Owner/framer Bob Woodrum has worked in frame shops and galleries since 1989. Initially, it was a way to stay employed while running off to tour with bands - always having a home base to come back to. In 2005, Bob and his wife bought a little fixer in the sweetest Sausalito neighborhood and opened up their own frame shop across town. Ten years and two kids later, Sausalito Picture Framing & Printing continues to thrive and is known for delivering the best looking framing around. Printer/co-owner, Teri Lang is a former documentary filmmaker working long hours and doing everything from getting coffee to producing docs for TV and theatrical release. Single image - instead of the moving image - is Teri’s craft of choice these days and her sidekick is the 44” Epson sitting next to her computer.
The cost of framing a picture depends on a number of different variables. Firstly, you need to decide whether or not you want a custom solution or one off the shelf. If you opt for an off the shelf solution, the price will be significantly lower but so will the quality. For a custom solution, the materials you use, the city you’re in and most importantly the size of the piece will have an impact on the price. As an example, a 50cm x 50cm piece with a border could cost anything from €70 up to as much as €500 depending on the design and the materials you choose.

Frame colour is completely dependent on the piece itself and what colours/finishes will complement it. Another factor is the overall look you’re going for in the space the piece will be displayed. For a subtle look, try going for stained wood, white or black frames. If you want something that stands out more, why not try pulling out a key colour from the piece and colour-match the frame to it.
Mat colour is completely dependent on the piece itself and what colours will complement it. If in doubt it is always best to go for a white or off-white to allow the piece to sing, but if you’re feeling a bit more adventurous you can try pulling out one of the more subtle colours in the piece to really make it pop.
