    Frame covers up substantial portion of the artwork, and partial signature of the artist

    I am updating this review with photographs of the poor workmanship, exhibited by this business. I should've refused to pay, but the owner was such an overwhelming bully, but I just decided to write it off and walk out

    They had my review removed. I really want to warn people the reviews are not an honest representation of customers. I took 4 items in to be framed. All four have had issues , 2 having to go to someone else to fix them. One she did in a mat color she preferred I guess hoping I wouldn't notice or I would like it better. She did correct it and it cost me time and the hassle driving back and forth as I don't live close. One was cut and framed unevenly and stuck with it because it was a poster I bought on a trip to Denmark so it was a special item to me. The other two, the pieces keep falling out of place and one not sealed properly so moisture gets in somehow and has warped my hand screen print. To say I am disappointed is an understatement and to then to have my review removed was another slap in the face. My only recourse is to warn people because trying to deal with the owner was awful. Luckily I found another framer closer to my home who has done a wonderful job correcting the work but having to pay twice isn't what I signed up for. I also don't appreciate the aggressive response to my prior review before it being taken down like I am some bad guy. I was a customer who put my faith in a business and you let me down, an apology at any point could have gone a long way. I am not here to ruin a business but to let people know proceed with caution, there seems to be plenty of happy customers but I was not fortunate to be one of them.

    I found this store thru yelp. so its only right that i leave a review! Linda was extremely helpful from the start. I had came in wanting to frame this piece i recently purchased. she showed me the possible options i can take with my piece as well as quotes. Linda was also very informative and always kept me updated. Overall, happy with the option we went with and she gave me a deal for my 1st time. Will be back with future pieces.

    My women of color finally framed and on display!

    Hidden gem For Sure! The owner, Linda, is so nice and is definitely an expert on framing needs. I purchased some canvases not knowing they would not be mounted. They came rolled up in a tube so I went to Gold Leaf Framing. I was hoping to get them mounted but Linda advised me that would not be a good idea as I would lose too much of the canvas / picture doing that. She suggested I frame them to preserve as much image real estate as possible. I didn't want to spend a lot of money so she framed them in the basic house frame. Is framing inexpensive? NO! But to have an expert frame and make sure it is done correctly and safely so as not to damage your prints/canvases, that's what you pay for. The framing cost way more than what I paid for the canvas prints but it was worth it as they look absolutely beautiful! Side note: I spray painted the frames as they were dark brown and I really wanted the frames to match the rest of that house metal, plus the metallic color brings out the vivid colors & imagery. Why didn't I get them framed with this color in the first place? Because that would have cost more and I just wanted them basic framed so I could color them the way I wanted. Linda did a great job keeping as much of the image as possible! I'm so glad I had them framed by her. Highly recommend if you need your artwork framed professionally.

    Linda has framed many pieces for us over the last several years, and recently we presented her with a (once) beautiful print. I don't know how a tear is repaired, but it is no longer visible....there was also some color fade in one area and using her artistry, it too has disappeared! Here, can you spot the repairs?

    Getting my painting framed last minute for a Laguna Beach gallery was nothing short of a miracle. I come in with a small square canvas (an odd uncommon size) and request a frame job to beat a same day deadline! I have an hour. I was asking the impossible of the owner "Linda." She knew it. I knew it. She had just an hour and it was not going to be a custom fitting (that I should have gotten done long ago), it was going to be an INNOVATIVE how do we do this task. Linda rifled through her frames looking for the odd size (square) and found one larger frame (too big). I did not like the color, so we kept looking. Meanwhile, the hour is bearing down on me for a drop off in Laguna Beach at a gallery. Stupid me for waiting last minute. Not to worry though, as Linda was more than helpful and calming in my crazed mess. We found a frame (larger than the canvas) and matting. It would be a new way of framing with the canvas out (not in)....huh? But Linda had a vision and solution to my problem. God bless her! She got to work to make this work and beat my deadline (I do not recommend last minute orders within an hour's time). We had some glitches along the way, but in the end, I got my painting framed and hit the freeway to beat the "drop off" deadline at the gallery by 12 noon. I cannot say enough about Linda, her expertise, her patience, her strong guidance as I was losing my mind! And the price? VERY VERY reasonable!!! OMG! I paid cash. This is the only place I go for a personable, small town feel and professionalism unrivaled! Cecile

    Beautiful frame.

    So Linda was amazing! I had a very interesting request. She was very knowledgeable in framing quilts specifically so that was wonderful! I was nervous it may have some bumps, due to my freemotion sewing style being very textured... but ohhh nooo It's soooo smooth & sharp looking. Completely transformed my artwork to another level. My first time getting my freemotion work framed and I'm absolutely thrilled and excited for future works! Highly recommend!!!

    Old frame

    I inherited this painting done by my great grandmother about 100 years ago. I brought it in to see if it needed to be restored. They were kind and told me that I did not need to restore it, as it was in excellent condition. I asked for suggestions on a new frame, and this blue one was suggested. I never would have picked it myself, but it is absolutely perfect. I am so happy with it, and it completely transformed the piece. Thank you!

    I recently used Gold Leaf Framing for a print that I needed framed, since it was an oddball size a custom frame was my only option. Linda was very helpful, friendly and thorough on the process. The price was very reasonable compared to chain shops that charge more for an inferior product. The service was done very quickly and I am very pleased with the work. Will definitely be coming back.

    See all

The staff is always amazing and super helpful and friendly and willing to do anything they can to help you out and the prices are great. Despite the website always saying somethings on sale when its the exact same price it is all the time when its not on sale. If not for the staff is give no stars to be blunt.
