Are the walls closing in? A new framing project can help.

Empty walls

Have you been staring at empty walls this quarantine? If you can’t figure out what would bring that space to life, not a problem. We can help you out with some ideas for framing projects. Here’s what to do:

Step 1: Take a picture of your ‘problem’ wall. If you can include some measurements, that is also helpful.

Step 2: Tell us what your idea is for that space. Are you looking to add one big piece or several small ones? Do you have any special items that could be framed that could be a focus or theme for the wall, like a musical instrument or family heirloom?

Step 3: Email it to us at: staff@framedepotgj.com. Give us all the necessary details and let us know you’d like some assistance with ideas for a room or a specific wall.

Step 4: We’ll correspond virtually to propose a solution. Problem solved!

Lost and found memories could fill those empty walls

Maybe you spent your time at home cleaning and re-organizing your closets. How many shoeboxes of old photos did you find? Cherished keepsakes? Maybe an old memento that belonged to grandma? Instead of hiding those heirlooms in the closet again, plan a beautiful display! Follow these steps to create a memorable project.

Step 1: Based on what you found, select a theme, such as grandma’s scarf. 

Step 2: Gather all items that relate to your theme — photos, mementos, letters, textiles — anything that’s scrapbook worthy.

Step 3: Bring your items to us. We are open again but we are also doing pick-up, deliveries and also curb-side drop off and pick up — whatever you are more comfortable with during this time. We will help you arrange them in an aesthetically pleasing manner. If you can’t come to our location, we can send you photos by email.

Step 4: We’ll work our framing magic and present you with a completed framed project, so you can cherish your memories for a lifetime! Imagine all the beautiful projects that could grace your walls.

Fun and games

In an upcoming newsletter we will feature framing puzzles and games. Puzzles and board games of all kinds can be framed and displayed, especially if you have some empty walls in a family or game room! If you were one of the lucky ones to buy a puzzle during the great pandemic jigsaw puzzle shortage, save it as a memory of how you spent your quarantine. Stay tuned for more information on how to turn some of your fun into a framed memory.
