The Custom Framer has been serving framing needs of those on Chicago’s North Shore for over 20 years. Now, in its new location boasting over 6,000 square feet, The Custom Framer also includes Notice: Accessories For Living, the sister store is located in the same space just north of downtown Highland Park.

What’s incredible is The Custom Framer’s state of the art framing studio on Green Bay Road offers over 4,000 moulding and matting selections, art framing with “frame view” technology and their famous overhead mirrors to give to a perfect peek of the soon to be finished product. While selection is virtually mindblowing, The Custom Framer considers its experienced staff their greatest asset.

Most people wait to get something framed but after surveying the goods here you’ll want to make framing part of your own brand of décor by framing pieces of your personal history like family photos, medals, kids’ art work and so much more. Reframing can make a dramatic change to an old favorite.

Notice Accessories For Living is the Chicago’s North Shore’s newest destination for hip and environmentally friendly accessories for you and your home. At Notice, the selection includes a range of unique one of a kind imports to home accessories made from recycled materials. Make sure you come with some time to browse there’s some really cool and interesting pieces here ideal for hostess gifts, birthday presents, or just to have.

Notice is the creation of Mari and Charlie Barnes owners of The Custom Framer. To many, the Custom Framer customers these accessories are not new. In fact, Notice for many years was known as the "other side" of the Custom Framer. Now with the new expanded space Notice has evolved into a fantastic home accessory store. The store is now managed by Becky Barnes. Mari and Becky co-buy for the store and have begun traveling far and wide to find those unique items that make Notice special.
