Custom Framing

Custom frames are the only solution for the infinite variety of objects that you may want to hang in your home or office. ReFrame specializes in green framing options for any type of painting, textile, object, photo, or certificate. As the manufacturer of BloomingFrames, a designer moulding line made from locally-sourced reclaimed hardwoods, ReFrame invests in local craftsmanship and local products. The store also offers a full line of ecologically-friendly vendor frames. Staffed by friendly, knowledgeable designers, Reframe stands ready to help you with any project you have in mind.

Readymades

Many photos, certificates, diplomas, and awards are printed in standard sizes. For these projects, ReFrame offers readymade frames available in standard sizes. With readymades, ReFrame has frames for any budget. If custom framing is overkill for a project, choose a readymade shell and customize it with your choice of mat and glass. You can take the frame home, or have the expert framers fit up your piece. Shop online for readymade BloomingFrames in our most popular hardwoods, sizes, and finishes.

Vintage Frames

Repurposing an old frame is the greenest way to put together a new project. Just because something is used doesn't mean that you throw it away. ReFrame offers a selection of gently used and reconditioned frames as a readymade option. Some of these frames feature images and advertisements from old print media, magazines, and newspapers. These make unique, funny, and interesting gift items. The vintage frames are one-of-a-kind, so the stock is always changing. Stop by frequently to see what's new.

Preservation

As Bloomington's premiere picture framer, ReFrame focuses on processes, techniques, and products that enhance the value of the work without damaging the art. The services offered by big-box stores cannot compare to the longevity and durability provided by a preservation-trained framer. ReFrame guarantees the craftsmanship in their projects. When you frame with ReFrame, you know the piece will be protected from the ravages of time.

Conservation, Restoration, and Appraisal

ReFrame provides frame restoration in-house with their skilled craftsmen. ReFrame works with conservation and restoration specialists to repair damage to fine art, and art objects. Clients have brought everything from 200-year old documents, water damaged paintings, and century-old fabric pieces that our consulting specialists have been able to conserve and restore.

Local Arts, Local Artists

ReFrame works with local artists to promote Bloomington and Southern Indiana's vibrant arts scene, in town and to the rest of the world. For clients who want to buy local art, ReFrame maintains portfolios on site for local artists and matches clients' tastes with the most appropriate artist's work. For local artists, ReFrame hosts a free Portfolio Sharing Happy Hour at the Crazy Horse from 7 pm – 9 pm on the second Tuesday of each month. Whether you are an experienced artist or new to the Bloomington scene, you can benefit by networking and sharing insights with other arts professionals in a friendly, relaxed atmosphere.

Every week this year, ReFrame features a different local artist interview on our blog. For each Artist of the Week, ReFrame offers a 10% discount on framing for any print or original work by that artist. Subscribe to our blog to know when your favorite local artist will be featured!.
