A good or bad frame can often make or break a great picture

In Record Numbers

People are taking more pictures now than ever before in human history (this is one of those facts that it’s impossible to get a number on, but we all know it’s true). It seems like every second of every day, someone is taking out their phone to crystallize a moment forever, and although not every picture taken is an out and out gem to be remembered forever, some are. For those special pictures, you want a special frame to accentuate its importance. While going to Target (or Tar-jay as we pretend the French say it) is all fine and dandy from time to time, sometimes you want something exceptional, something that pops. When that need arises, you go to one of the custom frame shops in Buffalo Niagara that are run by many great artisans in their own right. So, what do you say? Ready to find the perfect frame for the perfect picture?

Every Picture is Unique

You’ve got a picture you absolutely adore. Perhaps it’s a family portrait for Christmas, or maybe it’s the first picture with your newborn son or daughter. Whatever it is, every picture is unique. For those unique family photos that are bound to be loved and cherished for your whole life, you want a unique frame to complement it. That’s where the experts at Main Frame come in. Main Frame has been around since 1988 and over the years has garnered extensive knowledge on everything to do with framing. What once was the facility for Vern Stein Art and Frame has since grown to over 6,000 square feet that includes in-stock molding inventory and an on-site custom framing operation that can service any need. With over 40 years of experience, their specialists have the means to do it all from high volume custom frames of any design (in case you want to send to everyone in the family over Christmas, although the shipping is bound to be pretty hectic) to personalized frames tailor-made to your specifications. We all have special pieces in our lives that we hold dear, and when not just any run-of-the-mill frame will do, you go to Main Frame to give that cherished picture the frame it deserves.

Buffalo Picture Frame & Mirror

You have everything ready. You’ve got a picture you love and some good concrete ideas on what you want the frame to be. You go to a picture frame store that you saw decent ratings on Yelp for and decided to just go for it. Yet upon getting to the counter and describing your specifications to the person at the desk, you realize that that person doesn’t seem all that interested in what you’re saying. Upon finishing with your specifications, you realize that this job is going to cost much more than you initially thought. What can you do? Do you scour the internet for another picture frame store that is supposedly of high quality, only to get a similar and equally disappointing experience? Do you want to risk that again?

What if I told you that you didn’t have to? What if I told you that if you went to Buffalo Picture Frame & Mirror, your framing problems would be a thing of the past? As stated on the official Buffalo Picture Frame & Mirror website: “Whether you bring in a child’s drawing, a wedding photo, original art, a newspaper article, or a sports jersey, in short anything at all, we have the solution to your framing needs.” This business has been around since 1923, and the newest owner who took over in 1973, Darryl LeClair, has a severe passion for his work and deeply enjoys the creative/fulfilling aspects of working with your hands and giving the people what they want. He also prides his business on “offering our services at prices lower than those crafty national chain stores, even with their so-called 50% off sales,” as he puts it.

Everyone that works at Buffalo Picture Frame & Mirror shares Darryl’s passion and enthusiasm for framing. So if you’re looking to get a quality frame job by some extremely knowledgeable folks on the subject, you can’t do much better than Buffalo Picture Frame & Mirror.

Hyatt’s All Things Creative has custom or unique pre-made frames available

Getting a nice picture frame is great, don’t get me wrong, but every now and again, you want something with a little extra something, something that doesn’t just make you look at the picture and its frame and admire it, but something that makes you stop in your tracks and say “wow that’s a nice frame.” When you’re looking for that desired effect, I can’t think of anything better than Hyatt’s All Things Creative.

A Picture and a Great Frame says about, eh, 1500 Words

Picture framing on its face seems pretty bare bones. You grab a picture, you grab a frame, and boom, you’re done. But that’s not the case. If a picture is worth a thousand words, then the frame has to be worth something too (in my opinion, at least 500 words minimum). The frame shows that you really care about the picture inside, so it’s important to choose carefully when picking one out. And all the places mentioned in this article are great places to consider for your next frame job. So show just how much you care about the pictures in your life and get them into some nice frames. You know they deserve it!
