This framing shop has a lot of character, and a lot to see. There are many framed pieces for sale,…read morefrom mirrors to prints to paintings. The woman who owns it used to be an artist herself, but now mostly does framing, which she enjoys as a different kind of artistic expression. Her dog, Daisy, sits with her in the shop. Daisy doesn't like wind, so might be jumping on tables if it's a particularly windy day. The owner frames mostly for individual patrons, but there's a lot more to see in this shop. And of course, stop to give Daisy a pat.

Mostly they just cater in frames, but there are some already framed pieces of photography and art which are really beautiful, and there are even some memorabilia for a cheap price which I really liked looking at. But most of all, it's frames. And boy, are there a lot of frames.

There's a large range of frames and matting boards to choose from and if your arty crafty yourself, this place has the cheapest matting board and offcuts I could find anywhere. Pieces vary in size and a good mid range offcut can cost as little as fifty cents, I stocked up on several. Ready framed prints are also available plus they supply picture framing equipment like matt board cutters, descent size rubber backed rules for grip, stanley knives, etc. If it's not too far out of your way it's definitely worth getting a quote.

The people at Elite are helpful quick and friendly…read more I recently got a couple of works framed there for an exibition and I was really pleased with the service they provided. They took considerable time and care in assisting me to select an appropriate tone and hue for each of the frames so as to complememnt the work. They also did not try and sell me the most expensive thing on offer, but rather worked within my budget. I have also got quotes over the phone from them in a fraction of the time it takes for other companies to do the same.

Dimond's is a little shop in the Adelaide Arcade that I used to miss when I walked past. Finally…read morenoticing it, I was really impressed by its range of black and white framed photography prints up on the walls. The have photos of Adelaide in its early days, as well as some beautiful shots of iconic European cities. The sizes and prices of the prints make them very accessible, and easy to fit onto a wall without having to make it a huge feature. I also like their framed Gustav Klimt prints, which are also a good size and would make a great gift. The framing is done elsewhere, so the rest of the shop is filled with decorative statues and vases and other home decor. Their style is quite eclectic, and I see something different in the window whenever I pass. Some of it I like, though some seems a little out of place. Most of it is very modern, in contrast to the classical look of the photography. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Their work is good quality, and it's nice knowing that a local business is taking care of your framing and will be accountable for the job.

Renato Campana or his brother Tony will look after you at Diamond's. If you are looking for that…read morespecial gift, they will take time to show you whatever they think suits your brief; and if it is a picture frame you are seeking, they will really take interest. They do the framing, they know their stuff and they like to be as helpful as possible. It's a family affair and they don't mess about. Obviously it is not something you can find so easily around the city - a good picture framing business - quite often these types of enterprises are out in obscure spots in the suburbs; and yes that does mean the price is slightly higher than elsewhere because they are paying top dollar for rent, but they compensate by being good at customer service. The store is average size, but filled with items that are a little different from what you are likely to find elsewhere and they take a considerable amount of pride in their stock. The mainstay of the business is the picture framing, and the prints they have available are sourced from all over the place, so you may be quick to find something good here. Don't hesitate to give them a call if you want to find out more, they really are the most delightful chaps and will do what they can to help.

20/1/2012 Photos First to Review Dear Peter, owner of Colour…read moreTech. YOU are the reason for this high rating. Your store? I believe you, because you nailed every single one of my questions. Your store is kind of like meeting one of your long-lost relatives. Where have you been all of my life?! Both Peter and every employee that walked past me definitely scored high for their friendliness. I was raised by my folks to be nice to everyone, and say hi when you walk past someone (only if they acknowledge you also)...EVERY single employee said hello to me! Yay! Also, you were the first owner to tell me that price was not the most important thing to him. He emphasised that the reason he's lasted 18 years, when the rest disappeared from Adelaide, was he put best service to his customers as his number one priority. I'm really HAPPY to hear this! This sounds like my kinda store! When several other printing businesses around Gawler Place have disappeared, service prevailed. So cool. Like the rest of my family, we are all perfectionists, and want our productions to look perfect. This printing business will get your stuff done, and browsing through their catalogue, they do it really well. Something that is definitely impressive about your business is how knowledgeable you were about your own offerings. I mean, he answered every single one of my questions very well, and he was pleasant enough to clarify, and even add a few jokes here and there! He told me that I can email him anytime, no matter where I am in Australia (or even if I'm overseas, like in Africa!!!) and he'll get it all done and sent to me through the post, whatever I needed! Now that's a business owner who's inspiring me to do something new with y life, as I write this review! Your business has left a great impression on me, so let's leave it at that....and I'm glad you can service me if I am working out of Adelaide! He didn't reveal any of his prices, because he said it varies according to what each customer wants (colour vs black and white, big banner vs small training manual), but I certainly love his offerings, service and conversation skills! But the real reason anyone should go? To add colour and high quality to your work and presentations! Once you step in for the first time, he welcomes you to the world of digital printing - they have solutions to create a high quality, professional image. From a short run full colour presentation document to high volume training manuals or product literature, Colour Tech has the solution for you! It's what they do! No wonder high-paid Corporate people, Government employees and nearby Departments use your business for over 18 years and still running. I wonder if any other printing business in Adelaide can compete with this guy? If so, I'd like to know.

Isn't it terrible when you miss a store like this one for so long! What a gorgeous little set up…read more Louise Woodhouse Flowers has the perfect position set up in Adelaide Arcade. A florist just fits in so well here. My eye was caught by a set up in the middle of the Arcade. Some beautiful live plants, terrariums, moth orchids and wood. I feel like this style is very much in fashion at the moment. Kind of that earthy green forest feel. Very fresh looking. The set up in the store is simple and clean. Each species is presented in beautiful displays in large metal pales. The colour scheme and flowers chosen here are of the more classy varieties. White roses, black roses, and green foliage. This isn't a rainbow flower kind of store. Unfortunately I caught her low on stock on my visit, so I could not see the whole store full. But, if what she had in the store was what was left, well.... I love this florist! Louise is just absolutely lovely and is obviously amazing at what she does. She spent time talking about her business and why she loves it. If you have a special occasion coming up or just want to decorate your home with a modern bunch, visit this store.

My first impression was that it didn't look that great from the outside. A little bit tacky and cheap maybe. Well, in this case, don't rely on your first impression. They sell very beautiful flowers in the most amazing colours. I'm not a big fan or connoisseur of flowers but I can still tell when I see perfect roses or orchids. The selection is not immense as the shop is quite small, but if you're after a bouquet for a special occasion, you'll definitely find something here. There is a touch of kitsch, or should I say romance, to their shop that is reflected in the wrapping papers used for the flowers (pink, red, purple etc.) but when you look at each bouquet individually it isn't as bad. Prices start at around $30 and most bouquets costs between 50 and 100 bucks. I don't think that's cheap at all but I really don't have a clue about the cost of flowers.
