I had a wonderful experience working with Rachel in the custom framing department at Michael's. She…read morespent a great deal of time with me helping to find the perfect frame for a lithograph that has a lot of emotional meaning to me. She was incredibly patient, thoughtful, and genuinely invested in making sure everything looked just right. Rachel walked me through different options, offered helpful suggestions, and paid close attention to the details that mattered most to me. I never felt rushed, and her kindness and professionalism made the whole process enjoyable and reassuring. Thanks to Rachel, I now have a beautifully framed piece that I'll treasure for years. Michael's is lucky to have someone so caring and dedicated in their custom framing department.

I stopped in here on a whim, and because I wanted to see what kind of poster frames they had…read moreavailable. First off I noticed the Valentines merch, as that's just a couple weeks away. Then the Christmas merch, 75% off, which was extremely tempting! For picture frames, they had a lot of good options, from traditional frames in custom sizes, to pre-made frames, including shadow boxes and floating style frames. I was just doing research tonight, not ready to buy, but they did have a lot of options for me to consider. I also used their restroom and while it was barely stocked, it was adequate for my needs. Store was well-lit, clean and tidy. Aisles are pretty wide and were well stocked.

Once upon a time, when I was a wee lil' CL, I collected stickers (in hindsight, sticker collecting…read morenever really had the cache of coin or stamp collecting nor did it stand the test of time, but that didn't get in the way of my obsessive compulsion to collect Lisa Frank, scratch n sniff, hologram, mylar etc....indulge me in this nerdy traipse through memory lane). Back in the day my haven was a place called Pleasant Thoughts; this is where I would blow my wee lil' allowance on stickers, stationery and other trinkets. I'm now a grown woman and to this day I adore stationery stores; Paper Mulberry is the epitome of fine stationery (minus the stickers). If you're looking for unique cards, invitations, gifts, pens, travel journals and other specialty items, this is the place to be. You can literally find yourself in there forever perusing all the displays in this tiny shop in Stevenson Ranch. I picked up my holiday cards including a really cool set designed by MOMA and a gift for a coworker. It's not cheap, but despite this I always leave Paper Mulberry with a smile on my face, it's truly a gem in the SCV.

Very disappointing experience. I placed my canvas order only yesterday afternoon , and by this…read moremorning it was already "finished." When I saw the work, I was shocked by how sloppy, rushed, and low quality it looked. This was not professional work and not something any business should hand to a customer. I explained that I was unhappy with the quality and asked for my money back because I could not use this canvas for my client. Instead of trying to fix the problem, they refused and kept saying, "This is how we do it," and that they already spent time, labor, and materials on it. They acted like there was nothing wrong with the work at all. What made the experience even worse was the attitude and disrespect. Instead of helping or apologizing, I was told to leave the store. I also took photos of the canvas so people can judge the quality for themselves. I would not recommend this place if you expect professionalism, quality workmanship, or respectful customer service.

"Paint it! Paint it black!!!"…read more My go to local small art supply, art gallery, art happenings and creative vibes stores. Carter Sexton Artist Materials is located in Los Angeles' San Fernando Valley within the Valley Village/Studio City area and resides on Laurel Canyon Boulevard/just a beat down from Chandler Blvd and the Laurel Canyon Metro Station for the Orange (aka G) line. It's got lots of fun nooks and crannies with great materials, supplies, service and sales (including 40% off, clearance items and more). It was easy for me to follow a lot of their played out pricing for canvas (10 years in retail, though it's been almost 10 years since I walked away from it and yet still retain so much lol). I ventured into the "Come (On) In" area and discovered some complimentary artist guides, incredible artwork and extra items I was seeking for a sketching event I hosted over the weekend. Love coming in on Saturdays, though it's been several months since I was last in, hoping to change that, check out more of their events, including some great some shows this holiday season like their Medley. I don't have much to submit by their deadline, but highly recommend you do if you're an artist, aspiring artist or creative. They definitely are neighborhood feel with some cool regulars. Caught some warming interactions and references to Cheers (the 80s to early 90s series) between the staff and a really nice returning customer. I'm not sure if Kelli was there when I stopped in, but I've had some greatest response with her in the past online when inquire about things. Everyone is super knowledgeable, mindful and respectful. Ready to assist, but also let you take your time exploring and feeling out all they have to offer. Street parking primarily with a 1hour limit from 8am to 6pm. Some limited spaces in their back alley parking, that I'm sure is super great for their staff/ the Carter Sexton family. Its first come first serve, but you might get lucky. Open from 10am to 6pm Monday through Saturday weekly with some variations for holidays. A must whether a local, passing through or seeking out a small biz to support that does great things for the area, and showcasing a spotlights artists of all walks of lives and ages. Even Bob Ross on display wants you to check out this great supportive Art spot. "We don't make mistakes, just happy little accidents."

While the inventory is fantastic, the real reason we keep coming back is the unmatched customer service. Avi is absolutely wonderful. He is always there with a smile and is incredibly helpful with the kids. He takes the time to listen to what they think they need, and then uses his expertise to offer suggestions that end up working even better for their projects. That kind of personalized guidance is rare! Plus, they offer a student discount, which is a huge bonus for a family with three creative kids. The selection here simply cannot be found at big-box stores like Staples or Michaels. My girls love the variety of Copic markers, Posca pens, and art books. It's also a relief to shop here instead of Amazon because the prices are competitive, but you have the peace of mind that you are buying authentic, high-quality products. The store has a perfect "local shop" charm--it is organized and easy to navigate, yet big enough to have everything you need. Highly recommend!
