Rose Squared Custom Framing Relocates Rose Squared Custom Framing is now open at 111 Clairemont Ave. next to Emil Baran's Music Showroom. "It's the best thing that could've happened," owner JD Isaacs says of the move.

The new space gives Rose Squared its own identity with a glass storefront and signage featuring the square red rose logo on the awning. The parking is also convenient, with metered slots directly in front of the shop. JD showcases some of his own paintings as part of the grand opening celebration. The exhibit, titled "Reaching In," greets visitors as they enter the gallery. He carries original jewelry (for men and women), designed by Atlanta artist Richard Bulman. Etchings by Bulman and Georgia artist Stephanie Scott are also on display. The expanded framing section offers new services and new moldings.
