    Hi all,

    We're looking for recommendations for custom picture framing as we have a large (~ 2 x 3 ft) original oil painting that needs a frame. Anyone have recent experience (good or bad) to share?

    thanks in advance.

    I have used the framing store by the Bloom since it opened. He's so great--very helpful with ideas/styles, etc. And I think his pricing is very fair,

    thanks for the recommendation! Does "he" have a name that we should ask for (or is he the only guy in the shop)?

    this us up on Ashburn Village and Farmwell?

    Ask for Nick. He runs the joint.

    Thanks, Kaos. Embarassingly enough, I could not remember his name. I'll blame it on sleep deprivation.

    Per T8ergirl's and Kaosdad's recommendation, we brought our art to Nick (ended up being three pieces). I wish every retail experience was a great as this one -- very personable service and his prices were below the Micheal's/Ben Franklin type shops.

    In short, look no further for your framing needs.
