You can use some of those treasures that you have in wall displays or on shelves. But you don’t have to resort to generic and boring artwork either.

If we’re going to keep them (and it’s ok to keep things that are important to you, no matter the reason), we need to be smart about how we store them. Some we may be ready to part with, but sometimes we just aren’t ready or able to let go of those things.
