Where can I find custom framed art in NYC? Also, who's the manufacturer of Home Decorators custom framed art?
Q. I really like the canvas custom framed art on Home Decorators' website and want to order some pictures. Problem is I am hesitant to order expensive art online without seeing the actual product. Does anyone know where I can a store or distributor selling similar custom framed art in or near New York City? Also, I noticed that the custom framed art on Home Decorators' website, Levitz's website and others is exactly the same. Does anyone know who is the original manufacturer of the art? This would help me to find a retailer in NYC.

A. There is a web site , they convert a digital photos into paintings of different art styles and print them on canvas. Your stretched canvas arrives ready to hang on your wall with no need for framing. you can make your personal style of art wall decor without huge expenses. My friend sent them a picture and they turned it into beautiful piece of art. I saw it and it really looks good.

What is the Portuguese custom regarding married names?
Q. In Portugal, when a man and a woman marry, what is the custom regarding surnames? Does the wife automatically take the husband's name? Is it changing with the times as it is in the US, with hyphenated names, each keeping their own name, etc? Do men ever take their wife's name? Thanks!

A. My fiance was born in the azores 48 years ago and him, both of his brothers and their parents all have 1 first name, 1 middle name and two last names. The two last names are the mothers last name after the middle and the fathers last name comes last. One of my friends just happens to be getting married in Portugal this week and she will be taking his last name as her last name, but I'm not sure if she is going to keep her maiden name. Hope that helped some.

What type of seal works on custom glass showers to seal between glass door and glass wall when door is closed?
Q. I recently bought a home with a custom glass shower. There is a small gap between the edge of the swinging glass door and the glass wall. What type of seal or gasket do I use to prevent water from leaking out? Also there are three metal hinges that connect the door to the marble wall, but there are also gaps between the glass and the Marble where there are not hinges. What type of flexible seal/gasket would I use here?
