I was in a bit of a bind and needed to have a few canvas prints mounted on a fairly quick turnaround. Susan was more than helpful in fitting me into her busy schedule and getting the job done. I have known Susan since her days at the local framing supplier and knew right away that she would be the right person to turn to. She is personable, knowledgeable, and a true friend and asset to the artist community. I would highly recommend Susan and Framing Solutions to anyone needing custom framing services!

What a great experience I had with Susan at Framing Solutions. She was FUN and knowledgable. I like to think I have a good eye but Susan showed herself a real expert in helping me choose the perfect combination of materials and patterns to make my special print shine. I am thrilled with how it meets all who enter my home and know it will be the first of many jobs I do with her. Good framing matters and this is the place to go!

Susan at Framing Solutions is exceptionally creative, very helpful, and there with great ideas. She helped a couple friends with amazing framing, and helped me create a unique wine rack punch wall for a charity event. She used her fancy mat cutter to build a template that allowed us to make a finished piece. It’s hard to explain, but she took on a challenge, and rose above expectations. She is close to me, but worth the drive if you are further out in the metro. Look at her work, it is truly exceptional.

Susan, owner and designer, made the process of picking out a frame for a very special painting by my brother an enjoyable experience. She helped me narrow down the options from the thousands of possibilities. She listened to my design vision which was pretty vague and helped me articulate it, advised me about which options would be worth the price and which would not so that I could stay within my budget and still have a fine framing project done. I love the results hanging over my fireplace.

I brought a piece in of great sentimental value and out of endless options available, Susan magically honed in on exactly the right framing solution for me! Easy to communicate with from start to finish, beautiful and precise work, 10 stars if they had em! Thanks, Susan!

Im here to report an absolutely fantastic experience with Framing Solutions!I was in need of some custom framework for an accolade I received...Susans consultation was quick and painless as she gave her expert opinion on advice for materials used, color choices, and helped me select the best type of glass for my situation.Despite the holiday season madness, the project was completed on time and exceeded my expectations.10/10 would recommend!Thank you Susan.

I had a very special piece to frame and Susans expertise and talent were invaluable. She created a beautiful frame for my piece but above and beyond that, Susan knew how to best preserve my print. I am so thrilled with the final product and Framing Solutions is the only place I will use for future framing projects!

I was very happy with how my Bud Grant art print turned out. Susan provided great suggestions on the frame, mat color, and glass. I will definitely use her again in the future.

Susan new work on May 11, 2021Just picked up a wonderfully done wedding invitation I had custom designed by Susan. It was a challenging piece to do and Susan outdid herself!! It looks amazing. I know the couple will love it for years to come!!!Susan in September 2021 did an outstanding job of framing an engagement announcement for me for some dear friends of mine. She took a great deal of time with me and offered multiple options and ensured I was satisfied with my choices. It is truly a wonderful piece of work. My friends LOVED it and immediately began looking for the best place to hang it in their home. I highly recommend Susan and her work.

Susan created a wonderful custom frame for me that was beyond expectation. Her passion, creativity, and talent are evident in the finished product. Highly recommend for any custom framing project!

Had a framing project with a tight timeline. Staff was professional, clear, concise and most of all super helpful from start to finish. I have more projects and will definitely use their services again.Thank you for your creativity and making a one of a kind piece, it is awesome!

Susan made my wifes Mothers day gift look even better with her framework. We are very happy with the result and highly recommend her for any framing work you may need. Chris and Paulie

Great to work with Susan and her creative mind. .Attention to detail is one of her strong points. She has so many varieties and choices of framing materials, everyone will find exactly what is best for their project. Thanks for your time and talent, Susan....

Susan was able to locate a vendor shed never worked with to create the frame I wanted. She was in communication throughout the shipping process, and extremely helpful in explaining glass & frame options. The end result was a beautifully framed print. I couldnt be happier.

Love love love Susans personal attention to each individual framing order. Her experience in the art world as well as the framing industry bring top notch results to her work. Highly recommend her services for pictures, photographs, prints or paintings that you truly care about preserving and displaying in your home.

Im incredibly happy I choose Framing Solutions to frame my artwork. Susan was wonderful to work with. I brought in something invaluable to me without a clear idea of how I wanted it framed (other than I wanted a quality final product). She chatted with me, identified my style preferences, and created a beautiful, classy piece I will treasure always. Susan is very personable and easy to work with and her creativity, artistic eye, and skill produce an exceptional product. You will not regret choosing Framing Solutions for any of your framing needs!

Susan was great to work with! She delivered on everything that was promised and my print turned out amazing. I will be a customer for life

I had Susan create a shadow box for a Corvette jacket that was going to be a memorial for a family friend whose father passed away. I entrusted Susan with all the details and I was blown away when I saw the finished product. Thank you Susan for an AWESOME job!!

Susan is a delight! Creative and flexible, she listens and provides as much or as little input as you want. For me, I was pretty clueless so I needed plenty of guidance. Shes very professional and does great work. I highly recommend her!!

Susan was GREAT. Suggested some ways to save a few bucks. She did not have to do that. It speaks to her integrity. Highly recommend her for your Framing Solutions!

I love working with Susan because she as an awesome ability to highlight and preserve my most precious mementos. Susans creative process is engaging and inspiring! Her highly custom framing work and excellent crafts-womanship truly bring to life the significance of each artifact or piece of art. Susan framed a patent and feature magazine article for our home office and her work pops right off the walls - with hand painted detailing on each frame - and selected photos or other images as custom matting. Give Susan - especially if you have fragile pieces that need special handling and care.

Stunning and exceptional quality framing!I cant say enough good things about the art Ive had framed by Susan. My first piece was a painting by a doctor/author/Auschwitz survivor. I was nervous framing such a piece, which Susan intuited yet wasnt threatened. If anything, Susan took time to listen and ask questions to gain perspective for the best possible outcome. I was moved to tears at seeing the finished product upon completion; the result compliments the art more than I could have ever imagined. Susans framing quality is impeccable and heartfelt. She has gained my confidence so much that I wouldnt think to trust another person with my framing needs.

Ive now brought three paintings to Susan for framing and restoration and she has done an absolutely amazing job each time. She has a wonderfully creative mind and a large selection of frames to choose from, so we have a great time playing around with different options and coming up with the perfect frame for each piece. I highly recommend bringing your artistic treasures to Susan to show them off appropriately!

A local artist referred me to Framing Solutions, and like many others, I am glad he did. With an artistic eye and skilled expertise in cleaning & repairing an antique oil painting, Susan created a beautiful transformation. Even with a tiny blunder on the first attempt at a new frame, Susan stood by her guarantee with grace and a smile. She sincerely wanted the best for the painting; she wanted her customer to be pleased. So, from a tired old painting needing TLC to a vibrant fresh art piece I am grateful and beyond pleased. Thanks Susan!

I feel very lucky to have discovered Framing Solutions. Having never framed anything before, I didnt know what to expect or where to begin. Susan guided me through all the various options, adding some really incredible, creative touches. Couldnt be happier with the final pieces as they really captured everything I wanted and look great. I SO recommend this gem of a place for custom framing over a big chain store any day!

So thrilled with my framing experience! Susan is awesome with explaining her process, paying attention to details, and creating a visual masterpiece that will be treasured forever.It was a pleasure to have her work on framing my mothers self-published book. This literary work was something deeply personal to our family, yet it was Susans passion for the framing project that gave the finished product eternal life.Thanks so much Susan - you have a special talent for walking your customers through the process and helping them visualize what you see and are so naturally gifted at.I appreciate you making the framing experience so much fun and I cant wait to deliver a Christmas present this year that will be so meaningful to my mom.

I love coming to Susans place - the whole gallery is gorgeous and you can take a mini break from work while looking at stunning art. Her framing is also amazing. She is an artist in her own right with the work she does to make sure your pieces look perfect. She offers her ideas to help create gorgeous frames so you dont have to be creative, you dont have to even know what you want other than you want a frame! I cant recommend artbarn52, Framing Solutions, and Susan Kaulbars enough.

She restored my old picture/print which was very old and in fragile shape. She did a wonderful job.

Susan re framed a poster from a Hawaiian trip signed by the artist. I had not had it hanging because the frame and map were discolored and out of style. Now it has a new modern look and I am very happy!! Thanks Susan.

What a wonderful store! The owner Susan was so informative. The quality of frames and variety were awesome! If your into Iron, Rustic, Out of this World, Glass, Bold, Big, Petite, Kids, Color, what ever...Im sure she has it - and be sure to check out her art gallery that has some wonderful art pieces! Highly recommend Susan for your next Framing Project!!

This is the first time I’ve ever had something professionally framed — and it’s absolutely worth it! Sue did a fabulous job with an impeccable attention to detail. Highly recommend!

Susan did a fantastic job repairing my DIY framed jersey and taught me a lot about framing in the process. She was kind, knowledgeable, and it felt comfortable to go to her. If I have framing needs in the future I know where to go.

I really appreciate Susans keen eye and attention to detail. She listens to your needs and gives her expert advice. Great place to go for custom framing!

Susan did a phenomenal job framing my art. It was a poster size piece and round. She found just the right frame that made the piece perfect.

Susan was the consummate framing professional, guiding me to a beautiful design in the price range I wanted for two wildlife prints. She is talented, warm, genuine and creative. She shares her talent and suggestions without being bossy. I loved the result and cant wait to surprise my husband with this gift. I will definitely use her again for all my framing projects. I highly recommend Framing Solutions in Bloomington, MN. 5 plus stars!

Im impressed with Susans creativity and enthusiastic approach to challenge of framing a piece of art. Ive done some framing myself and know how difficult it is to get everything right. She is a pro and will get it done for a reasonable price.

I recently had two pieces of art on papyrus framed and love them. Susans creativity with framing is endless. She provides many framing options to choose from and takes her time to make sure you are getting what you really want!

I had called to speak to someone about repairing a dent in one of my art prints before I go though and frame it.Very patient while on the phone with me and my many new to art scene questions. I was given sound advise on how to go about attaining a replacement print from the artist to ensure the one I frame is in premium condition before placed behind glass to enjoy for the rest of my life.If this is how they treat you over the phone I can’t wait to see how it feels to be a customer.

Susan is, first and foremost, a designer - and a good one. We had decided on a framing solution and, as she worked on it, she spent the time to call me with an even better suggestion. There was a slight wrinkle in the needlework and she reframed it to make sure I was happy. It turned out beautifully and I am most grateful.

Susan is the best. She took several pieces of art and turned them into something unique and wonderful. Look no further for your framing needs. She makes spending $ fun. and you can be guaranteed that the results will be excellent.

If youre looking for a framing place with a fun and personable owner who will be easy to work with. Look no further! This is the place for you! Great work, Susan is an amazing person, and youll just feel good about your purchase! I have become a forever customer! Good thing I need lots of framing done in the future.

Susan is great at designing and helping you narrow down to what you want for your project, which is especially helpful when youre faced with so many choices. I brought in a 35-year-old poster of my grandpa that had been rolled up and kept in various places over the years. She was able to flatten it out (mostly) and make it beautiful with the frame and mat choices we made. It took a while to get done, but she kept me updated as to what was going on and the end product was so very much worth the wait and cost of the service. I highly recommend this place.

My heirloom oil painting is giving me so much pleasure these days. Its hanging in the same spot but now you notice it. A viewer can appreciate the details - poppies, walking path, etc. because they can be seen thanks to the removal of years of grime and nicotine plus your restrained touch-up. Im glad you encouraged me to get the frame re-gilded. Money well spent!

Went to get some framing work done. I had no idea what I was doing - Susan took care of it all. It was so good I offered to pay more and she wouldnt even take it. Five Stars from me.

Susan has done a number of projects for me. Beyond beautiful framing, she took a unique music instrument and put it into a display that gets fantastic comments from every person visiting my home. No matter what type of framing or display you are looking for, she can make it happen! Challenge her, youll be amazed at what she can accomplish!

I stopped in at artbarn52 almost by accident when looking for a quick turn around on a photo to be framed as a gift. Boy am I glad I did. Susans thoughtful eye turned the picture into proper memorabilia. The recipient couldnt have been happier with the way Susan matched colors, matted and framed the photo. Ill be back - and recommend you seek out this hidden gem. Its not just about the unique selection of frames she carries, but also her talent in matching them with your art for maximum effect. Thanks, Susan.

Had a comic book framed It turned out great, looks awesome! I will have some other work done. I recommend.

Susan has a great creative eye! We took a very simple framing project into her and she made it very unique and beautiful, a great addition to our clinic! She even got the project completed earlier than expected which was just a cherry on top of an awesome overall experience. If you need help with framing leave it to Susan and shell deliver above and beyond your expectations! Thanks Susan!

Recently utilized the space for a small speaking event. Susan (owner) was amazing and helpful beyond my expectations. The space itself is beautiful (art gallery) and our guests had nothing but positive feedback regarding the venue. Thanks Susan for helping us create a great experience for our guests!

I had my daughter’s artwork framed for a Christmas present at Framing Solutions. Susan did an awesome job framing the picture and also gave me pointers on how to hang the picture easily. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking to have artwork or memorabilia framed!

Susan did a wonderful job listening, then making and explaining suggestions. Her guidance and craftsmanship were valuable in achieving a result I am extremely pleased with.

Susan is as creative as the artists she represents in terms of how she uses her space. I was part of an event at artbarn52 and am looking to create another one there. And she’s fun to work with.

I brought in two diplomas for framing and Susan did an excellent job! She sat down with me and we went through where each diploma would hang and what the decor and individual styles were to determine the appropriate frame and matting. Susan walked me through each step in her process so that I understood how each layer contributed to the overall aesthetic effect.

Susan at Framing Solutions did a fantastic job on a frame for my wifes Birthday! She took it to another level of excellence! Highly recommend her for all your framing needs.

Susan did a fantastic job with our framing project! She worked within our budget and we were so impressed with her attention to detail:) Thank you Susan, we look forward too working with you again!

Susan took all the time we needed for us to be sure of our final choice. In the end we had a beautiful and unique frame for our family heirloom! Pricing was fair and the whole experience was fantastic.

Artbarn52 is such a great place to find art for my home. A great selection of artists. Check out this gallery youll love it.

Working with the owner, Susan, has been amazing. Very friendly, great communication skills, and her work shows for itself. I would highly recommend using her and her shop for your framing project.

Susan Kaulbars, owner of ArtBarn52 | Framing Solution has extensive experience in the framing business, an artists eye to enhance any image, and a collection of unique frames she can custom order to set your image apart. Highly recommended

Susan is such a pleasure to work with. She walks you through choices to make sure you get the best frame for you works.

Susan is great to work with. She has an expert eye to help you choose the frame that will best set off the subject.

Susan takes the guess work out of an idea and brings it to life. She created a one of a kind wedding gift that I cant wait to give! Thanks!!

Susan is a “framers framer”Very knowledgeable & personable & reasonable.Highly recommended 👍

Susan is absolutely amazing at what she does and her framing is absolutely beautiful I would not recommend anyone besides her for your framing needs shes goes above and beyond you wont be disappointed!

Artbarn 52 is such an amazing place both for the amazing art Susan has in the collection and also as a venue is so unique. I volunteer for Minnesota Boxer Rescue and we held a meet and greet here with Susan. There was such a great feel to the venue and Susan was so accommodating to our entire group of volunteers and visitors. Hands down I would recommend Artbarn 52 for unique arts local to MN and as a venue for unique gatherings.

A must for ANYONE looking for a perfect framing solution! Will be back for more!

She is wonderful to collaborate with, giving great insight on how to best display your work.

I came to Artbarn52 with a tough project. Susan went above and beyond what I was asking her to do and the results exceeded what I originally had planned. I cannot wait to hang this art and post the results. I will be getting all of my framing done at Artbarn52 from now on.

The service and expertise from Susan was terrific. She offered solutions to my framing projects that made the artwork look like the museum level quality I was looking for.

Susan is very helpful and goes the extra mile to make things right. My go to place for framing.

Susans perfectionism shows in her final product! She is easy to work with, listens to her customers and has great suggestions!
