Simply Squared Designs offers a variety of custom built, distressed picture frames. Each frame is first imagined, then created. They are meticulously hand crafted and finished with a multi-step distressing process. We offer a variety of colors and finishing techniques. Donnie completed the Rocky Mountain Painting School where he learned a number of faux finishing and painting techniques. We apply these techniques to our products as well as refinishing furniture. Our customers are able to choose the size, color and finishing technique that they want. For more information or to place an order contact us at mistyhld@yahoo.com

Here are some custom orders recently finished

Not sure if you can really see the detail, but this frame is made of slats.

this frame was not a custom order...it was an experiment and we love the way it turned out.
It is made with the bead board from really old houses

love it with the black frame!!


***NOTE***
All of these frames are distressed using the "classic old frame" technique. Kind of like paint peeling off. This is the technique we normally use on our frames, unless otherwise specified when you place a custom order.

Here's a sneak peek at some of our new frames!

Introducing the Extrovert
5x7 opening with wide trim and wide base


These frames are without a doubt my favorite! It's kind of like a new twist on an old frame, but with a "swoop" instead of a twist! It can be any size, any color you need, with or without trim.

We LOVE these frames! The bead board is from houses that were built in the early 1900's. Our supply is limited with this bead board. If you are interested in a frame with the "old bead board" let us know and we will let you know what we have in stock.

4x6 frame with bead board $35
