Frame of Mind Picture Framing

Fantastic work! Very happy with the look and materials used for my frames.

I came to Tom after finding his listing on a local ad. Went into his B&M shop and he was there, friendly and very enthusiastic to see I had not flaked. His store is simple, offering many different options for frames and borders. Tom is very knowledgeable. I had the chance to speak with him in regards of his professional career. He has countless years in the movie industry, making props for Hollywood sets and movies you might have seen. It was quite interesting.
Tom gave me an awesome packaged deal for a bunch of picture frames that my wife and I used for our wedding. He helped me load them all into my little car, which was very kind of him. A+ for service, knowledge and price!
Parking can be difficult, as most streets in Glendale are metered, so be careful and bring coins and read the street signs!

Tom always does a wonderful job for me. He’s honest and does great work. Very communicative.

Tommy has done ALL my framing for more than 25 years. He constantly amazes me with the framing material he suggests for my work. Whether it’s a «serious» piece or a lighter one, he always spends the time to get it just right. We go back and forth on subtle differences in various matting shades. I could not think of going anywhere else.

I should preface this by saying that I’m a defector of The Framing House Design in Chinatown. As much as I appreciate their quality work and low prices, I couldn’t bear the thought of putting up with their absurd turn around time of 1 – 2 months with the artwork I wanted framed this time around. So I did my research and found Frame of Mind.
When I first walked in, no one was at the front desk, and there was no bell that I could ring to make my presence known. So I yelled out «hello» and Tom came out from the back, where he works on the frames. Even though we were off to a rough start, after showing Tom my piece, I felt reassured that the valuable art I had would be in good hands. You get the feeling talking to him that he really has an appreciation for art and images, and that he understands how best to frame them and place them in an environment that will only enhance the work. He also has a great selection of frames, and actually showed me a frame color I didn’t know existed, and that looked perfect next to my art piece. He quoted me a reasonable price and even though I told him that I wouldn’t be able to pick up the piece till the following weekend, he still managed to get it done within 4 days! Before that, I actually called him back because I had forgotten to ask about the type of glass he’d use in the frame. He again reassured me that he only uses glass with UV protection, and that he does offer a museum quality glass at a higher price, but as long as I wasn’t planning to hang the piece right by a window, then the standard glass he uses would work fine.
Even though you might get the impression that Tom may not be the most organized of people (he actually wrote my order down on a scrap envelope), this is a one man show, and the system he uses works for him, which is all that matters. The results of his work honestly exceeded my expectations. My only tip for Tom is to maybe invest in some bells for the front door!

I’ve taken a few pieces into Tom for framing over the past couple years and have yet to not LOVE what he puts together. I fullty admit that I don’t have a clue about what looks good and what doesnt when it comes to framing and Tom is always quick to have a great recommendation on what will look good with the piece.
Sure, he may not be any less expensive than other frame shops, but he isnt more expensive either and his work is without rival in Glendale.
The frames are always nice and clean and he finishes them quickly so my pieces can get up on walls in a hurry.

It’s a little shop front i Glendale with an amazing tallent behind the counter. Tom is my «go to guy» for all types of framing projects and offers the most unique frames avaiable. This is a real Mom and Pop shop with a master framer. I’ve been going to him for years. Tom is a real sweet guy who knows his stuff. — I highly recommend him.

I have been taking artwork and diplomas to Tom at Frame of Mind since the late 90’s — everything looks perfect, from the mats to the frames to the backing. I recently took in some paintings that just needed new linen matting — he did not try to persuade me to replace the frames but went with my choice to keep the original frames. I refer friends to him all the time — I won’t go anywhere else!

the nicest guy and the best framing i have ever had. professional and very polite and INEXPENSIVE!!!

Word of mouth led me to check out this local frame shop, and I’m so glad I did. Tom is a genuinely good guy who does beautiful work for a fair price. I had an irreplaceable diploma and a large professional certificate that required framing, and I was uncomfortable with handing over my documents to some part-​timer at Aaron’s Bros or Michael’s. I’m no artist, so I had no idea what the best presentation would be for the documents. I was relieved when Tom guided me through the selection process with sound recommendations and an expert’s eye for color and placement. My documents look beautiful, and I’d absolutely go to him again for professional framing.

I am not a great reviewer, but what I can tell you is that I get great Personal service at reasonable price. What I needed was 6 custom Frames triple matted 36″ x24″ over a weekend… what I got was promt service easy pick up & frames that were exactly what I needed. I am going back this week for more.
If you need any kind of picture Framed this is a great company… His website is misleading so give him a call
