Do people still make "growing walls" in their home? You know the wall where you document everyone's growth.
 
We are having our kitchen redone & the wall got painted over. We have been here for 16 years, so there are a lot of marks on that wall.
 
The painters only put 1 coat over it, so I can still see it. I thought I would be more upset by the cover up, but it is **** it is. 4951

At our old house we used the doorway of the bar.  Before we readied it for market and painted over them DW took down each date and respective height of all that had been measured through the years.  When we moved into our new house I went down to Lowes and picked up a nice red oak board.  Milled it a bit, rounded the edges, sanded, stained, etc and hung it on the wall.  She's transferred all of the old marks and added several knew ones.  We can take it down to paint or take it with us if we move.  4951

We have one. If/when we ever move or re-paint, I'll be sure to take a picture of it. Those are the only marks I love seeing on the wall. 4951

My grandparents have one that is about 50-60 years old. Definitely is a keeper. Smart idea to put it on something transportable. 4951

My son used the door to his room.. The marks are still there.....  Poor kid, he turns 21 this month and is about 5'5.   No tall genes in this family !!!!   I always tell him, your so good looking it won't matter to most and if it does then they are not worth your time... 4951

When we moved from FL we took a picture of ours and started fresh here. I'll have to look up the picture one of these days and update the entry into the kitchen with the old ones. 4951

@GoldenGirl: I made sure the top of our board was up there a bit.  Adult sons are both 6'2-3ish and my 14 year old is already north of 6'1 with no sign of slowing down yet.
