I also had a poster mounted on foam board, but it started curling when I brought it home, so I had to take it back and have it framed. It turned out great. The staff gave me a deal on that one. I paid $350 for the 2 pictures. I usually get my framing done at Alberta Hospital where they operate a frame shop as a patient program. It's so much cheaper than anywhere in the city, but it's a long way to drive. Convenient location is why I chose Mill Creek. I have only seen women working in this shop. I'm very impressed. They are highly skilled.

I went in for the first time early March (2013) to get a print framed for a donation item for a silent auction and brought in personal items for the house. They spent the time helping me find a frame that would accent the red in the photo (it was taken in Africa) and also helped pick a great mat for it.--which I recently found out they upgraded to museum to really help elevate the photo! I brought in 4 other canvas paintings to get stretched and framed. And after much discussion and playing around, they really helped me come up with the best options for the pieces and didn't pressure me at all. I ended up getting one stretched on canvas and the other 3 mounted on foam core and framed (best decision ever for these 3). They really did take the time to make sure I was happy with my decision! And another thing, I brought in a very sentimental piece from my trip and it was probably the most difficult to pick a frame for but they still pulled as much as possible and helped me come up with a decision that I was very very happy with (I swear it was at least an hour!). I have to say, these guys really do understand the art of framing! I went to go pick it up and was floored by how beautiful it turned out! I loved it and would recommend taking the time to let them figure out what you like and go from there. If you go in with an idea, they really can run with it and their selection is so vast that you really can trust their recommendations and simple tweaks. Truly, the art of framing is mastered here!

This place is my secret weapon for hilarious (and saucy/slightly inappropriate) cards for all occasions. As for their namesake, their framing is impeccable and the images they have on hand are impressive and varied. I've seen a lot of different projects done out of here and the work is beautiful. Bring in your own items, or find something beautiful in house! Or stock up on cards! There's lots of options!

This is a cool little art and framing shop on Leduc's admittedly quiet "main street". They also…read morecarry a nice selection of collectibles as well as paints. I often pass by framing shops in the malls in Edmonton and never go in because I worry it's out of my price range or that im going to be subjected to high pressure sales tactics. I have never had these worries at Black Gold Gallery and Frame. The owner is a lovely woman who is friendly but content to leave you to browse if you tell her you are just looking. A little known fact about this place also is if you are a Bradford exchange fan they will place an order for you if you see something you like on the website and will do it through their own account which is great if online shopping makes you uncomfortable or you don't have a credit card. Just make sure you have at least half the money to put down on your purchase and they will call you when it arrives. They were very understanding with me the last time I made a purchase and it took me three days to get to Leduc to actually pick it up. I only received one extra reminder phone call and not once was I ever accused of trying to flake out on paying them the other half of the money. These folks have been around since 1993 and with great selection and unbeatable customer service it is easy to see why. If you are in the Leduc area and looking to add to the decor of your home make sure to give this great small business a look and I promise you will not be disappointed.

They had a cool collection of gifts for budding artists, kids and professionals. Tools for painting, carving, crafting & POTTERY!! my good friend just purchased a pottery wheel. I will be sure to tell her to visit the gilded rabbit. Two woman working we're helpful. I loved the smooth artsy jams playing over the radio. It got me in the mood to create. Prices are reasonable for a standalone art supply store is comparable to those you would find in a big box store. Although you would never find the selection or specialized tools in a big box location. Having said that ...... WHY NOT SUPPORT THE LITTLE GUY! If you've been holding out on art supplies or thinking about getting into an ARTSY MESS, I recommend checking out the gilded rabbit!

This is my "go to" spot for quality framing (I always get really good advice and is always an "easy…read morepeasy, lemon squeezy"process) as well as special art supplies for my classroom :-) Marion and her staff are very accommodating and SO knowledgeable about their inventory. As well, it is a great place to stop in and talk all things art, art supplies and everyday. This is what makes this place special....it is not only a shop to acquire art materials, but a space of community where you can drop in and see the wonderful things to buy AND to have a quick visit with those who work there and enjoy their customers business and their company :-)

Ms. LaMarche is the perfect representative for their artists. The picture was shipped to the West Coast of the US, and she made the process easy and seamless. That painting now hangs over our fireplace, and it is perfect. Carole worked closely with us and the artist as an intermediary as we worked through the process of commissioning two paintings. She coordinated phone meetings and made sure our concerns were pointed out to the artist and hers to us. She worked closely with us in selecting frames and matting. Thank you, Carol, and thank you, Maurade. Regards, Tom & Nancy Conner

This Sherwood Park gallery features some beautiful and inspired art objects, paintings and…read morereproductions. From the outside, you can see some large-canvas paintings that are colourful and eye-catching, nicely displayed and inviting. There are two large presentation rooms, the smaller of which features bear statues by Vance Theoret, who sculpts with soapstone, slate, chlorite and Kissi stone, and works with lots of subjects, but his bears are his favourite ... and it shows. They're playful and embody an innocence and curiosity that are almost human-like. There are lots of other original works by a variety of artists. As I'm not much of an art connoisseur, I didn't recognize most, but know the names Robert Bateman and Trisha Romance, whose giclees (high quality reproductions) and limited edition prints are available here. I think sometimes they come buy originals. It's a lovely show space, and there's something for every aesthetic, from landscape and abstract to fantasy and realism. The shop's been around for almost 30 years and has a solid reputation in the art business.

We wanted the blinds on our patio door to slide open and we could not find any company that would make this happen. I was at another store next to Sage Furnishings and decided to check Sage out and I was amazed that they not only carried really neat furniture, but blinds as well. I spoke with Lewis and he said, "no problem we can make this happen" Talk about Wow Factor!! We absolutely love them and we always get huge complements from our friends and family. We had a team from Sage Furnishings come out to measure and discuss what would work best for our home. They made us feel very confident that these blinds will be amazing. Once the order came in they were prompt in coming out to install them, my husband always says, "a happy wife is a happy life" We look at them everyday and never regret having them in our home...they are worth every penny:) We highly recommend Sage Furnishings as they have high quality product and high quality Customer service!

The order arrived on time, in perfect condition and delivery guys were great as well. Their delivery fees are lower than most of the nice stores. The only problem was that we chose the incorrect cushion firmness for us. We phoned and replacement inexpensive cushions were quickly ordered and quickly arrived. The owner offered to change them for us while we waited. Now it is really comfortable in addition to gorgeous.

The place is chock full of goodies that they get from homebuilders with show homes, home stagers, and other folk who have changed their colour schemes or whatnot. If you're in the market for wall art, pillows, objets d'art, vases, or all sorts of other doo-dads, give this place a try. It's small, but crammed full, and the selection is constantly being updated. Don't forget to look upstairs too. This place is dangerously close to my work AND my house (sort of halfway in between, so I'll be stopping in frequently for new items. The prices were really reasonable for what they had, and the manager, Sydney, was a delight to chat with. She said they've been open for about a year and a half. Too long for me not to know about them! Definitely adding this to my usual list of places to check out for gorgeous decor.
