— 01 / Our Craft

Custom framing has been our
only business — since
before Dallas was cool.

Vinyard Frame Designs opened on Dragon Street in 1962 — when the Design District was still a trade secret. For more than six decades, the same commitment has guided every piece: quality craftsmanship, personalized service, and the belief that a frame should honor the work it holds.

"The importance of conserving and protecting art — and that the Golden Rule still applies in business."

— Craig SnodgrassOwner, Vinyard Frame Designs

What we make
by hand.

Six disciplines, one workroom on Dragon Street. From a single preservation frame to a multi-piece designer install — every commission starts with a conversation and ends on your wall.

Custom Picture Framing

Hand-selected mouldings and mats designed alongside each piece. Photographs, prints, original artwork, textiles, and dimensional objects — all crafted and fitted in our Design District workroom.

A personal consultation,
start to finish.

No appointment is required during business hours. For complex projects, designers, or clients who want to work directly with Craig, calling ahead ensures dedicated time.

Bring the piece

Walk in during business hours, or call ahead for a dedicated appointment. The team receives your work and listens carefully before recommending anything.

Walk-in or by appt.

Design together

Real moulding and mat samples come to the table against your actual piece. You see exactly how it will look before a single cut is made.

In-person consult

Crafted in the workroom

Every cut, join, and mount is done on-site in the Dragon Street workroom — not shipped off to a factory. Over 60 years of craft guides every decision.
