Custom framing
Thousands of frame styles, expert advice and conservation framing, with every piece built on site in Historic Downtown Snohomish.
Overview
Avenue D Gallery offers full-service custom framing with all work done on site. Choose from thousands of framing options, from simple, affordable poster frames to elaborate and ornate mouldings.
Bring in a painting, a print, a photograph or a family keepsake and we'll help you choose the moulding, mat and glass that suit both the piece and the room it's going in. Customers often tell us how patiently we walk through the options, including less expensive alternatives that look just as good.
Some pieces need more than a good look. For anything you want protected and preserved, from original art to heirlooms and fabric, we offer conservation framing. Conservation framing generally uses acid-free materials and careful mounting so the frame itself doesn't harm the work over time.
Stop by Tuesday through Saturday, 10am to 6pm. There's no appointment needed, and the estimate is free.

I highly recommend getting your custom framing here. They do museum quality framing at 1/2 the price or less than the art stores. This time he even went above and beyond and put an art print excerpt on the back of the frame. I know our daughter will cherish and keep this beautiful piece with her throughout her life.
I had a terrific experience here. I came in with about 8 paintings/prints and had no idea what I wanted to do with them with respect to the framing. Doug walked me through the process patiently. I naturally gravitated to the most expensive frames and he consistently pointed out all of the less expensive similar options. The result was exceptional. I have another 6 or so paintings I will be taking there soon. I highly recommend Avenue D. Doug made me comfortable, I felt like he really listened to what I wanted and made recommendations that were beautiful. I didn’t feel rushed or like he was trying to “up-sell” me in any way. If you need any framing, this is the place to go.
I had a terrific experience working with Doug. I came to him with a handful of architectural watercolor designs that I now have hanging in our studio in Pike Place Market. As an architect and interior designer, I was particular about the frame, the matting, and the glass. Doug was really great to work with and his craftsmanship was terrific. He had subtle ways to match the frame sizes on the larger vertical watercolors (see photos). He worked with imperfections of the watercolor medium—in this case employing a double matte border to really make everything sing. He is also just a genuinely nice guy. I highly recommend!
I cannot say enough good things about Doug and the gallery. He is so patient, knowledgeable and fun to talk to that he always makes the customer experience a great one. I know next to nothing on pricing, but Doug is very diligent and respectful with his products and their price and I always feel like I’m in great hands. He was a huge help on the Justin Hillgrove collection because the art/borders were all slightly different sizes. He did some magic with the numbers and it turned out wonderful. I can’t wait to get my hands on some more art and come back!
