As promised, I have a great source for custom matboards. I've been making some changes to our family room that included paint, and fresh accessories. For too long now the space behind our sofa was a blank wall. I knew that I wanted something fairly large there, but wasn't sure what.
I decided on a set of three frames with larger mats. I really like the graphic pop of the black frames with the large white mat. Now that our walls are Worldly Gray and now longer White Dove, I really wanted something that would stand out, but not be too busy. I looked at several framing options and decided to buy the frames from Michael's. I priced out having the mats custom cut there, but before committing, I decided to explore all options. Why pay more if you don't have too? I found several sources online and went with this one. Basically, I bought three mats for the price of one custom cut mat from Micheal's. It is a wholesale service, so I had to purchase a certain amount in order to get the deal. No problem, because we always need mats. The process was very easy allowing you to choose the color and size you need. I ordered the mats on Monday and they arrived Friday!
For now, I have botanicals in the frames that I printed from The Biodiversity Heritage Library. Have you heard of it?
You will find so many beautiful images that it will be hard to choose! Eventually, I will put "real" art in the frames, but for now I'm enjoying the botanicals.
