Inexpensive framed art
Where can I get one of those framed vintage framed posters inexpensively? I need a splash of color in my kitchen...

Even the classic vintage posters?
Should I just get the poster I want and the frame separately or does it look better when its professionally framed?

Re: Inexpensive framed art
Professional framing can cost $$$.
Depending on the size, I think you can do it yourself. Just make sure you measure correctly. You can even do the matting too.

Re: Inexpensive framed art
Also, try homegoods, TJ Maxx or Marshalls (home sections)
They always have great prints for the kitchen

What's matting?
The cardboard trim inside of the frame.
They look like this:

Re: Inexpensive framed art
Sometimes those vintage posters are hard to find a frame for because they are an odd size. We bought a bunch of vintage opera posters and ended up having to get them professionaly framed. The posters only cost like 20 bucks each, but the frames were $$$$$$$$$$
