One messed up wall...

I love rearranging the furniture. Sometimes it drives my husband crazy. Well, it used to anyway when I actually did it every couple of months. I don't so much anymore because of the layout of the house and the furniture we have, it really only works one way. So instead, I rearrange the pictures on the wall. Every time I do, I say this is the last time I'm doing it because it finally works for me.

Yeah. Don't hold your breath.

I'll do it again.

Anyway...

In all my rearranging, I ended up with one seriously messed up wall.

I had repaired the screw and nail holes, which of course left white spots on the wall. I attempted to paint over them only to realize that not only did the paint not match, but I didn't have a drop of this paint color anywhere.

So... I came up with this idea...

I think it works for me. Except... I wish I had painted the "frame" a darker brown or even black.

Does it look okay? What would you do different if you were me?

Oh, and that ugly smoke detector.... I don't even think it works. We have put up all new ones anyway, so it's pretty much pointless. But, it's hard wired into the wall and there is quite a hole behind it so we can't just take it down.

So... what do I do about it???

(I have an idea, but I'd love to hear some others before I commit to it.)

Suggestions?
