Framewoods of Topeka is Helping to Fight Hunger in America

Tru Vue and Framewoods of Topeka have joined forces to help fight hunger in America through the Museum Glass® Feeds America promotion.  This campaign is designed to help make a difference in the lives of the 1 in 8 Americans now struggling with hunger. 

Every time, Framewoods of Topeka offers Museum Glass to its customers through the Scratch, Give and Win promotion, Tru Vue will match the donation revealed on the redeemed scratch-off card.  The Museum Glass Feeds America promotion makes it easy for framers and consumers to collectively make a difference. 

By participating in the Museum Glass Feeds America promotion, custom picture framers and their customers will help generate up to $25,000 in donations to Feeding America (www.feedingamerica.org), the nation’s largest domestic hunger-relief charity that secures food and funding for local food banks in every state.  This equates to 175,000 meals to individuals and families in need.

To learn more about how you can help, bring in an item to be custom framed at Framewoods of Topeka or visit our website at www.framewoods.com.

Use Art & Framing for Your Room Makeovers

The square footage of the average American home is 2,500 square feet. Of all the space in that home, the wall space is usually the most neglected.

So why not spruce up your home with some beautiful art and framing? It offers one of the most economical ways to give your living space a new look and will dramatically change the overall feel of your entire home.

Start by choosing a room that has a lot of empty wall space. Then call us—the room makeover experts. Let us add artwork and family photos using just the right matting and frame designs. We can provide framed wall decor that will fit with your furnishings perfectly and will enhance any room. We’ll produce all the elements you need to create an appealing balance that will make your home enjoyable to look at and to live in.

We are happy to make house calls and help you choose just the right art from our wide selection or reframe art you already enjoy. We will bring framing and matting samples so you can see firsthand how they will look in the rooms you want to liven up. We can also frame your own family photos or heirlooms for a hallway, den, living room, or bedroom, making them part of your everyday lives.

Let your eyes spend your hours at home looking at beautifully framed art instead of blank walls.

Whether your decor is traditional or contemporary, we can help you achieve a whole new look with custom framing. To learn more about what we have to offer go to www.Framewoods.com

Trio of paintings works as a unit
Three impresive Jamali paintings dominate the condo's living room.
United by artist, subject matter and frame style, the trio of paintings functions as a single, dramatic focal point in the large space. The colors also reflect those in the room's furnishings.
