Dear Friends and Customers,
After much thought and reflection, I have made the difficult decision to close The Backdoor Gallery frame shop.
This decision has not been easy because this shop has been such a meaningful part of my life for many years. Through this business, I have had the privilege of helping preserve your memories, celebrate your milestones, and create pieces that became part of your homes and families. I have also had the opportunity to build friendships and relationships that I will always treasure.
While bittersweet, I know this is the right time for me to focus on the next chapter of my life as I advance in my other career and allow myself more personal time moving forward.
Before closing, I would love the opportunity to complete any final framing projects you may have been wanting to do. Since the shop operates by appointment only, I will continue scheduling appointments for a limited time before officially closing.
The final date to place new framing orders will be June 30th, 2026.
If you would like to schedule an appointment for a final project, please go to the website at www.thebackdoorgallery.com to schedule a consultation appointment.
You can also call or text me at 865-816-3476 if you need to.
Thank you for trusting me with your treasured memories over the years. Your support, kindness, loyalty, and encouragement have meant more to me than words can express.
This business was truly built by the support of this community, and I will always be grateful for each of you.
With sincere appreciation,
Rachel Chatfield
The Backdoor Gallery
***For any of your future projects after June, I will have information posted on my website with recommendations for a new frame shop to help you out. I am working out details and will have his information in my shop soon to hand out when you come in as
well.
