custom framing?

eriness`

I have a mirror, about 18" by 24" or so, that needs a frame so we can  hang it up.  It came from our old bed frame, a waterbed frame with the built in cabinets on the headboard.  It fell apart before we moved to Iowa, so we just kept the mirror that was in the headboard.  I'd love to get it framed in a dark wood, like the bed frame used to be.  Thought I could give it to DH as his bday present, in Jan, since the bed was originally his parents, then his, then ours.  Anyone have somewhere good to go?  I have coupons for Michael's, and usually something in the ValPak for somewhere in JC Mall.  I don't want to spend a fortune, under $100, less than $50 if possible.  Thanks!

You could get a quote for framing but I have a feeling it might be expensive. If it were me, I might go to lowes/home depot and see if you can find trim that they will cut to size for you. You might have to stain it, but in the end it would be less costly I'm guessing. I've also seen stick on trim, meant specifically for trimming a mirror but can't think of the name brand at the moment.

OR... check out Goodwill to see if there's a frame the right size/color. They're cheap and you can just toss whatever picture that is has in it in the trash.

I like Angie's suggestion (the buying trim pieces one), but if you're not up for that, Hobby Lobby was tons cheaper for framing than Michaels last two times I looked into getting something framed. I ended up buying a pre-made frame, but the mat, etc was less than half of Michaels sale price, so I imagine their framing is probably much cheaper too.

Otherwise, call Deck the Walls, I'm not sure how their prices run, but they have a great long-standing reputation.
