Taking home your framed art from Imagine it Framed is like taking home a quality piece of furniture. They are far from cheap but you get what you pay for in framing.

Staff are extremely helpful and circulating. I was camped out by the sculpting mediums for quite…read moresome time and two or three different people came to make sure I didn't have any questions! They have a variety of moleskin notebooks... but not exactly what I was looking for today. I talked to a lady at the front desk and ended up going with a hardcover A4 extended Leuchtturm1917 notebook. They have testers and I wandered around trying out different pens to make sure that nothing bled through the pages. I generally get one of these notebooks and it becomes my baby for a good year or so... and anyway I believe that it is going to work well. (I have been Moleskin-loyal for a few years now but the paper quality seems similar and thus I am feeling confident). I come here from time to time for XXL canvases, acrylic paints, and to get supplies for my fountain pens. I always seem to spend a couple hours here... whether I intend to or not! They have information about local art classes pinned right to the front door and for anyone who has leveled-up from (or is unable to find what they need at) Michaels, this is a wonderful place with fair prices! They often seem to have some kind of sale going on. I have a membership or loyalty card and I have no idea how much it saves me (or what the exact plan does) but they offered to set me up a good 5-10 visits ago and then continue to look up my account by my last name.

There were also nice pieces of stained glass, some pottery and even a framed sports jersey. The back of the shop had a large table where the piece you are having framed could be staged. A huge selection of framing material and mats were available to choose from. Ellen took a great deal of time to show me over a couple of dozen combinations of frames and matting materials that would work with my print. She explained why each piece would work for it's individual complimentary elements and gave me plenty of options. Once all the pieces were chosen she quoted me a price and her current wait time. Could I have gotten a better price at a chain store? Possibly, but her price was pretty good. Would I rather support a shop like this? Absolutely. I did have a tough time finding it at first. This shop is near the Chevy Dealer, and directly across from the Army-Navy Club. This is exactly the kind of shop I was looking for. It was friendly, local, and full of options with knowledgeable staff.

The staff are very nice and helpful. I will say that their prices can be pretty expensive at time for some pieces - this could be typical for those types of pieces, but I don't have the expertise to say one way or the other. They do have someone who works to fix up furniture before it is sold, so anything you buy here will likely be ready to display in your house. Also, while I didn't find anything today, I have previously purchased furniture here and my advice would be not to be afraid to negotiate, especially if you are buying multiple pieces. The staff was able to go down in price a bit, so I felt like I got a deal.
