Total Framing

On this Memorial Day, we remember all those who gave their lives in service of their country. This day is for those who fought and didn't come home, and for those who didn't come back whole, forever changed. We remember. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

This is American Ambassador from Summer House Stitche Works, from Terri's own personal collection. It's stitched on linen Sherri walnut dyed herself, and framed with a small black liner and a parchment colored burl frame. This simple beauty is one of Terri's favorite pieces. Perfect to help celebrate America's 250th anniversary and celebrate our roots on this rainy, quiet Memorial Day.

In honor of Memorial Day, Total Framing will be closed today! See you tomorrow!

We recently got some new finished corner frame samples in, and it occurred to us that you may not even know that we carry them. These are frames that are carved and made to order for each individual piece of art. The raw wood is joined, then carved, then finished and sent to us. The craftsmanship is absolutely breathtaking. The frames with colored panels can be customized with any paint color, they can change gold to silver and silver to gold- the possibilities are endless. They’re made by AMCI Regence Frames and C&J. We’re happy to order anything they make. Check them out!

We are not ignoring your calls- our phones are out yet again! You can reach us on our other number. (703)870-7937 Verizon hopes to have the issue fixed again by the close of business Monday. 😖

Here's a throwback! For this Floral Blessing by Heart's Content, how could we frame it other than using a flower inspired moulding?! Check out the liner, with it's tulip- like design. Perfection! (Also check out all those Queen Stitches! More perfection. Sherri loves doing Queen stitches. Terri, not so much. Lol.) We both love the simple floral perfection of this moulding because it really lets the needlework be the star of the show. 🌷🌷🌷

Our Verizon phone service is still out, they are working to fix the problem, but in the meantime, please call our alternate store phone number. That number is (703)870-7937

ETA: We have forwarded the store phone to our cel phone, so we have a workaround in place until Verizon can fix it. Thank you for everyone's patience!!

Phones are out at our store- both the main line (703) 426-0660 and our rollover line have been out since yesterday. To make matters worse, although Verizon has attempted to fix the issue, there's an ENORMOUS mountain of frozen snow surrounding the Verizon box, and frustratingly, they cannot reach it to repair the problem. We do not know when the issue will be repaired, as our sub freezing temps continue, and we are attempting a workaround. Please use the store cel phone in the meantime: 703-870-7937. We are so sorry for any inconvenience!

For Tuesday January 27, we will open Total Framing at 12 noon so we have time to tame the piles of snow the plows left in front of our store. See you this afternoon! 😊

2026 is bringing some exciting changes!

As part of our continued effort to improve efficiency and service, we are streamlining our operations and consolidating into one primary retail location, supported by a nearby warehouse facility. This allows us to focus our time, resources, and attention where they matter most — on the quality of your framing, the care of your artwork, and your overall experience with us.

Our team, our craftsmanship, and our commitment to exceptional framing remain exactly the same — and in many ways, this change allows us to serve you even better.

We’re grateful for the support of our community and look forward to continuing to help you bring your art, photos, and memories beautifully to life from our primary location.

Thank you for being part of our journey. See you in Fairfax!
