I had a Living Social Deal for $200 in custom framing at a place called the "Art Gallery at the Washington Design Center"

The Washington Design Center is essentially an indoor mall of high-end home furnishings shops. 
It is at 300 D St SW in DC.   There is little parking in the area.   I sort of expected that the prices for a custom framing job would be such that I would only get one piece for the $200.  I was correct. 

The prices make the Shops of Georgetown look like a discount outlet.

I've been looking for a console table for the front entry that could have a shredder and a recycle bin under it.

$10,600 (+$610 shipping)

My entire custom build "Scotch Bar" was less than $8K.  Table Lamps for $2800, etc.

I'm just cheap in some ways.
