Hello! Welcome to the Dogwood Creek Frames Blog! We sell our custom, hand-crafted frames on Etsy and Ebay, or you can send us an email at dogwoodcreekframes@yahoo.com and we will take care of your questions and orders right away.
Dogwood Creek Frames is owned by John and Elisabeth, a husband-and-wife team specializing in woodworking. We handcraft each of our beautiful frames ourselves, taking pride in making frames that our customers love to use in their homes. After making photo frames for family and friends as gifts, we decided to take their advice and begin offering them to the public. Elisabeth’s mom is a professional photographer, and she loves these frames so much that she uses them exclusively for her own photographs and for her clients. After years of experience with all types of woodworking, we are excited to be creating these unique frames for you. Our frames come in a variety of styles, colors, and sizes to fit all your needs. We gently “age” them to give them a bit of the time-worn, vintagey-rustic look which is so popular today. Please check our listings often, and visit us here for new products, ideas, and photos.
Here are some ideas of what we offer:
This is a fun double desk frame. It comes in two sizes: 5×7/5×5 and 4×6/4×4. This is a really great frame to get creative with! You can use it with two complimentary photos, or with a birth announcement/baby’s first portrait…or a graduation announcement with your senior’s cap & gown picture…or a wedding invitation with a photo of the bride and groom…or a child’s first birthday party invitation and a picture of the baby eating that first cake! The possibilities are endless, and make special, one-of-a-kind gifts. The square opening really sets it apart as unique and oh-so-cool!
For Christmas, we gave my mom this double frame with a wedding picture in one side and one of the napkins from our reception in the other (we got married in October). She LOVES it!!!
This one is my brother, who graduated from high school last spring. How fun would this be for a gift that your senior could take with him/her to college for that new dorm desk?! Or, for mom and dad or grandparents to display a senior picture along with the announcement?
This photo show the angle of the frame. It’s great beause it’s not a flimsy fold-up frame that gets knocked around and falls shut all the time. The angle is perfect for the display of your two images. It looks wonderful on a desk, a table, or a wall shelf.
Here’s the same cute frame, shown with two photographs…so pretty!
And here’s an awesome idea for baby’s room…or grandma’s desk! The double with a birth announcement:
Our frames come in so many beautiful colors! You can find one to enhance any photograph, any art, any decor:
The following frames are made of 1.5″ wide pine, and come in 4×6, 5×7, 8×10, and 11×14. Or if you need another size, just contact us at dogwoodcreekframes@yahoo.com and we can work out the details! Also, our frames come with clear acrylic over the photo opening, and hangers for both vertical and horizontal pictures.
Here is our single frame in soft, buttery yellow with a brushed-on border of gold for a bit of sparkle. Really pretty… this frame looks so nice with everything!
White is always SO popular. No wonder…just look how this frame looks!
And a little close-up of the gorgeous details you’ll find in all of our work:
You can’t go wrong with black…in fact you’ll be delighted at how our gently distressed black frame brings out the best in color and black-and-white photographs! Use black frames to tie together a wall grouping of varied pictures and portraits, and you’ll be amazed at the impact your images bring to your walls. If you take a look in some Interior Design magazines, you’ll see how this simple idea can become an incredible focal point for your room. Over a sofa, up a stairway, over a bed, around an entertainment center…the black frame can tie it all together with lots of “WOW”!
This wall display features one 11×14, two 8x10s, and 4 5x7s. Gorgeous!
Be sure to check back with us often for more display ideas, too.
On with the frames!
How’s this for a lovely splash of color? Green is so “in” right now…designers are calling it the new neutral, because it can just go with anything! This little guy is so cute with his blue eyes and blonde hair, and the green frame just adds to the delightful colorful image. Our gently aged green will look great with outdoor photos, too. With blues, reds, beiges…adding green is a natural!
Earlier in this post, you saw our burnt sienna double frame. And here is our popular burnt sienna single. Think of it as a rich, warm rustic brown with some autumn leaves thrown in. The result is a lovely and fun frame which will give you a little color wherever you want! It coordinates with outdoor photos so nicely, but is classic enough for studio portraits, too.
If you’re looking for something with a little more detail, here’s our single frame with trim. It comes in all the sizes and colors as our other singles, and is gently aged by hand. The trim gives this frame a different look, yet it coordinates nicely with our other styles. Here it is, shown in black:
And a close-up of the beautiful details:
Here is a photo of one of our own walls at home. We love the look of our frames, and we think you will, too. By the way…we also made the shelf! We may be offering those in the future.
Here is our price list for the handcrafted frames described above. You can send payment through PayPal to dogwoodcreekframes@yahoo.com. We also accept checks and money orders.
