Description

Specialties

I specialize in creativity, to make that special framing item your own.

Anything from Gallery Consevation Framing to just a simple poster.

Shadow Box’s, Sports Jerseys, Family Photos, Sticheries and more.

I also do Repairs and Restyling too. The shop has been here for 25 years. After working with some of my clients they feel comfortable enough to just say «do it» So feel at ease that I will come up with the best design at the price you like. I am the designer and the Framer. You will only work with me. I have been Framing for 20 yrs and can frame anything. I have framed Electric Guitars to baseball gloves oh and I framed Hasselbecks cleats! I do everything right here, nothing is outsourced. I will be the one to take your order and the one to present it to you when you pick up. I have a 2 week turn around but can also turn it around in a day for those pressing projects. This is a very friendly neighborhood shop. I have the best customers and very much look foward to meeting you.

You are very blessed if you can say that you love your job.

I truley enjoy going to work everyday. There is always something different to frame. Just when you think you have seen it all or framed everything there is to frame something new and different comes in. Thats the surprise and joy of my job. I frame everything as if I was going to hang in it my house. So rest assured you will be pleased. I do bring my two dogs to work with me everyday and they have many fans. Many people come in just to see them on a daily basis as I am next door to a Becu which is very busy. So come on in and meet Casper, Rocky and myself.

The print.
The print was from a recent Dave Matthews Band show at the Gorge. The print is a limited edition, done by famous illustrator EADES.
Because of the slim line, I knew when I bought this poster that I would need to get it custom framed and I knew it wasn’t going to be cheap. I had heard that the overall quality of Michaels framing was not that great and that the work was sent out to Oregon and given the rarity of this print, I wanted to make sure it was done locally.
I heard about this shop from a couple of other folks and decided to give them a try. Their selection of frames is overwhelming, but really good. I was able to narrow the search pretty easily and worked with Lori on getting a good match for the frame and mat– we landed on an Aquamarine/black double mat– she was a little more into the white, but I decided to go with black to bring more attention into the print vs the mat– she did a great job with it.
It wasn’t cheap, but neither is the quality of work. If I need a custom job again, I will certainly go to this shop to get the work done.

I’ve had a number of things framed here over the years — old movie posters, antique prints, not to mention a cheeky surfer girl lithograph from Hawaii. Lori, the owner, not only has a fantastic eye for how to draw out the best in every piece, she has a good ear for hearing where a customer plans to hang a piece and tailoring her suggestions accordingly. There’s a board selection of frames, and work is always ready in a reasonable time frame, and by the date it is promised.
There’s a bit of downside, of course — it can get spendy to frame an item, even though Lori is good about working with customers and generous with discounts. But that is true of most custom work, and if custom is what you need from a frame, you will get good work here.

Lori did an outstanding job on both a movie poster and an original art piece. She brought very creative ideas to what I wanted to have and the finished projects are inline with what she designed. I wanted high quality showcase pieces without breaking the bank and that’s what she delivered. I will be returning with more projects!

This place is incredible! Lori the owner is friendly and professional and always has the best taste when helping me decide how to frame things. She has done several projects for me and I would never use anyone else. Plus the whole place just has a warm inviting feel. All of her customers all like friends to her so it just feels wonderful to do business there. Thanks Lori!!!

We recently moved to Kirkland and the glass in one of our larger frames was broken during the move. Before opting to purchase a new frame we called Framer vs Framer to ask how much a new piece of glass would cost. It was less that $ 20.00 so we decided to go for it. The woman on the phone (the owner) said we could walk in anytime and she would have it ready for us in 20 minutes or less. My husband and I went the same day and she must have expected us because she already had the glass ready and even upgraded us to a better quality of glass (one with UV protection so the pictures didn’t get discolored or damaged). While she was getting the glass my husband noticed a «check in on Facebook for a discount» sticker on her counter. It was old and probably there from the previous owners but when my husband asked for the discount anyway she didn’t hesitate to give us a percentage off. I can’t remember exactly what we paid but it was something like $ 13.00 which was cheaper than going out and buying a new frame (especially since this one was part of a set). It was a great experience and I’ll definitely be going back here for any additional framing needs (well that and to visit with her friendly dogs)!

I should have written this up months ago, but better late than never…
Last Christmas season, I had a photograph and store bought frame and matte as I was planning on a DIY photo for my Dad. I then learned that I would need a custom matte cut for the photo’s size and was pressed for time. I called up Framer vs Framer and talked to Lori. She said «Sure, come on in!» Even though it was past her closing time and she was swamped with orders. I arrived and moments later she had a perfectly cut matte for me. She also saw that my frame could easily be improved, and offered up a wire hanger with a new backing and attachments, moments later the photo was looking great and ready for wrapping! All this service at a more than reasonable price. Lori went the extra mile and it was very appreciated, THANK YOU!

I went in to have a photo postcard framed for a smallish guest bathroom. I told her i was on a budget so she said she woul use scrap wood. The total (remeber this is a postcard) still came to nearly $ 40! I will not be going back. Michaels in Bellevue uses all new wood does it faster and better and cheaper and with no attitude!

I love going to Framer vs Framer for all my framing needs. Lori the Framer, does a great job and I’m never disappointed in her work. She’s very accommodating and will work with you with whatever it is you need. Her dogs are especially cute too.

I had two things framed here a couple years ago and the quality was top-notch. Don’t be thrown off by the early 80’s signage!
