I'm going to use my photo holder for a kind of theme collage while my son's traveling the country--for photos, postcards, and small mementos he sends home. But later, I'll find another fun use for it. I love that it's like a piece of art that I can change up! 
It did come with a messy dusting of "rust" around the edge (and all over inside the packaging), which I almost wiped off. I didn't know if I was supposed to hang it with that orange dust all over it. But now that it's up, I can see where the "rust" makes a big difference in the rustic look of it.
