There is a frame store called Aaron Brothers in my area that has the biggest selection but I usually wait for their sales because they are priced higher.

Do you rotate pictures, or just keep adding new ones? I know that if we displayed every piece of art my children have made, we'd have about three layers throughout the house by now, with more to come! Do you let the boys pick which will be displayed? You know that they will find one piece that they are really proud of, yet you might not agree. I like Reid's "blue period" pieces. They're better than the first ones cited that are from the museum. Seiously. Great ideas and thanks for sharing them. That is such an awesome idea, and I’m sure your boys are really proud to have their art displayed like this.

I never thought about the floating frames for kids' art. I love them for photos because of the "matting feature." It would really help the look of kids' art that now hangs on the refrigerator until I think I can get rid of it! This is really fantastic! I never thought about the floating frames for kids’ art.
