Starting my own wall-o-memories

About 3 weeks ago, I finally got my butt off the couch to get some digital photos printed, bought some IKEA RIBBA frames, and with hammer and nail, started my own wall-o-memories.

What is a wall-o-memories? It’s really just a collection of pictures hung up in a haphazard manner on a wall. Read more about the wall-o-memories concept in my previous post.

Here’s the one I did – the focal/central point being a cast of baby Ryan’s hand and foot when he was 4 months old.

Flanking Ryan’s pictures are my wedding photos (YinLeng and I are wearing traditional Chinese costumes in the second from top right photo). This particular activity is still pretty much a work in progress as we’d like to include images of our parents and siblings as well as including images of milestones in our lives (when i next decide to get my butt off the couch again). Being the amateur photographer that I am, I’ve just realised that the reflection of me shooting this photo can be seen in the image above. Gah!

Here’s a close-up of the cast of Ryan’s hand and foot. Flanking that is an image of Ryan in his favourite outfit – his Manchester United onesy and a picture of Ryan wearing his cap turned backwards, looking through the rails on his cot.

For parents who are keen on getting 3d sculpturing of your baby’s hands or feet, you can get this done at The Baby Loft at The Waterfront in Desa Parkcity.

great job! Beautiful family you have there. The wall still looks a bit bare though, you need more pics.

@lara. agreed – it’s still a work in progress. with time and events, the wall will be eventually filled up with more memories. you can say that it is an evolving piece of work

I have created my wall o memories too but the problem is maintenance. The more frames you put, the more cleaning of dust that need to be done.

@peter. yes, maintenance becomes an issue but i’d take a decorated wall over a lifeless wall anytime (though i do lax in the cleaning occasionally) :)

Fantastic post here.
I’ve always encouraged my clients to do a similar thing.
Definitely makes the home more ‘homey’
