Greetings!

The Secret About Stacking...

The trend today in picture framing and interior design is all about "Stacking" frames.  Not to brag.....but we will..... AFT has been using this design technique for years.  In fact we have won awards for our stacked frame designs.  Bring your artwork in and we will show you how stunning, a stacked frame design will make your treasure look!  

We create  
an AFT Style 
design by stacking
mouldings together.



Stacking a combination of frames will bring two different styles together resulting in a one-and-only, AFT Styled piece.







AFT designers will show you how to create a custom shadowbox by stacking frames for your special objects
.

We always design and build each piece as if we were going to display it in our own home.


AFT Tip 1 - A perfect merger

Have you fallen for two different frames and each happens to work with your treasure in its own special way? Let us bring them together by stacking them and creating a AFT Custom look just for you!  It is a tricky balance, but we've got our tricks here at AFT.

      



AFT Tip 2 - Thinking BIG for small items

Your smallest items will become your family's biggest loves when we frame them in a dramatic stacked design! It is counter intuitive, but it works.....we've done it many times before.  Allow us to show you.




AFT Tip 3 - Thinking out of the box

Your friends and family will swoon over your newest piece when we take your custom design out of the box and stack one frame on TOP of another to create the depth and drama you and your art desire.

 

Another AFT trick to give two dimension art, a three dimensional look.   

 

Bring it in, we'll show you.
