Charter Frames

CFA Level III
#1

The Fjallsta frame from Ikea ($29.99) which has a mat of 19 3/4 x 27 1/2 fits the charter perfectly. A little bit of scotch tape to attach it to the mat and you’re good to go.

I ordered that one from “Framing Success”. It looks very nice. You worked hard for the charter you might as well get a nice fram for it.

I actually think it looks better in the Ikea frame and saved $130.

going to IKEA and dealing with the crowds isn’t worth saving $130 IMO

i loathe people

That is why you have your wife pick it up smiley

#6

True… wife does like going to Ikea…

Unfortunately, she tends to impulse buy some crap whenever we are there…

My boss made me go thorugh the program so I made the firm pick up the tab. Custom frame, museum quality glass, double matting. The whole enchilada. The frame shop is even dropping it off and hanging it for me.

That is awesome.

And the IKEA frame looks pretty good

Hey guys,

In case anyone is looking to get a frame, Framing Success is having a 20% sale right now. Not sure how long it lasts, but with the 20% discount and the chapest CFA frame they have ($152), it comes out to $121.60 before shipping. Not too bad.

Code is 13002.

Here is the link to their frames - they even have a couple of the old ones still left!

I plan on hanging it in my office where I plan to have a spotlight lighting it up during the evening hours

#14

when i got my doormat sized charter, I went with a $10 IKEA black frame. looks awesome.

#15

Mine is on the company’s dime. My secretary sent me a link to framing success… so that’s where she’ll likely order it from.

#16

good for you

#17

I haven’t framed mine… and it’s been a few years!

I don’t like the traditional frames for certificate because they are all in tacky red-brown wood frames that just make me look very old (like i graduated from 1970s).

#18

scroll through the frames on the right side… there’s one called ‘metro’ (looks slate colored to me). there’s also some black ones… https://www.framingsuccess.com/product/detail/sid/2624/productID/456667
