If you like it that way then good but I would say that's rather impractical technical planning and styling.

1. if tou drill :) drill only to one wall , less painting afterwards if you tired of it

2. put the wires vertically so they don't bend out if any weight applied and you can use thinner wire also because the weight flows downwards

3. you don't need robust turnbucles or if you must use them you can use them at lower end

4. use paperclips to connect the photos from corners or middle

otherwise it's a nice solution for hanging out photos

How do you keep the paper clips from sliding down the vertically placed wires?

Great. Bought 3 alluminium clipboards to do something like this but this is great for the kids room I think.

Great work alt text! I've been working on a similar idea www.flickr.com/photos/12775596@N08/sets/72157 601878715139/ (it's held on with adhesive so no need for drilling and swapping photos around is really easy)
