Mary Anne has helped us several times, most recently she helped me choose a frame for my daughters graduation portrait, which took a long time because it had to go with the three previous frames for my other children. She was great - spent a lot of time helping me look for the frame that would coordinate well, and we found it! Great service, beautiful final product and she is a lovely person!

Absolutely the finest frame shop in the Triangle area bar none. I would shop at no other for Mary Anne is delightfully witty and a perfectionist in her work. Her staff is amazingly confident and entertaining and kind.She is competitively priced, a very smart business owner and a pillar of the Durham and Chapel Hill community giving her time and effort to many charitable causes.I am including a photo of a wonderful and professionally framed painting she artfully crafted for myself and my spouse as a wedding gift.Mary Anne chose a beautiful distressed walnut frame and matching mat.Its a cheery and inviting workplace and innerspace, easily accessible and comfortable and efficiently managed by her excellent framesman and herself.I would recommend none other. Thank you Framers Market!Jeff

I cant say enough good things about Framers Market. Mary Anne has a level of expertise that is uncommon in this day and age. From her unique perspective on design to her skilled craftsmanship, this is a first class custom frame shop.It is unusual to find someone that takes the time to understand their customer on a deeper level in order to create something that is more personal and meaningful. You dont just do business with Mary Anne, you become a part of her world and she thoughtfully and effortlessly invites you right in.

I am pleased to offer my review on this business. Framers Market and Gallery is one of the best kept secrets in Chapel Hill, at least it was to me. Mary Anne and her staff are experts in the area of framing, design, fashion, color connections, fit and feng shui. Customer service is excellent, their ability to hear a customers request and exceed expectations is certainly beneficial, especially since the customer is limited with understanding what it takes to bring a vision to reality. In addition to great business acumen, Framers Market & Gallery is a business that cares about the community. They provide guidance, volunteer hours, materials and resources to improve and enhance community projects. I have had the opportunity to work with them on several community events. They are eager to meet the needs and answer the call whether closing a business deal or creating memorabilia for a grieving loved one. The owner is truly an icon in the community and a mentor to business owners of all ages and backgrounds.To summarize this review I will say that if you are looking for an expert in to assist with your framing, photo restoration or preservation needs, you will not be disappointed with the quality of service you can find at the Framers Market and Gallery. I have had some extremely interesting requests and each one has been filled, from framing a warped poster to creating a money tree, to assisting with a legacy project, THE ANSWER IS YES! Trust me, you will never have to think about where to take your precious items after you stop by Framers Market and Gallery... Your Framers for life. Stop by and say hello... Tell them DENEANE sent you!

Mary Annes artists eye was key to the successful completion of our project as she worked with me through several plan revisions to bring the frame for our large piece of art into our price range. Her work is superb, her spirit of service exemplary, and her warm friendliness make it a true joy to work with her. You wont be disappointed.

There work is outstanding! We had a frame with my parents marriage certificate in the center and then two pictures of my parents on each side. The frame and work was over the top and professionally done. They were super friendly and got it done within our short time window. Highly recommend them and will use them again in the future.

I found an old bumper sticker like the one my mom had when we were kids. I thought framing it would be nice but had no idea where to begin. I walked in towards closing time, and Mary was so kind and patient. She offered all these ideas and we tried a few different frame types and colors and mattings until I found one I liked. They were quick and very well priced. And my mom absolutely loves the framed If God is not a Tar Heel, then why is the sky Carolina Blue? framing!

Mary Anne treats everything that is brought in to her store for framing as reverentially as if it were her own personal family heirloom. She takes time to really listen to the story behind whatever someone is bringing in for framing, and it is this careful listening that so beautifully guides her as she helps customers select what framing will best showcase their items. You could certainly take your things and have them framed decently at any number of places, but there is equally certainly nowhere besides the Framers Market and Gallery that you could take them to be framed with such thoughtfulness. In addition, Mary Anne never lets a piece of work leave her store without it being perfect. There is such exquisite attention to detail that the quality of the work is unmistakable.

This framing business FRAMERS MARKET and GA:LLERY is remarkable for a number of reasons. The owner, Mary Anne, has an enormous amount of expertise in helping a neophyte like me pick the right frame for the particular photo or piece of art.In addition, the frame selection is wonderful: so many choices of both contemporary and traditional.Mary Anne is patient and she gets that you, in my case, lack a skill set for choosing a frame for a nostalgic family picture or a modern work of art. She TAKES THE TIME to walk you through such a decision. She is gifted in her dedication to customer service. It feels like HOME when you enter her shop because she is so kind, caring and engaged in whatever I might be asking to be framed.

I have used this business to frame all of my art work for the past 20+ years. I rely on the owners expertise and she never fails to please. Her skills at visualizing what the end product will look like are superior. I have taken her originals, prints, art from my travels, and, most recently, an acorn ! The acorn had great sentimental value and, incredibly, they turned it into something I can have on my walls and cherish for the rest of my life.You will not be disappointed.

The Framers Market and Gallery is a gem! Your art, photos or collections are framed professionally with a quality and flare that can not be found anywhere else. Not only is the work top notch, the owner understands and respects the emotional value of the items you bring in to be framed.I have had photos, paintings and old artwork, that had been framed improperly, restored and reframed.I have had old photos completely restored and framed as well as new creations framed!Mary Anne, the owner, can be trusted to listen to your needs, ideas and to safeguard your art while in her possession.

There are so many good things to say about my experiences with the Framers Market and Gallery. The first thing you notice when you go there is the warm and friendly atmosphere. Mary Anne, the owner, is very welcoming to everyone, especially to children. Parents, anxious about having their young children in the midst of many fragile objects, are quickly put at ease. They are then better able to focus on the many frame options.Mary Anne is extremely skilled in her craft, her vision, and her customer service. The Framers Market and Gallery has a large assortment of frames for sure, but the personal service Mary Anne provides for her customers is so much more. Mary Anne takes the time to learn the story behind the treasure she will be framing, where it will be hanging, the color scheme of the room, etc. Somehow, then an instant connection takes place, and the customers treasure becomes Mary Annes treasure. As someone else wrote here, Mary Anne treats each treasure placed in her care as if it were her own.Mary Anne is a perfectionist, and the quality of her work exceeds expectation. I have had multiple things framed, a circular rug mounted for hanging, many photos restored, and I have always been wowed by the outcome. Mary Annes work in photo restoration is very impressive. The difference between the original photo and the restored photo is nothing short of amazing. My siblings and I are so grateful to have restored photos of our grandparents. All of them died before we were born.I have recommended the Framers Market to many folks, including some in high places. Each and every person has been extremely pleased with Mary Annes work.So, if you need to have something framed, mounted, restored, put in a shadowbox, or are in the market for some beautiful art work, visit the Framers Market and Gallery. You will be so happy you did, and you will find yourself going back again and again.

Framers Market and Gallery did a superb job matting and framing a large photograph that I gave to my daughter and son-in-law as an anniversary gift. The prices are reasonable, and the workmanship is excellent. I highly recommend them!

We had some precious pictures and an original poster framed and were impressed by the quality of the work, the attention to detail and the care with which our precious items were handled. They were ready when predicted and are proudly hung on our walls.

I had a picture my daughter painted in 6th grade. It had been rolled up and moved many times. Since it was 36 years old with lots of creases I wasnted sure what could be done with it. I found Framers Market and Gallery and found a treasure. I was amazed when I picked up the framed picture. The frame they used was matched perfectly to highlight the picture. All of the years of abuse of the picture were not visible. It now hands in her office. Since then I have used Framers Market for restoration, cleaning of early 1900s, and coping of old pictures. If you want quality and knowing your treasures are in good hands go to Framers Market and Gallery.

Framers Market has framed a number of pictures for me providing excellent advice on the perfect frame and mat to complement the picture. The most miraculous thing they have done is restore a wedding photo before my husband faded out of the picture - LOL
