Our long time friend and client inherited the family home and asked us to coordinate the sorting, organizing and repurposing of the families’ treasures, and plan and coordinate the renovation of the house into a functional and aging appropriate space. With a new kitchen that his Mom would have loved and an additional sunroom where everyone gathers to watch the sunset and gaze at the marshes, the renovation was complete. The long hours of sorting and retelling of life stories were rewarding for all of us, and the client and family were especially gratified to see how we placed special items and kept the sense of place they had always known and loved.
