How do I frame my old family photographs?

Family photographs

Before framing your old family photographs consider having copies made for a record and to share with other family members. You can also have cherished, damaged photos restored with the same process. It is nice to mark the photos with the date, location, who is in the photos and the family relationship, so future generations can identify them. Bear in mind anything that is done to the back of a photo or any other work of art will eventually effect the front. Instead make an extra copy or mark the back of the framed photo.

   
When should I reframe my art?

Reframing

Works on paper that have been framed for over 15 years sould be checked for conservation and if necessary reframed. More valuable pieces that have been glued down or have other conservation concerns can be addressed by a good restorer.

   
How do I hang a growing collection?

Salon Hanging

Not enough wall space for your growing collection-consider "salon hanging". Hang your artwork from floor to ceiling as the galleries do or the way you may hang family photos. To accomplish this find a common element and mix another. For example, you may select pieces of the same style and mix media or frame choices. This way the selection will be purposeful and interesting.

   
What is an inexpensive way to change the look of a room?

Rotating your artwork

A simple way to change the decor of your home or a room is to try buying a new piece of art as the seasons change and rotate the location of some of the pieces you have in the house. You will see the work in a new way and give a room a new look without great expense or effort.

   
Are there different types of reproductions?

Hand Painted Oil Reproductions

What if I don´t like what I am advised is a good investment?

Art as investment alone
