Find Your Perfect Frame: The Vintage Lady

In a unique way, the custom framing process is much like falling in love. You start with literally thousands of choices. You don’t know exactly what you want and along the way you’ll cycle through some good ones, some ok ones and some downright bad ones. But over time you learn and when you find “the one” - you just know it.

In our new series, Find Your Perfect Frame, we’re exploring the journey that takes your piece from which one? to the one. This time around, a special lady calls for a special frame.

We found this vintage oil painting on Etsy and were immediately drawn to the pops of blue. So naturally, we had to start trying out a selection of blue frames.

Thinking the blue might blend a little too much we pulled in a wood sample and in a thick statement-making profile to see how that worked.

The wood option took us down a path to pull in some different styles from our thousands of choices including some glossier and more ornate finishes.

Yet, we felt the muted style of the painting was calling for something gild-y. A thick gold outer frame complemented by a thinner interior one may do the trick?

Shine on. We ended up with not one, but two, gold frames that modernizes this classic lady.
