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 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!

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 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.

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!

Review №21

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.

Review №22

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.

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.

Review №38

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 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!

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.

She even got the project completed earlier than expected which was just a cherry on top of an awesome overall experience.

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.
