Wow, what a difference a trip to Elite Framing makes! Our customer came in with his dated poster (cool poster, just not very nicely framed!) and we put some simple black mats and a contemporary black beveled frame on it and it makes such a difference!

WE ended up replacing the hanging hardware with newer (and much better) hardware. Then we set about to measure, measure and measure some more! Pilot holes were drilled then enlarged, anchors sank and screws … [Read more...] about Another Tricky Installation
