🌟 Customer Review Spotlight 🌟

“We couldn’t be happier with the retirement shadow box that Ottawa Picture Framing created for us… The attention to detail, creativity, and craftsmanship exceeded our expectations. Every item was thoughtfully placed, and the finished piece tells a story while looking absolutely stunning.”

Reviews like this mean the world to us. Creating meaningful pieces that celebrate life’s milestones is exactly why we do what we do.

👍 A special thumbs up to Natalie for her exceptional work, professionalism, creativity, and care throughout this project. Her attention to detail helped transform a collection of photos, engineering drawings, keepsakes, and memorabilia into a retirement tribute that will be treasured for years to come.

Thank you for trusting us with such an important piece of someone’s story.

Some of the most interesting pieces we frame come with a story.

This unique artwork was brought back from a customer’s travels, but they weren’t happy with the original backing it was mounted on. Rather than simply framing it as-is, we carefully disassembled the entire piece, preserved every intricate component, and meticulously rebuilt it on a rich dark green linen mat.

The result is a presentation that better highlights the craftsmanship, colours, and details of the artwork while giving it a completely new life.

Custom framing isn’t always about the frame—sometimes it’s about reimagining the entire presentation.

Sometimes the simplest design element makes the biggest impact.

One of our favourite customers shared this photo with us, and we absolutely love it! ❤️

A beautiful metal monogram was already making a statement, but by surrounding it with a custom frame, the entire display becomes more intentional, polished, and visually complete. The frame helps define the space, draws your eye to the artwork, and turns it into a true focal point on the wall.

Custom framing isn’t always about preserving artwork behind glass. Sometimes it’s about adding that perfect finishing touch that takes a display from nice to wow.

Thank you for sharing this beautiful example with us!

Does anyone else instantly think of Grandma’s kitchen when they see this? ❤️

The smell of fresh bread, cookies cooling on the counter, flour dusting every surface, and the sound of someone saying, “Have another piece, dear.”

Some of our best memories are tied to simple moments around the kitchen table—family recipes, Sunday baking, and sneaking a treat before dinner.

This charming vintage-inspired Bakery piece captures all that warm nostalgia and would look perfect in a kitchen, dining room, bakery, café, or cottage.

🚚✨ Sometimes customer service means going the extra mile… and sometimes it means driving to Toronto. 😅

A scheduling mistake on our end meant these pieces wouldn’t be ready in time for our client’s trip — and since they were meant to be gifted, “sorry” just wasn’t good enough for us.

So we packed them up, buckled them in safely, and hit the road. Because when you trust us with something important, we take that seriously.

At Ottawa Picture Framing, customer satisfaction isn’t just a slogan — it’s a commitment. Even if it means a highway delivery run. 💙🖼️

Gallery walls are where personality meets creativity. ✨

Mixing frame styles, shapes, colours, and textures can turn a simple wall into a statement piece that feels collected over time — not copied from a catalogue. From rustic woods to sleek black frames and bold focal pieces, the magic is in the layering.

And the best part? There are no strict rules.
Symmetrical, eclectic, modern farmhouse, vintage-inspired — if it makes you smile when you walk by, it works.

Pro tip: Start with one statement piece (like this deer mount 🦌) and build outward using smaller frames to create balance and movement.

Need help designing a gallery wall that actually looks intentional instead of chaotic? We LOVE helping customers put them together.

Choosing the perfect frame is part of the story. ✨

For this graduation portrait, every detail was carefully considered — from the rich chocolate suede matting to the delicate metallic accent and dramatic ornate frame. The final result feels timeless, elegant, and deeply personal.

A beautiful reminder that custom framing isn’t just about protecting a photo… it’s about honouring a memory. 🤎

What do you think of the final design?

Delicate. Textural. Completely unexpected. ✨
These stunning reeds aren’t painted or printed… they’re handcrafted from glass. Framed with soft natural tones and layered textures, this piece feels both modern and organic at the same time.

It’s the kind of artwork that quietly stops people in their tracks the closer they look. 🌾

Custom framing can turn even subtle artwork into a statement piece — and this one proves it beautifully.

Some photos deserve more than a drawer. ❤️

This beautiful portrait of a little girl and her pony had been tucked away for years — until now. Framed with soft linen matting and warm wood tones, it’s gone from forgotten to featured.

The best part of custom framing isn’t just making something look beautiful… it’s bringing memories back into everyday life.
