Whether you have a headboard or not, one of the trickiest places to decorate is above the bed. This space is often constrained by a number of things like a bed frame. Or, even more simply, by the fact that you don’t want to knock your head off of the decorations every morning on your […]
This week, a customer called us, flustered. She did not have a large budget, but she wanted to create more than one print. I suggested a few small panels. Her vision, though, was a bit larger than that. I then offered a wonderful solution. Why not create a collage photo print that could fit all […]

I love Shark Week on T.V. There are few programs more captivating than Why Sharks Attack, Killer Sharks, and Shallow Water Sharks. After tuning in, I can only be in awe at the ocean. It is hard to believe how many deadly, but cool creatures live in the ocean. While I watch from my couch, […]

I used to love apple pie. Nice and crisp on the outside, and warm and gooey on the inside. One bite, and I was in heaven. Later on, though, my taste for apple pie wore off. Blueberry pie was my crush now. Not as tart as apple, but more rich and still as gooey. I […]

As we mentioned in a previous blog, there is a global shortage of acrylic due to the manufacture of COVID-19 barriers. Though we made some smart business moves back in March, and we are no where near exhausting our supply of acrylic, […]
