Vintage ATL

We've had multiple pictures of all sizes framed with Vintage ATL and they have all been wonderful. JP is great at guiding you based on the look and feel you want for your piece and he has a big selection of options.

I can't tell you how much I wanted to give JP 5 stars based on my initial contact with him. This is a review for a job he did a few months ago, while he was at the end of his lease on Flat Shoals Ave. The job was just custom-cutting 3 mats for 3 store-bought frames I already had. We had a great conversation about Atlanta, its arts scene, development around town, etc. Since my job (and artwork) was so small, he offered to save me some money by using leftover pieces of a high-quality archival mat board. Very helpful. We discussed that one mat in particular was to be given as a gift that Sunday to a visiting relative, and he assured me it would be ready for pickup by Friday or Saturday at the latest. Sadly, no call until the following Wednesday. Minus one star. The mats all look great, but the way they were done really shocked me: we discussed the artwork being hinged to the back matboard. I've only seen it done this way with the front mat window hinged at the top to the back mat, so that you can lift the front window and see the artwork attached to the back mat with photo corners. What I received was the artwork completely sealed between the two pieces of matboard. Like, permanently sandwiched and trapped between the front window and the back piece of matboard. Which means I can only re-frame the artwork into another frame of exactly the same size. And if anything happens to the matboard, the artwork would have to be rescued with an exacto knife, thereby cutting the original artwork to the size of the mat window. Is this a technique others have used or even heard of? Like I said, it looks good, but I believe all 3 pieces of original artwork were, for all archival intents and purposes, destroyed in this process. So minus one more star for this--?? It leaves me quite freaked out. I'm interested in re-framing them to get better UV protection, which is why this is coming up now. Wish I'd written this earlier to warn others, but better late and damaging than never, I guess???

As soon as I arrived I felt welcomed and at home! Witch Mama had informative/interactive experiences and tutorials throughout; while also regularly checking in to make sure our needs in craft and body were being met. Regardless of where you're at in your craft, Maiden, Mother or Crone, you will feel welcomed and enriched!

It was my wife's birthday tonight. I had a framed cross stitching made for my wife by her mother before she was born. We had a birthday event for my wife down the street and I wanted to display the picture but the venue wouldn't allow us to hang it on the wall near our table. I ran over to Vintage ATL and JP totally hooked me up with a great solution! He brilliantly McGyver'd an easel on the back of this big framed picture. I was able to prop it up on a table to display at my wife's birthday party. With all the commotion, the picture stood firmly in place on the table all night. JP saved the party with his skill and the ability to solve a unique problem on the spot. If you have a common or unique situation, go to this guy. He knows frames!

I had three records framed by JP at Vintage ATL and they look amazing! My piece was finished very quickly and their price was unbeatable.

JP does a wonderful job. I went in and bought an item he had hanging in the shop and then had 3 other pieces done. I actually plan to go back soon, tonight as a matter of fact and have 2 more pieces done. This is a great local business.
