SOON you will be seeing some BIG changes in our business, including our name, new products and a new website! The link above is NOT active to our NEW site yet, but it will be in about three weeks! We've gone to HOMESTEAD website builders and they are helping us create a one stop home decor shopping experience for all of our existing customers as well as our new friends.

We are changing our name BACK to our original name, THE CRAFT ROOM and soon, when you type in GIFTS FOR HOME, you will be redirected to our new website.

Decorative stars that hang by a metal hanger that can be displayed on one of our fine table-top displayers or simply hung on your front door. Add charm and beauty to your home for everyday decor or for the Holidays.

An Inspirational Message For Us All - 'Living Life' by Bonnie Mohr

This painting is Blessed! Bonnie is Blessed! She must be so excited to have created such a meaningful BEST SELLER! 

We've seen this beautiful 'Living Life' print at so many locations since we've started selling it in our 'textured' style finish, framed in our most popular frame moulding, Shaker Black 1.5" width.

Everywhere we sell them, at our eBay store, TCR Gifts, or in our booths at the craft mall stores out east, in the Cape Cod Crafters stores, or in SOLS in Ohio, or Pennsylvania, or in the Wisconsin Dells, we cannot keep these awesome beauties stocked for long!

Centered on a statuesque tree, symbolizing the strength of our beliefs and living a good life, the text is inspiring us to be the best we can be, to be honest, giving and to remember the Lord. In this time of the world we know that this is what people are longing for, a daily reminder of what is truly important in this often, all too short, life we are each living.

We are proud to display this print in our home, happy to have it available for you, knowing that it's inspirational message and beauty says so much of what WE believe.
'Living Life'
Life is not a race - but indeed a journey. Be honest. Work hard. Be choosy.
Say "thank you", "I love you", and "great job" to someone each day. Go to church, take time
for prayer. The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh. Let your handshake mean more than pen and paper.
Love your life and what you've been given, it is not accidental - search for your purpose and do it
the best you can. Dreaming does matter. It allows you to become that which you aspire to be.
Laugh often. Appreciate the little things in life and enjoy them. Some of the best things really are free.
Do not worry, less wrinkles are more becoming. Forgive, it frees the soul. Take time for yourself - plan for
longevity. Recognize the special people you've been blessed to know.
Live for today, enjoy the moment.
~Bonnie Mohr~

Since beginning her journey of canvas, brush and pigment in 1988, rural Amaerican artist Bonnie Mohr's art has grown into a breadth of work that touches every aspect of the look, the language and the sentiments of rural America. raised on a dairy farm (one of eight children), she and husband John now raise their five children on a dairy farm near Glencoe, Minnestota. Here she balances a busy family, a business and her heart's desire to create artwork that captures the heritage and lifestyle that she loves!

Thank you for taking the time to read this inspirational message, we pray that you and yours are Blessed each new day!

WE'RE HERE!!

We finally have our own blog! Now we can share all of our latest news, new frame moulding styles, sale items, framed art and home decor products with you right away! We are also at Twitter and FaceBook, so be sure to visit us there too! Be sure to use the BACK button to return here if you click on links!

We still have the 'original' website which is called 'Gifts For Home' which features our frames and many of our home decor items such as our framed art line. We appreciate all of the orders we have been receiving recently from our existing and newest customers too! We appreciate the orders we have received from our Etsy shop, Frames4U too!

We carry a fantastic line of fine artwork by popular artists such as Warren Kimble, Robert Duncan, Linda Spivey, Laurie Korsgaden, John Rossini, Don Vack, Gail Eads, Pam Britton and Bonnie Mohr.

For the nautical lovers, we have two fantastic artists who specialize in lighthouse photography and fabulous beach scenes, Photographer Jim Kernodle and Artist Larry Johnson. Visit 'Photo Print Gallery' for excellent seaside photographs and watercolors in our notecard, postcard and framed art selections.

We are currently working on three new websites. One will be our main website, where we will begin selling our framed art line directly to you through PayPal buttons. The other two websites are e-commerce shops where you can easily place orders . They are called 'Picture Frames' and 'Fan Pulls and Wall Decor'. These sites were built through the coolest website builder around, HOMESTEAD! The ease and functionality of e-commerce stores through Homestead is superb. We really do recommend them for building simple and secure marketplace shops!

Fan Pulls and Wall Decor
Gorgeous fan pulls in a wonderful variety of styles to choose from for dens, living rooms, kitchens and bedroom. For the young girl's room there is a lovely carousel horse or pretty butterflies, even sweet little angels! For the outdoorsman, there are animals, sports such as football, soccer  and basketball. And for the floral art lover, we have a wonderful collection of pretty flowers such as hyacinths, tulips, roses and pansies.

Our unique and original artwork on our copyrighted resin designs are sure to please! We have a wide variety of styles of wall hangings to choose from. From floral to woodland styles, we carry a beautiful assortment of wall hangings that you can even have personalized. Our best seller is the 'MAILBOX' resin wall hanging. Americana, sports, golf and fishermen (see below) are also very popular styles to choose from. These are sturdy indoor/outdoor resin wall plaques that are terrific as gifts for your home as well as gifts for others, and for any occasion.


Picture Frames
We carry a wide variety of beautiful frame mouldings in many widths, from .75" to 2" size widths and in many atttractive styles. We specialize in building custom sized frames to suit your needs too. No size is impossible for us to create! We offer our frames complete, with frame, glass and backers or just frames.

We offer hangers for your frames, the 'nailess' sawtooth hangers that you will insert into your frames at home, or our 'keyhole' hangers in which a hole is drilled into the back of the frame, handy so that the frame lays flat against the wall surface.

We also offer finishing the back of our framed artwork with a wire hanger and 'papered' backer.

Framed and Plaqued Artwork
A very popular size of artwork that we frame and plaque are the 8" x 30" size prints. We call our laminated prints 'plaqued' art because we laminate the print and then adhere it to MDF board, creating a plaque. The sides of the plaque is routered and painted, then the back is finished with a keyhole for hanging. We carry a wide variety of wonderful art from many well-known artists such as Linda Spivey and John Sliney in our plaqued prints section.

Peddler's Clocks
You can choose from our extensive line of 5" x 7" art prints to have inserted into this popular 'primitive' style wooden peddler clock or have your own photograph or artwork inserted easily!


Inspired by early American Yankee Peddler's, this clock is made by hand in the U.S.A., right here in south central Michigan. The case is constructed from poplar, painted black, added primitive effects and features an area to fit your photograph or print in the bottom panel. Requires one AA battery to operate (battery not included).

We offer clocks with pre-inserted prints by artists such as Laurie Korsgaden, Robert Duncan and many more artists.

Customizing for YOU!
One of our most rewarding efforts are to build custom frames for you. If you need an odd size picture frame, we can manufacture it just as you need! We will also insert your artwork and photographs into our frames right here at our factory! You can send us your prints, we will cut them if needed and mat them if needed, how handy and wonderful is that?

Please feel free to contact us for price quotes on these special customizing features we offer. Our toll free number in the United States is: 800-841-5511

Our office hours are: Monday - Thursday ::: 9:00am - 5:00pm

Enjoy browsing our websites, we welcome your questions and always offer WHOLESALE prices on our frames. We also invite wholesale accounts to purchase our many lines of framed art, resin fan pulls, wall hangings and home decor items!
