Sherman McNulty

The breadth of choice at Sherman McNulty leaves other frame stores in the dust. You’re guaranteed to find a frame you’ve never seen before and the perfect mat color and texture. And ditto to all of the raves here about Vanessa. My watercolor is going in a guest bath, and while the shower won’t get frequent use, I was concerned about steam causing damage over time. Vanessa came up with a plan to seal the back with plexiglass to make the frame water tight. That’s service.

True artists. I will only trust Melissa and her team with my artwork. Their attention to detail is unparalleled. One of the only framing companies that really get to know who are and actually listen!

Vanessa is the sweetest and highly knowledgeable! She gave me options and her honest opinion, after all she is the professional, not me! I have gone to her several times and now I almost look for projects to create JUST to bring to Vanessa! My place has never looked so posh, and I have gotten many compliments from my friends and family. I would never go anywhere else and am so happy to have found her!

This place rocks! but the real star here is Vanessa! She is so full of energy and ideas. I was excited before we brought in our prints to get framed, but left even more excited after her suggestions and ideas.
Once you come in and talk to Vanessa, you’ll see why so many people have rave about her. She takes her time and makes sure you get what you need. We’ve used her and McNulty’s services three times already. Never been disappointed in any way.
I dont write many Unilocal reviews. But multiple times now, Vanessa provide the type of service i feel i need to let others know. We’ll continue coming back to Vanessa and Sherman McNulty as long as she’s there.

I went to the Wilshire location and I cannot thank Vanessa enough. She was super helpful in picking out the exact frame I wanted, without making me feel like I had to pick something expensive or of her liking. It was totally up to me and she made me feel like a regular. She provided tons of suggestions in my price range and the final product was even better than I had anticipated. I highly recommend her and will be going here for all my future framing needs!

Vanessa is awesome! She was so helpful with everything and explained every detail (I’m clueless with framing). Will take all framing jobs here from now on.

Sherman McNulty did a great job framing a signed & numbered work that I want to keep forever! Thanks for the excellent service and attention to detail. Top-​notch!

Came in with a newspaper baseball article that I wanted to be frame as a gift. Vanessa was very helpful and made it very easy! I picked the frame I liked and Vanessa recommend the type of glass I should get. The finish product was amazing!!! My friend loved her one-​of– kind gift!!! Thanks!!! Check this place out and ask for Vanessa!!!

Awesome service and excellent job framing a small baseball painting I had. Would go back again for sure.

Vanessa spent a lot of time helping me find the right frame, at the right price, for a professional photograph of my favorite ski resort at night. I couldn’t have asked for better service.

This was an amazing store. Vanessa was incredibly friendly and really knew her stuff. She helped me decided which type of frame would go well with my painting and what type of glass to get, which was especially helpful as I know very little about frames. She really has a nice eye for aesthetic. I’ll definitely be going back the next time I need something framed. A great experience overall.

They are super nice and do a good job. Great place and it is privately owned and operated. Always a big plus.

I just picked up another piece I had framed. Again, an awesome job. It looks great and you can tell it’s solid craftspersonship. Vanessa definitely knows her craft. She has a great artistic eye and is extremely personable and patient.

Vanessa is the Best
I have been to other Sherman McNulty locations but now I only come to Santa Monica. She has helped me frame over 8 pieces… ranging from paintings, rock posters (Foo Fighters/​Pearl Jam) and lately she even helped me frame a UCLA football jersey. I just don’t feel comfortable letting anyone help me with my artwork other than Vanessa/​Sherman McNulty. She takes her time and is obviously very nice in helping you pick out frames and matting your art. She will call you the second it arrives (which sounds silly and obvious but is the reason I stopped going to other framing stores because they would have my art ready and just not call me… they would display my stuff in there store as an example of what they can do as opposed to calling me and telling me it was ready… it drove me nuts and they did it to me over and over again… Vanessa hides my stuff in the back so no one other than I can see it by the way). Anyways I trust and value her opinion as should you

If you have any art to frame or memorabilia of almost any kind talk to Vanessa! She’s extremely helpful and has an amazing eye. Love their work!

This was my first time getting anything framed in my life and it truly was a pleasurable experience! I had purchased this picture from a street fair in Hermosa Beach that represented my boyfriend and I’s first home together and it needed to be framed. I had an idea what I wanted, but Vanessa and her team really gave me great input and reassured that my idea was the best for my picture. It was done in just two weeks and Vanessa called me promptly to let me know. It is now hanging in my beachy bathroom and is absolutely perfect. I will being going back there for sure!

So many wonderful options. Vanessa works her magic quick. Tell her your vision, and she’ll make it happen! I can’t wait for my piece. And I have a lot more to bring in I’m scared!

We had such a great experience framing a print that my in laws gave us as a wedding gift! Vanessa helped us and she gave us tons of options we wouldn’t have thought of. She is very creative and has a great eye! After seeing all the options and choices they have I want to frame several more pieces and pictures in our home-it’s like an art itself! We also appreciated that they are s dog friendly store! Our dog Minnie was there with us and she felt so comfortable in the store she even jumped on the chair ;) the store has a great /​relaxed vibe!

I wish I knew the lovely Farrah Isabelle’s work schedule so I could post it and everyone reading this review could only go when she is working, oh yea… she’s that good.
I brought in a portrait of my lady friend’s dog (photographed by yours truly), and Farrah treated it as if it were her own. I expressed the vibe i was leaning towards and she instantly walked around and pulled samples that matched my very description. Thanks to Farrah, it took less than five minutes to find the perfect fit for my portrait. She showed the perfect balance of politely expressing her opinion and listening to my needs.
I was under a tight deadline (I may have procrastinated a bit with a birthday present for my lady friend. sorry baby. love you), but Farrah was able to get it back to me in about five days.
Farrah is now my exclusive framing specialist, I refuse to work with anyone else.

I had a canvas photo that I needed to put onto a board and this was the cheapest place suprisingly. They had a Unilocal deal at the time and overall they did a very nice job. They have a large selection of frames which are pretty expensive but I assume that’s just how framing stores are.
The staff here are very helpful, they try to work with your budget and give you an honest opinion. They kept an open line of communication for my order and even kept my frame for almost a week after it was ready since I didn’t have time to pick it up immediately.
I’ve been very satisfied with my order and I would definitely come back for my next one.
Keep up the good work
