For a Growing Family


I came across this awesome idea this week...  making a super stylish growth chart!  I love the idea of having a spot in the house where you mark the heights of your kids over time.  Instead of marking up the walls (could be problematic when/if you sell your house!) why not make this amazingly stylish ruler inspired growth chart that you could display in your house!  The best thing is... it can travel with you and the family if you ever move.  I love it.  Check out the step by step tutorial on how to make your own growth chart here.

That is SO cute. And much better than sharpie markings on the inside of a cabinet :) Are you going to make one?

Let me know how yours turns out if you make one love the idea but don't like marking up the walls!!

That is the best growth chart I've seen (finally, something without tacky kids themes!). i LOVE it. i think my husband would LOVE to make this project, despite the fact that our kids are nearly 5 and 3, we have never had a growth chart, which makes me sad :(

I LOVE this! Thanks for the idea. Obviously we won't be taking a 6 ft. long ruler with us to Thailand but its definitely something we could make once we're there :)

Thanks so much for posting about my Ruler Growth chart! I'd love to see your version if you make one. :)
