Hands up who else is using lockdown as a chance to start projects that have been on your to-do list for ages but you’ve somehow never got around to?
Whether it’s gardening or DIY or something creative, a lockdown silver lining has to be the opportunity to finally get some of these things done.
Creating a photo wall in our living room is something we’ve been meaning to do for a long time, but what with work and the kids and the general pace of life we’d never got around to starting it.
So when photo experts My-Picture.co.uk got in touch and asked us to review their online picture making service it was the perfect opportunity to finally make a start on the picture wall (and if you read on we’ve got a 15% off discount code for canvas prints for you lovely lot too!)
Capturing special family memories with My-Picture.co.uk
If you haven’t come across My-Picture.co.uk before they’re based in Cologne, Germany and make everything from wall art including framed and canvas prints to personalised home and lifestyle products like cushions and a photo face mask (such a thing does indeed exist!) all delivered direct to your door.
How does it work?
Once you’ve chosen what it is you’d like to order – I opted for four square framed photos to start our picture wall – you can upload pictures directly from your phone or tablet to My-Picture.co.uk, so there’s no need to faff around getting your photos printed off first before they can be framed.
Pictures upload in a matter of seconds, and you can choose what size print you want from 20×20 cms right up to 60×80 cms. You can then select the colour of the frame and whether you’d like your print in black and white or colour.
What about delivery?
Despite lockdown and despite coming from Germany after placing our order our pictures arrived within a week, carefully packaged directly to our door.
What did we choose?
I chose to start our photo wall with some of our pictures charting the arrival of baby number four, from her 20 week scan picture which we have as a digital watercolour…
…to her arrival on April 20.
I also thought it would be fun to have this picture we took on her due date on the wall…
…as well as this one of the two of us when she was just four days old to remember how tiny she was and how huge I had been!
What did I think?
I’ve always been a fan of square pictures as I think they look great on the wall and My-Picture.co.uk’s come with mounts so they look really professional too.
The size we chose are currently on offer for just Β£14.90 each (they’re usually Β£34.90) which I think is great value for money and really affordable if you’re planning a photo wall like us.
So, if you’ve been inspired to get creative too we’ve got a 15% off discount code for canvas prints from My-Picture.co.uk!

My dream is to have a photo wall too but it is one of those things we neevr got around to.
The photos you chose are gorgeous and they look so good in the frames. x
I love gallery walls with lots of personal photos and art. #MMBC
What lovely photos. We used to have a photo gallery on our stair walls in the old house, but since moving our use of photos and pictures has reduced which is sad. I should really start another photo wall. I love the frames you’ve chosen I bet they look wonderful on the wall.

I love the pictures. We got canvas prints done by this company and they were great #DreamTeamLinky
Oh, I wish this had been available when my children were growing, all I have apart from what I can remember are photos that are fading in albums #kcacols@_karendenbid199@gmail is
I have been thinking about starting a gallery wall in our hallway. I love the photos that you chose for yours, beautiful! And the frames are fab. x
What beautiful photos! We’ve been meaning do a photo wall for ages going up our staircase, but hadn’t thought about doing one in the living room before – great idea. I’ll have to have a look at the link especially as that discount looks very inviting π Thank you for joining us for the #DreamTeamLinky xx
Such gorgeous pictures. Although I don’t know how you find the time to do any of it! We’ve got a photowall in our kitchen/family room and love it. We get so many comments about it. #KCACOLS
Organising pictures is always something I love to do and we need some new photos on the stairs so this would be great. Thanks so much for linking up at #KCACOLS. Hope you come back again next time
