4 out of 5 starsI commissioned a custom frame for a 24"x36" mirror, and that is precisely what I got. It fits PERFECTLY.
I would give the frame 10 stars if that was an option. The quality and craftsmanship are astonishing. I can only imagine the amount of time and attention to detail it took to create such a beautiful piece of art!
I dinged the review by one star because the project experienced significant delays (I received the finished product about a month late) and it often took the artist several days to respond to my messages.)
I expressed my disappointment and frustration over these issues, so I was pleased to receive what I believe was a sincere apology. I am a forgiving person, so all those issues are now in the past. What matters most is that the frame is even better than I expected, and it was definitely worth the wait. -

5 out of 5 starsI can not say enough amazing things about colorstorydesigns. I was revamping a library at an all-girls camp and this cork board is the highlight! It is GORGEOUS! So colorful, perfect size. Not only that - colorstorydesigns is amazing to work with. The wrong size was accidentally sent and she went above and beyond to ensure we got the right one! Thank you SO MUCH! You are amazing!

About colorstorydesigns
handmade designs... created from recycled magazines!
colorstory designs began as a way for myself, Amy Gibson, and my best friend, Andrea Read, to be creative and have fun together. We met at an architecture firm in Seattle, WA in 2007, and began our small green design business shortly thereafter. At the end of 2010, Andrea needed to pursue a new job in Kansas City area where she works with a small organization that fights poverty throughout the world. Even though I've continued colorstory designs on my own, the original concept was created by both of us, and she is still my best friend and a huge part of my life!
Everything I make is made from recycled magazines- and I try to find the most colorful parts of the magazines to create one-of-a-kind pieces of art for you! My work includes picture frames, jewelry, wine charms, magnets, mirrors and shadowboxes. Everything is created by me in Tulsa, OK- where I live with my supportive husband Jason and young son Ben. I hope you enjoy looking through my etsy shop and please recycle- it's important!
