Greetings!

September means back to school for many - and also marks the perfect time to begin redecorating your home after a whirlwind of a summer.

We have added some great new mouldings to our collection at Studio 3. The Sorrento and Madison collections are itching to make their debut in your home this fall.

Be sure to keep connected with us by visiting our blog and following us on twitter.

In lieu of Labor Day Weekend we will be CLOSED Saturday, September 5th.

New! PEFC certified moulding

Studio 3 is proud  to present  The Sorrento Collection by  Larson-Juhl. The Sorrento Collection is a PEFC certified collection which stands for Program for the Endorsement of Forest Certification, which traces the chain of custody of lumber product from forest to final product. Through PEFC, consumers can be confident that they are purchasing a product that is from a well-managed, sustainable forest.

"Part of Larson-Juhl's mission statement has always been to improve the world we live in, and I'm proud to say Larson-Juhl has a long history of being environmentally responsible," says Larson-Juhl President and CEO, Steve McKenzie. "We now, however, realize that being green is only part of the story. In addition to the environment, when we think of our world's resources, people and financial resources are also extremely important."

recycle iconLarson-Juhl has been awarded chain-of-custody environmental certifications for moulding and matboard products from two worldwide organizations, Program for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC) and Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). The Biltmore™ Frame Collection and Sorrento by Larson-JuhlŽ is PEFC certified and The Artique Biltmore™ Collection of Solid Color Core matboards is FSC certified.

Third party independent auditors oversee harvesting through manufacturing, distribution, and sales to ensure that a product is certified as claimed and validate a chain-of-custody certification. Products that achieve certification can feature the logo and unique certification number designated to the company to prove validation.

Since 1991, support from Larson-Juhl has funded the planting of over a quarter million trees in Global ReLeaf ecosystem restoration projects around the world. The 2007 donation raises the total number of trees planted on behalf of Larson-Juhl to 300,500.

Stop by Studio 3 today to view this brand-new collection offered from Larson Juhl.

The Animal Print Shop

 Being a sucker for animals (come meet our two shop dogs, Trooper and Ammo, at Studio 3), I completely fell in love with photographer Sharon Montrose's photographs. She has such a clean/crisp approach to capturing her favorite subject, animals. And I doubly love the way she's chosen to frame all of her pieces. The crisp whiteness of the frames and matting really make the photographs stand out. Her personal bio reads:

I'm a commercial photographer and author specializing in animals, kids, and babies. I shoot for ad agencies, design firms, magazines, and book publishers. I'm not above reality TV and I can smell french fries from a mile away.

She sells an array of large limited edition animal prints on her website called the Animal Print Shop, but if huge isn't your style be sure to check out her Etsy store for smaller prints and products.

And for a good read (or photo) be sure to check out her blog! Bring in one of Sharon Montrose's photographs for framing at Studio 3 and get $10 off the total custom framing cost for the month of September.
