A special thank you to our generous customers and our field for making our 4th Annual Great Frame Trade-In a huge success. This year we donated over 12,000 frames to Habitat for Humanity and other charities. These frames will be re-purposed and used to decorate countless homes. By trading in your frames we beautify our community and the planet! 

This year, our corporate team partnered with Dallas Area Habitat for Humanity for an extra special event. Habitat selected a family to whom we awarded a special prize package. We created a designer wall of frames from our “trade-ins,” plus custom framed family photographs to create a home full of love and memories.  Debra Gloria donated a family photography session. Thank you Debra for your special gift!

Again, thank you for making the world more beautiful – one frame at a time!

We primed our frames then painted them with “Marble” color Montana Gold.

The homeowner already had these great stencils on the wall. We incorporated them into the design.

Our custom framing master, George, put together a great piece as the anchor of this wall collage.
