Different Types of Box Frames

There are really only two different kinds of box frames that you can buy and it's important to know the difference as it will have an effect on the finished look.

Deep Rebate Frame

 The first type of frame is a deep rebate frame.  These are made from one piece of wood (a deep rebate moulding) rather than having a box fixed to the back of them.  Not only do these frames have a modern and contemporary feel, but because they are made from one piece of wood you have the option of either hanging them to the wall or leaving them to to stand on a shelf or windowsill.  They look great from the side, so if you are hanging it from a wall you won't need to worry about the side profile.

Box Style Frame

The second type of frame is the box frame - these use a standard moulding for the frame face and have a box fixed to the back of the frame.  The key advantage to this type of frame is that you can get a greater depth, giving you more flexibility as to what you can frame.  For the deep rebate frames, choice is very limited for all aspects: colour, style and depth, as there are not a lot of deep rebate mouldings on the market.

We still use contemporary mouldings for our box style frames and the box is only visible from the side view.  Because of how these are made we can also look into bespoke requests for our customers (something we can't do for the deep rebate frames) - whether the request is for a different colour frame or different dimensions - including depth, we can usually help.

Visit our website to see our complete range - and please feel free to get in touch with any bespoke requests.

Thanks for reading :o)

Here's a glimpse at the first set of products in our exciting new Nursery Decorations & Gifts Category.  This is our range of patchwork nursery accessories and gifts. 

Cheap Wooden Letters.....??

If you are looking for cheap hand painted wooden letters for your child's bedroom or nursery, then I'm not sure I'll be able to help you....

Chunky wooden letters, especially in the larger sizes, take time to paint and decorate to a high standard.  If you are looking to purchase such letters from companies that place a lot of emphasis on individuality and 'make to order' rather than shipping in an abundance of the same letters made elsewhere, then this will obviously come at a cost.  But the end result is that you are left with something unique, that is made with love and of good quality, rather than the same old product you have come across in all your friends and children's friends houses.

If however, you are willing to consider cheap alternatives.... then I most definately can help.  

If you've fallen in love with some wooden letters, but budget is an issue you may need to re-consider the following:

1. Size - Could you reduce the size of the letters to reduce the cost?
2. Location - If you can relocate the letters to a smaller space, you could possibly get away with smaller letters
3. Initials - Using the initials of a child's name will reduce the number of letters you need
4. Single Wooden Name  - you could purchase an extra large letter (the initial of the name) and include the whole name within the letter.  This way you would only need to buy one letter and the larger size will make sure it's still prominent on the wall

If you are happy to look at alternatives to wooden letters, then I'll suggest the following:

1. Acrylic letters are a cheaper alternative to wooden letters, as they do not require painting and varnishing.  They can still be decorated or sold plain and can also be provided in a variety of sizes
2. Mirror Letters (acrylic and shatterproof - so child friendly) also look fabulous and come in different sizes but again at a reduced cost.
3. Door Names with Acrylic letters - this would reduce the cost even further and would still make a special impact on the bedroom door.

Ideas for Wall Letters: Home Decoration

Wall letters have been around for a whole but are becoming an increasingly popular home decoration.  They are so versatile and can look great anywhere.  You can often find HOME, LOVE and PEACE in some of the most popular retailers, but if you are looking to be a little more adventurous and make your own personal stamp on it, here's a few ideas:

1) Children's Names - this is probably one of the most popular ways to use wall letters.  You can buy them in wood, acrylic or mirror finish and in the wood or acrylic - you can purchase them plain or decorated.  They look amazing on bedroom walls and are a fantastic personalised finish to any bedroom or nursery.

2) Nursery rhymes/ phrases - plain or mirror letters could also be used in a bedroom or nursery to spell out a favourite line from a nursery rhyme or perhaps a phrase to do with bedtime such as "Sweet Dreams".

3) Door/ Room Names - letters can be used to spell out the name of the child whose bedroom it is or the name of the room itself, for example "TOILET", "BATHROOM", "KITCHEN"

4) Favourite Phrases can be spelt out on a feature wall (LIVE LOVE LAUGH) or can be used on empty wall space in the house.  As can random words such as EAT above the cooker, DRINK above the fridge.

5) Christmas Messages and Decorations. We're getting seasonal now... you can choose any message or words that you like including the obvious Merry Christmas, Joy, Peace, Noel and so on.  If you have children you could make a decoration using the initial of their names, accessorised with christmas themed embellishments and using either a ribbon to hang it to the door or sticky fixers to attach it to their bedroom walls. 

You don't have to stop at the initial you could even spell out their whole name - the best thing is this is a personalised christmas decoration that can be used year after year.



If you are looking for wooden, acrylic or mirror finish letters to use in your home visit www.forkeepssake.co.uk.  We sell a whole range of wall letters and will soon be adding a selection of Christmas Letters to the website.  We can provide any letters in a huge selection of colours so just get in touch if you are looking for something specific, or use the links below:

More customer pictures - Baby Castings

Here's some more photos sent in from a customer that bought a baby casting kit.  She'd never used a casting kit before, but had some amazing results as you can see from the images below.  These photos were all taken prior to painting but still illustrate the lifelike detail of each of the casts.

We sell different sized casting kits with a choice of paints and sell them alone or with box frames.  We also sell box frames on their own for those of you that have already made the casts and now want somewhere to display them.

See our website for more details.
