We're a real workshop in Fort Lauderdale. These are the plain-English notes we share there — useful whether you ever walk in or not.

Framed work hung in a bright Fort Lauderdale living room.

Worth knowing

A few craft notes.

What “archival” actually means

Acid-free mats and backing so the paper doesn't yellow from contact. UV glass so sunlight doesn't cook the ink. Reversible mounting so the piece can leave the frame someday. That's the whole idea.

Shadow boxes need depth on purpose

Collars, medals, folded jerseys — they have thickness. A flat frame flattens the story. We build the depth to the object, not to a stock size.

Bring the wall photo

A picture of the wall (and the sofa under it) answers half the design questions before you say a word. Color, scale, light — all in one shot from your phone.

Keep going

More without the pitch.

When you're ready

No rush.

If something at home deserves a closer look someday, walk in with it — or send a photo. A framer will design with you. Until then, the tips are free.
