The Bottom Drawer

Childhood keepsakes

Maybe it's a drawing from primary school that holds sentimental value. These items can feel too childish to display, but they also represent innocence, dreams, and simpler times. With the right framing or a little repurposing, they can become quirky, meaningful decorations or reminders of who you once were.

Important documents -birth certificates, diplomas

We often shove these into a drawer to “keep them safe,” but their significance is lost when they’re hidden away. Could these be framed in a way that honours their importance, while still keeping them accessible when needed?

Mementos from significant life events

Tickets from concerts, events, vacations, or even meaningful moments like graduations. They often end up in a drawer, but they hold stories, memories, and emotions that could be displayed 

Photographs or photo albums

Family pictures, old vacation shots, candid moments that capture who you are, who you were, and the people who shaped your life. Instead of letting them gather dust, why not create a gallery wall.

Old love letters or cards

They’re tucked away because they carry too much emotional weight or remind us of a past relationship. But, they might also hold lessons about love, personal growth, or even nostalgic joy. How can we turn these into something cherished, without the weight of nostalgia getting in the way? See how we can build you a story within the frame.

Unfinished projects or creative endeavours

Perhaps there’s a painting, a novel, or a craft you started and left unfinished. These things can often be pushed aside because they feel incomplete. But maybe they deserve a second chance — a new perspective or a gentle nudge to finally complete them and showcase them proudly.

Jewelry and family heirlooms

Pieces of jewelry that have sentimental value, but aren’t worn every day, often get tucked away in a drawer. They could be repurposed into something wearable again, or even displayed as part of a larger collection or a meaningful display.

Special clothing - wedding dress, silk scarf

Clothes that hold special memories, like your wedding dress or a silk scarf that you love but can no longer wear, might end up stuffed in the back of your closet or drawer. These items can be framed into a piece of art, as a reminder of a special time in your life.
