office and storage room
MEMORY ROOM
all-purpose space
BEFORE
This room started out as an office, however as the elderly gentleman aged, his Alzheimers made it hard for him to keep up with things.
After some time went by, it became a storage place for all kinds of things - most of which he didn’t actually use anymore.
sorting & prioritizing
PROCESS
We sorted and sorted, threw away lots of items like outdated bills, receipts and unnecessary information.
We prioritized the things that brought him joy, such as family pics, memorabilia from his time in the army and model cars. He also loved vintage and antique things, such as the Burma Shave sign.
remembering, & finding joy
AFTER
Another important piece of it was making a way for him to easily look through old slides from his youth, while listening to vintage records on his record player.
The results were pretty stunning and brought the family so much joy!
