We get a lot of signed NFL jerseys.”Items such as those require a shadow box, where the glass cap covers the item.Enter the shop and a long, wide counter allows for artwork to be laid out and various frame options tested.”We spend a long time with the client,” Rolen said.Scott Vollmer, a Realtor, often takes pictures of his clients when he hosts them in a private suite at The Joint at the Hard Rock Hotel.

Then I had a doctor client, and he had a patient who was one of Elvis’ co stars in ‘Blue Hawaii.’ And this lady is now in her 70s. And the doctor brought in a picture for me to frame to go in his office. It’s of this co star with Elvis, on the set of ‘Blue Hawaii,’ so he had that framed.

It can also be programmed to do cutouts.Framing options include ornate designs, glittered styles, metal and wood. Men will sometimes go for a more rustic look, while women want a more contemporary style, Rolen said. Some art begs for a mat to separate it from the frame, so the shop carries many styles. Some are fabric. All the elements have to work together, she said.”Generally, people in Las Vegas like the contemporary frame. They have contemporary homes, so they go for a flat, very clean look,” Rolen said. “Designing is tricky because you want the client to be happy with (the end result). It’s going to be on their wall for a long time.”.Articles Connexes：
