Final result of Saturday night project:

The frameset comes from RedEnvelope and it looks pretty gorgeous. I'm a little peeved that the two 5x7 frames came chipped - I'll have to follow-up with them and try to get them replaced (or buy some paint, I guess).

Installation wasn't that hard - I don't know what people are complaining about in the reviews of the thing. I did need a level - the paper template had me installing the thing slightly crooked. 

I am a little nervous - I don't have a drill, so I've been mounting everything directly into the drywall (recipe for disaster, I'm sure of it). I'll have to buy a drill and remount this sometime in the future with the proper drywall anchors.

Since I'm all about giving props for ideas: Idea originally came from Melody (Damien's GF), and the idea for the photos came from Jennifer - I was originally going to buy classic b&w photographic prints, but she convinced me just to use my own ones.
