Your Guide to Repurposing Legacy Items
Are you surrounded by inherited items, overflowing storage, or preparing to downsize and face the monumental task of dealing with family treasures? If so, you’ve come to the right place.
Going Through the Attic is where I delve into recycling and repurposing legacy items from family members. I’m Janice Zobott, and here, I believe that inherited items are not just objects—they are a link to the rich tapestry of family history.

Dive into the Journey
There are times when we inherit items and aren’t sure what to do with them, and we also have our challenges with items we maintain in storage. We can donate and sell items we no longer want to keep, but what about those from our ancestors that we want to hold onto? In the following few pages, I will describe ways to use, repurpose, and memorialize those items.
