Everyone has a favorite sports team. Sometimes there's memorabilia just waiting to be framed for your office or home. Perhaps you have a baseball card collection from way back when. Or a collection of mini-football helmets. Or a sports jersey.  Anything and everything to remind you of your team or a special event, is the perfect material for a sports shadowbox. We can customize you memories and match any decor.

Football Uniform and Team Photo

There are many ways to frame sports memorabilia. It's always interesting to have photos, medal, patches, emblems and other related items all together in a creative frame design. Simple collections can become a beautiful focal point of a room when the right mats and moulding are chosen. As with any design, mats can offer a multitude of possibilities. We can use different shapes and even cut the name of the team into the mat for an extra effect. Any sport from baseball to basketball, from tennis to lacrosse, from soapbox derbies to soccer and swimming can be commemorated in a custom made shadowbox design.

What's New In Framing?

Larson Juhl has a new moulding line out called the "Petite II." Doesn't it make an elegant presentation for diploma's?

The silver, black and bronze comes in 3/4" wide, the bronze, black and three wood tones come in 15/16" wide.  Here's what Larson has to say about their new line:

An extension of the popular Petite collection launched in 2010, the new Petite II collection offers a smart variety of small scale mouldings in a multitude of timeless finishes and profile shapes. The Petite II collection introduces six new finishes to the popular #334 profile and a new profile that is finished with three new neutral metallic tones. The Petite II collection is a PEFC certified collection. PEFC, which stands for Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification, traces the chain of custody of lumber product from forest to final product. This assortment of clean-lined modern profiles can be used as a liner to add texture and depth to frame designs or easily transformed by adding a fillet, expanding the uses of Petite II. The thoughtfully undersized shapes of the Petite II collection make these mouldings ideal for small spaces or for framing art meant to hang in groups.

Stop by and see what these beautiful mouldings could do for your diploma,  certificate, photo or art!

We are really excited about this piece we just framed and wanted to share it with you! The piece belongs to Rusty Baez and consists of 3 tiles. We floated them on matboard in tiers and then floated those on a separate piece of matboard before cutting an unique mat created for it. There are matboard spacers between the two mats in order to show depth. We're very proud of it!

Inspired by the tradition, elegance and grandeur of Biltmore in Asheville, North Carolina, the Biltmore Collection by Larson-Juhl fuses the classic beauty of Biltmore’s architecture and its magnificent treasures into a collection of fine frames for today’s homes.
