Pat's Favorite Things

Oh, it's that time again! Favorite projects … hmmmm…

Michael Susman & Lanette Stigsen; we have framed several projects for them, but what they decided upon for above their fireplace, was thinking outside of the box. They purchased 2 of the same print, framed the same way, and hung them in a vertical orientation. How fun!


Lynn Martin, former congressman for the Chicago area, had some badly damaged memorabilia (Regan years) from her days in Washington. It was sad to see the damage, but to see (and read) the human element of these historical events was awesome.

Bob & Kay Welsh purchased a large TV for their traditional living space. It hung above a beautiful antique burl wood writing table, so naturally, the TV way much too prominent. We framed the TV in an antique looking burl wood frame, with the same tones as the table. The result? Two pieces of furniture that look like they belong together.

We host the ARTability event for Opportunity Enterprises every year. That in itself is pleasure enough, but we also frame the paintings that their clients paint. This is the first year that I have been in charge of the frame designs, and again, what a pleasure it was.




Kristin Brogan's son is a medal winning swimmer. He is autistic, and swimming has been his specialty. We have framed several of his medals; most recently the several he earned at the Special Olympics. Way to Go, Ryan!
