Some things no matter how tattered are too precious to be junked. The memories associated with certain things are often deeper than the bond you have with people at times. Unfortunately old memorabilia is stored in a file, an ornate trunk, and keepsake box often tucked away.
Ironic that something that precious be kept out of sight. However the reality is sometimes either it’s too scared to be shared other times it’s become dysfunctional. If it’s the latter, all it takes a little creativity and lots of love to transform, the object of your desire into something beautiful and useable.
Your child’s first painting or a selection of them could be neatly framed in a shape of your choice as wall art or the first saree that you were gifted by someone special can be a backdrop of an intimate “me” space.
The home should be personal, all things may be store bought but they should in essence resonate with you and how they are arranged too. There is nothing colder than a nondescript home, which maybe beautiful but lacks soul.
The pandemic too demands a cosmetic change for the daunting zoom calls, the backdrop and lighting needs more than some thought. We all need a lil nook that allows us to zone out, maybe a desk / couch that is just ours. We need our comfort spot, just as Sheldon has in the “The Big Bang Theory”. One doesn’t have to be so regimental about it as he is , but it is highly recommended least one ruffles the nerves of other residents in the house. When in possession of one you will realize how it is grossly underrated.
It is time to flex your creative muscles and make your own space, a dash of your personality reflected therein. Trust me if you add all the right ingredients of passion, joy and creativity you will be flaunting this to all the folks who count.
This amusing “project persona” is also high on moral fibre grounds of sustainability, sentimentality, and skill; will earn you lots of adulation from your peer group.
Use this lockdown to see DIY YouTube videos and flaunt your keepsakes, by breathing fresh life into them. You can DM us for ideas for the metamorphosis of your treasures into piece de resistance.
