If you're anything like me and are a sucker for holding onto anything remotely sentimental, then you're probably familiar with the sight of boxes and boxes filled with birthday cards, letters, and photographs – and I mean loads of them (you can only imagine what my clutter says about me).

While I'm partial to using photographs as a budget decorating idea that is every bit sweet and sentimental, I can't help but get major flashbacks to that huge, infamous picture wall everyone would put up in their bedrooms at university. While it's a cute memory to look back on, now that I'm older, I'd rather opt for alternative and more subtle ways to look back on life's moments.
