I got to work researching and found InkShuffle via Camila's blog (again, a must read). InkShuffle is a company that will blow up your print and turn it into - get this - wallpaper! Even better, the wallpaper is removable, so it won't mess up your walls. You simply dunk the rolls in water to get them sticky enough to hang. I uploaded a picture from my study abroad weekend in Paris to the site, told them how large to make it, and received it in the mail about two weeks later (for only about $65!).
We decided to wallpaper the print to a piece of lightweight (but well sanded) plywood. Then, we built our own frame using pre-primed moulding and a piece of plastic glass. Here are a few during pictures:
The results are fabulous! See?

The best part is that the picture is such a conversation starter, and I love saying that I took it myself :) Bragging rights!
PS. All of the must read blogs I mentioned are on my blogroll to the right! Get to reading, girls!
Love this pic, girl! This is such a fun idea! Thanks for sharing!
