I'll be the first to admit that here at Esprit Decor, we're picky. We curate each of the several thousand corner samples we carry. Lots don't make the cut (if you'll pardon the expression) because they're not good enough...for you. That's why we dont carry plastic mouldings, even though they're cheaper, because they are cheaper. They might make it in a hotel room, or at a convention, but not in your home. 1/8" fun-house mirror? No thanks. Regular glass that will let harmful light rays damage your precious artwork? No way. How about regular paper mats that will become acidic and burn that lovely monoprint you picked up on your last trip to Paris? Sorry, but we have to pass. Only 100% rag boards, or pure alphacellulose matboard are good enough for your project.

And if you think we're picky with the maaterials we specify at the front counter, it should please you to know that we're equally picky in the back room, where the magic occurs. Our computerized mat cutter cuts your mats to a precision of a thousandth of an inch. We use an underpinner made in France to join your frames so ther are no putty holes to be seen anywhere. Many shops order their frames pre-cut from the distributor, but we don't, because we want to make sure they are as perfect as can be. We have a huge double mitre picture framing saw that's designed specifically to cut picture frames, and nothing else.

Which brings us for the reason for today's post.
