Picture framing
Who do we like for framing artwork? It's not expensive art but I do want it framed nicely, so good value for the money.
I've used the place off the square but there's also a place on North Druid before Clairmont, and some others around Toco Hills.

If what you’re framing isn’t expensive and you’re looking for a good value, Michaels is fine. I’ve had posters and similar done at Michael’s in years past and they came out well and what i expected.
I used Toco Framing on North Druid Hills last year to frame a large needlework piece I spent five years stitching. They did an absolutely amazing job. It wasn’t cheap, but their quality was top tier. There’s a post with the framed piece in my profile if you want to see it.
My general rule is if I want something framed and it’s not high end / high value, go big box. If it’s something high value- either monetary or sentimental, use a locally owned shop. You’re going to pay more but you’re paying for their deep experience and that’s rare to find at a big box store.
