Less than the Price of the Actual Art
Framing Art
After last week’s newsletter featuring picture frames, I wanted to include reasonably priced frames for framing art around the house. Framing art can be insanely expensive and often costs more than the art. I wish I was a professional art framer sometimes, because it would be an amazing skill to have, especially with a dad who collects art and would keep me insanely busy (shout out Dad). But until that fantasy becomes reality, companies like Framebridge and Artifact Uprising are great options. Also, don’t sleep on Amazon, Michaels, Target, or other big box stores.
Below are some great frames…
1. Antique Silver Bamboo Frame ($87) 2. Floating Acrylic Frame ($31) 3. Marin Frame ($75) 4. Irvine Slim Frame ($75) 5. Mottled Gold with Bead ($83) 6. Bowery Frame ($75) 7. Toulouse Frame ($75) 8. Lawrence Frame ($75) 9. Chelsea Frame ($75)
10. Venice Frame ($75) 11. Montauk Frame ($75) 12. Venice Frame ($75) 13. Monterey Frame ($75) 14. Cherry Frame ($75) 15. Cherry Angled Frame ($90) 16. Potomac Frame ($75) 17. Archer Frame ($85) 18. Avalon Frame ($85)
19. Rome Frame ($75) 20. Gresham Frame ($85) 21. Beaded Gold Frame 4-Piece Set ($40) 22. Mandalay Frame ($75) 23. Madrid Frame ($75) 24. Bleached Maple Frame ($90) 25. The Musicians Frame ($140) 26. Walnut Canvas Frame ($115) 27. Lafayette Frame ($75)

Spring Cleaning Reminders
-Sprinkler maintenance, repairs, and set up for the season

-HVAC maintenance (I do maintenance on my system 2x a year to make sure it’s in top shape and ready for the hot days ahead)
-Mulch flower beds if needed
-Tree and plant pruning if needed
-Clean outdoor lights (get all those bugs and gunk out to keep your lights looking good and not rusting)
-Spray for pests on a regular basis around the perimeter of your foundation to ward off any unwanted visitors
-Spray yard for mosquitos, fleas, and ticks on a regular basis
