I think the real question here is where's the cheapest place that won't do a crappy job. 8/31/2007 2:05:07 PM |

go to the framing place inside the building at the farmer's market. We just got two pieces framed, and they were super cheap ($70 and $90) and look great. 8/31/2007 2:10:32 PM |

take it somewhere to get some ideas on how to frame it, bring it home, read up, do it yourself and save a lot of money. 8/31/2007 2:41:10 PM |

Why is framing so ridiculously expensive?
It's molding for crying out loud. 8/31/2007 2:48:18 PM |

Yeah, seriously. And I asked about getting a custom matting for something like a 1' by 3' rectangle and it was going to cost $50. It's just heavy-duty paper. 8/31/2007 3:00:29 PM |

There's a store in Cameron Village. Next to 10000 villages, the italian restaurant, and near the ABC store. They do a FANTASTIC job and the owner is great. I had a few prints framed there and the frames are gorgeous. we get compliments on them all the time. 9/1/2007 6:50:43 PM |

They have a nice variety so you could spend a little or a lot. If you're going for a quality job and want it to be preserved and last then check them out.
The prints I got framed there would have been hard to find/replace so I paid a bit more to have them done right.
