Cheap Tricks: Skip The Frame Shop

I hang a lot of art in my house. Some are pieces I painted. Others are prints and paintings I've found over the years.

I learned long ago to skip the frame shop. Their frames are beautiful but high dollar even for the plain ones.

Instead, I focus on thrift stores and garage sales. Even if I don't need a specific frame, if I see something extra special I snap them up for some future display.

Save the frame shop for difficult to size art. Most art is standard so it's easy to find a nice frame at the racks at Goodwill.
