As a Professional Organizer, I believe that memories matter. When it comes to an organized home, there should be space for sentimental items to be stored and displayed around the home. Some ways I like to display memories in an organized home:
• Shadow boxes - Hanging storage boxes with military regalia, sports memorabilia, or other collections of items that hold sentimental value are a great way to honor the memories and people that matter most to you.
• Gallery wall - Curate a collection of photos and compile them into a gallery wall. Displaying these photos in an intentional way tells the story of your family for visitors and the people in your home to pause and reminisce without the clutter.
• Custom quilts and clothing - There are many artists for hire who can take sentimental clothing items (like baby clothes or a the flannel collection of a deceased love one) and turn them into quilts, pillow cases, or sweatshirts. Repurposing sentimental clothing items is a beautiful way to keep memories alive and on display in your organized home.
