At Quality Frames & Art, meticulous staff members gingerly unfurl customers' art before smoothing it into place inside a custom-made frame or eco-friendly molding from Larson-Juhl. Interior-design power teams of mats and frames transform posters into easy-to-hang art, and sleek modern or decadent baroque molding convinces mirrors to gleam brighter than a comet after a dental appointment. The team can preserve memories by encasing jewelry, instruments, and other collectibles in striking shadowboxes for vintage flair. In addition to matting and mounting photos, staff members can repair clients' damaged frames and cracked glass. For patrons robing their walls from scratch, the shop also stocks paintings by more than a dozen local artists, including landscapes, portraits, and still-life scenes.

My Rug Dealer’s online store unfurls a wealth of fine floor coverings from Milliken, one of the oldest and most respected textile companies in the United States.

Traditional Persian-style prints can add a touch of class to foyers and dining rooms, and novelty football-field rugs can brighten up playrooms or enable reenactments of famous olive-oil-prank fumbles in 1:1,000 scale. Each American-made rug guards against stains with a 100% Stainmaster nylon weave, protecting the bright patterns from the wear and tear of regular floor traffic and blemishes of frequent spillage.
