We've been framed!

[Name]

I have bought many frames from http://www.pictureframes.com/ also known as Graphik Dimensions, Ltd. Found their prices fair, and service good. Of course it would require actually framing the piece yourself, but they have many excellent frames.

Wow. Fantastic job!

Yeah, we've bought from pictureframes.com before, but they didn't really have anything that fit the bill for us.

We found a good one for Frontierland at Michael's yesterday, but there was only one left in stock and it was damaged. They're getting more on Wednesday.

Tomorrowland is still up in the air. There's absolutely nothing ready-made that's right, we've looked at a billion different places. I guess the retro-future look has gone back out of style. Michael's is having a 50% off custom framing sale all week. We saw some possibilities there, so we may do that. But, even at 50% off, if we're not careful the cost could still approach that of just going back to Disneyana and getting them to do it. But we went back and looked at that framing, and didn't love it as much as we remembered. The frame itself is awesome and we have seen nothing even close to it anywhere else, but the matting they chose leaves soemthing to be desired. I wonder if they'll sell us just the frame...

Nice work GD! Wow, what a difference a frame makes for the art. I particularly like the Frontierland one.

Tomorrowland: check out beveled mirror frames, maybe? Or something of recycled paper? Or better yet, since this is SHag and Tomorrowland: the wonderful world of plastics!

Better living through chemistry.

I looked at white frames, since the Tomorrowland of '55 was all about white, but I decided white was way too blah. Looks like TL will be our splurge in this area.

Just wait until you see the Frontierland frame, it's awesome.

I've got my two Shag Tiki Room prints in relatively plain black frames I got at Target. The Adventureland one is waiting for the same frame to be back in stock at my Target. (I just left the white mats they came with--my framing is certainly nothing special, but they look really good with the black.)

And a certain someone has that third Tiki Room print to send to me--still. I swear I'm good for the cost and postage. I can't hang the 3 I have until they're all here--it's a spacing thing. Hint. Hint.

Oh yes, the art can definitely stand on its own without elaborate framing...but even before we bought them we were considering the themed frames, and seeing them in Disneyana in themed frames sealed the deal. And now that we've got 4 of the 5 frames found, Tomorrowland's framing has to be able to hold its own against the others.

[Matterhorn Fan]

Of course it does!

I have the distinct advantage of not having seen these fancy framings in Disneyana. If they're as cool as they sound, I'd probably be tempted to theme the frames, too. Though in my case, that'd mean bamboo all around. And while that would go with my very Floridian furniture, I don't want to "theme" my living room that much. My entertainment unit is already a completely different style. I don't want that ultra-modern stuff to feel too excluded.

[Ghoulish Delight]

Yeah, it's nice that we've got 5 distinct themes to work with.
