Kate is an angel. She worked with me on a birthday gift for my husband. My husband lost his father in 2013, after a brief and unrelenting battle with cancer. He didn’t get the chance to leave anything behind and this was something my husband has commented on from time to time, he also mentioned how much he wished his Dad could have met our son. The kind of loss and grief that ebbs and flows forever, something only those who have lost someone knows too well. I wanted to give him something to honor his Dad and who he’s become as a father. All I had was scraps of an idea: an old letter his father wrote when my husband was in high school about all of his hopes he had for his own son, the hope he’d one day have a grandchild whose hand he could hold who looked just like my husband, and photos. Our son looks just like his Dad. Kate took those scraps, magically prophetic, and turned them into a beautiful complete piece. Something we’ll treasure forever.

Read moreI had a picture of myself from a beauty pageant I won 30 years ago. During my moving process, the frame got severely damaged. I was lucky that the picture itself didn’t sustain any damage. I waited before getting a new frame, knowing I was going to get new furniture before deciding to have the picture reframed. Kate is a phenomenal businesswoman. She provides her customers with personalized service and pays close attention to details. One cannot help but gravitate towards her upbeat and positive personality. She’s excellent at offering suggestions to make sure your framing and mat is a fit with your decor. I recommend this business highly. I could have stayed there for hours just admiring the unique and extensive selection of frames and other accessories. I will be returning to this business so that Kate can reframe art that I cherish. If you want keepsakes framed in a professional and top quality manner, I’d suggest that you visit the A Gallery West. I can assure you that you won’t be disappointed. Thanks for...
Read moreA large picture that used to belong to my dad was damaged when it fell off the wall. I was absolutely heart broken for the picture meant so much to my dad and to me. I had a choice of "trying to fix the original " or getting a new frame ...I really wanted to keep everything from the original with the understanding it may not turn out perfect. Long story short it turned out perfect and even better. I am so appreciative of the restoration and quality of the workmenship. Thank you...
