old fence frame

so i didn't know what i was going to do with this old fence that i pulled from my neighbors yard a few months ago, but i knew it would be something:)
well here it is.
(van told me it was ugly and asked me why i want to put old boards up on the wall. ha! what does he know right?!)

originally this spot is where our family picture hung. i painted a  green square on the wall and put the picture over it with a huge frame, but it didn't look right, i just wasn't feeling it. so now what was i going to do with that big green square i painted on the wall? there was no picture big enough to cover it (it's about 4 ft. tall), plus it wasn't square- so i improvised and came up with this...

 

 i hung the picture, then piece by piece i nailed the boards to the wall especially choosing ones that looked beat up, added a little white wash to match the picture...

and there we have it:)
