4 Keepsakes From Your Childhood Home Designers Say You Should Actually Hold on To

Conservatory with glass doors, round white breakfast table, wooden bistro chairs, a side console with two large lamps, leading into a kitchen with lots of open shelving decorated with ceramics.

There are plenty of toys, trinkets, and questionable decor choices from my family home I'm glad to see the back of now that I'm older, but that being said, nothing transports me back to my childhood like the keepsakes I chose to hold onto.

While almost all past treasures have sentimental value, some keepsakes from your childhood home are worth holding onto for more than just the sake of nostalgia. Whether it's a rare tea set passed through the generations or a beloved mahogany dresser that once stood in your parents' living room, decorating with vintage or nostalgic pieces that really have meaning will give your home buckets of personality.
