"I was fresh out of Ontario College of Art, had a student loan as big as me and a portfolio to my name," remembers Pat Schnurr, owner of the Junction's Picture It Framed. “I began thinking about what I could do for a living, and picture framing came as a natural answer. I started out in Yorkville, at a U Frame It branch, and I loved the experience.”
Passionate about her new-found job, Pat poured her heart into her work, which eventually helped her make her way up in the company. “I became the branch manager there after a short while. The company was pretty happy with my work, so they sent me to Winnipeg to open new stores.”
Before leaving, Pat negotiated with the U Frame It brand: should the Winnipeg stores find success, she would like to own her own franchise. The company agreed. As promised, she came back to Toronto as a U Frame It franchise owner. “Eventually, their market, and the company itself, dissolved,” says Pat. “I negotiated a break-up from the brand and opened my own, independent framing business.” Picture It Framed was finally born.
OCAD grad and award-winning framer Pat Scnhnurr brings over 30 years of experience to her charming picture framing shop in Toronto’s Junction neighbourhood. The old-world style shop offers everything from basic framing and custom work to mat and glass cleaning to picture hanging and art installation. All materials are cut on site and framing projects are executed with precision and care.
