March came “in like a lamb” to remind us that Spring is soon to follow!
Spring Updates for your home and office are in order and we can help!
1. A simple inexpensive solution to updating your decor is to have us replace older mats and/or frames on your existing art.
2. Take care to hang your art as part of a grouping with desk/table/chair/etc. The biggest design mistake people make is when they hang their art too high, away from the other surrounding elements.
3. Switch your art from room to room and see how much you enjoy a fresh look. You’ll notice new things about pieces you have when viewed in different surroundings. When re-hanging, be sure to dust front, back and sides for the “health” of your art! We do offer installation services if you’re afraid to tackle re-hanging on your own.
4. Nancie began Artful Framer Studios in 1979 and has been framing for 29 years. Marcy joined her to learn the trade in 2000, so we have many years of combined expertise to make your art look great, last forever, and fit your budget. Marcy & Nancie do all the framing in-house.
5. The art in your office may be your only “window” in the room. Choose images that you enjoy viewing; that give you a mental break in your day. Keep the mat & framing neutral so that the art provides your “escape”.
6. If you want to add to your collection, we offer Originals and Giclee Prints by Nancie King Mertz of Chicago & Europe. Ron print’s the Giclees in-house, and will print to your size requirements on paper OR canvas. ArtDeTriumph is starting to offer some of our canvas prints with a wrapped-edge, frameless presentation…..
6. And we have a lot of new work by our guest artists! We offer installment plans to help you collect the piece you love!
