colours
Comments (1)Cut paper or cardboard the size of the frames and test them out on the wall in the arrangements you are considering. Vertical, row or grid are probably ‘cleaner ‘ and more modern arrangements, but it ultimately depends on how it looks. If you do go with grid, they should be spaced more closely than shown in the photograph so they ‘read’ as one object. My personal preference is to use images that mean something to me, whether prints or photos, but that’s entirely up to you. Black and white photos, close ups of flowers, different cities, doors,..browse the art sites for ideas. Have some fun, and good luck!...See Moreladynimue
