Dakot-Art

Dakot-​Art specializes in custom picture framing, and they seem especially skilled at California Arts and Crafts style wood frames. Not cheap, but lovely stuff. For me this is gift territory; I can never seem to justify spending large amounts of money to frame a picture for myself, but I have little problem doing it for wedding and other big occasion gifts. Now that I think about it, this is probably why my art collection looks very college-​dormy– not in the ‘Catch a Fire’ poster sort of way, more in the Paul Klee print mounted on masonite sort of way. Anyhow, Dakot-​Art does a great job and they are very nice and helpful.
Beyond the framing, there are always all sorts of little interesting objects to buy in the store: art tiles, Christmas ornaments, a good selection of letterpress cards and, already framed art, etc. and I have mined this selection heavily for gifts as well, although the nifty robot Christmas ornament was all mine (I can always justify buying myself a robot).
