At Posterity Art & Framing Gallery, we know that every piece you bring to us—whether it’s fine art, family photos, textiles, or treasured keepsakes—carries a personal story. Custom framing is more than choosing a frame and mat; it’s about preserving your memories so they last a lifetime. To help you care for your artwork at home, we’ve put together our best custom framing tips and tricks, including special guidance for the cold winter months here in Michigan.

When it comes to showcasing your treasured artwork, photographs, or memorabilia, nothing beats the personal touch of expert framing services. Whether you’re looking to preserve a family heirloom, highlight a stunning piece of local art, or add a splash of personality to your home or office, custom framing is the way to go.

It’s a question we hear often at Posterity Art & Framing Gallery: “Can I repurpose my old frame?” The short answer is—in many cases! Reusing a frame you already own can be a wonderful way to preserve a favorite style, reuse a sentimental heirloom, or save money. However, not every old frame is fit for reuse. To ensure your artwork is properly protected and displayed for years to come, your frame must meet certain standards.

Why choose custom framing for preservation over buying a store bought frame and the process of custom framing explained.
