Look! A Fence of Salvaged Wood

Pardon the bad pun, but I'm on the fence about this one... It's very cute but I don't know if I'd want it in my front yard. I would love it in my back yard though. It looks a bit messy and I'm not sure that other people would "get" that it's supposed to be cute and quirky and green.

I like how they left it raw. People sit up and take notice. It definitely sends a message!
