A designer's eye, door to door.
Gabriela picks the piece up from your home, designs the framing with real materials in hand, has it crafted by framing ateliers she has personally vetted, and delivers it back ready to hang. One fee model underneath all of it.
Plain numbers, stated up front.
The design engagement
Every project begins here. It covers Gabriela's in-home consult and door-to-door pickup and delivery, acts as the retainer, and is the service minimum.
Standard framing design
Art, prints, photography, documents, and diplomas.
Complex framing design
Shadowboxes, jerseys, textiles, and other three-dimensional pieces.
Identical repeats
The same approved design, applied again. Think diploma sets and print series.
Gallery wall composition
$85 for a uniform layout, $225 for a custom composition, plus the per-piece design fees.
Whole-home curation
For collections of roughly ten pieces or more, quoted custom.
Every project begins with a $150 design engagement, which includes Gabriela's in-home consultation and door-to-door pickup and delivery. Each piece is then $75 (standard) or $150 (shadowbox and specialty), with framing materials billed separately at retail. Identical repeat pieces are $25 each. Example: one standard piece is a $225 design fee plus materials.
Good framing takes weeks, not days. Here is how they are spent.
3 to 4 weeks
Pickup to delivery: a day or two to design, then two to four weeks of labor at the trade shop. Labor-intensive pieces, like shadowboxes, can run longer.
Rush, when needed
Rush is available. A rushed design draws only on Houston-based frame vendors, so the selection is narrower than our usual range.
Travel
No travel fee in Houston and the immediate surrounding areas. Farther suburbs, like The Woodlands, carry one for pickup and drop-off.
If it matters to you, it deserves a frame designed for it.
Art & Prints
Paintings, prints, photography, and works on paper, framed for the wall they will hang on.

Archival by default, careful in transit.
Fabrication happens at trade ateliers Gabriela has personally vetted and works with closely, with the full range of conservation materials:
- Wood frames
- Paper mats
- Fabric mats & liners
- Floater frames for canvases
- Shadowbox frames
- Fillets
- Archival-grade glass options
In transit, your piece rides in a heavy-duty protective envelope. If it arrives to us already framed, it stays in its original frame until the atelier is ready to work on it.
A $150 base covers your in-home consult, pickup, and delivery. From there it's a per-piece design fee (Standard $75, Complex/3D $150), plus materials priced separately.
Ready when the piece is.
