We operate multiple manufacturing facilities in Richmond, KY , Stanton KY, Winchester, VA and our newest location in Henderson, NV,  that allow us to deliver a high-quality custom product at an affordable price with a quick turnaround. We exist, grow, and ultimately own the market by delighting customers who trust and value us.

What we do (that you’ll be a part of!):

At our manufacturing studio, our team is responsible for creating and assembling customer orders from our Retail stores and online business.  These may include beautiful pieces of timeless art, mounting a piece of clothing or a tapestry, or framing an unforgettable photo from an unforgettable moment.  Our team processes the orders from custom technology, measures all the inputs to the highest quality, and mounts and frames the art with pristine perfection.  They then work with our manufacturing and warehouse teams to cut the molds, wood and glass (all with saws and CNC machinery), and package and ship it back to our customers.  We are a detail-oriented team who work with our hands all day to ensure our customers’ prized possessions are taken care of and that the end product surpasses expectations.
