みなさんこんにちは。今日は８０代のご両親の家の片付けです。
今回はお父様のお部屋をサポート。まずはアフター
Hello everyone.
Today, I’d like to share a home organizing project for the house of parents in their 80s.
This time, we focused on supporting the father’s room.
Let’s start with the after photo.
以前はこんな感じで居心地が悪く散らかっていて掃除もしづらい状態でした。
Before organizing, the room felt cluttered and uncomfortable,
and it was difficult to clean and maintain.
いらないタンスを３つほど処分して必要な家財を話し合って決めました。
We first removed three large wardrobes that were no longer needed,
then carefully discussed which furniture and belongings were truly necessary.
クライアントの◉さまお手製のティッシュとリモコン入れ。
家にあった資材道具のポシェットと、ティッシュケース入れでウォールポケットとしてベッドにアレンジしてくださいました。
シニアのご両親って家にあるものを収納用品として活用するととても喜んでくださいます。
One of the highlights of this project was a thoughtful idea from our client, ◉様.
She created a tissue and remote-control holder using items already in the home.
By combining a small pouch and a tissue case,
she arranged them as a wall pocket next to the bed.
Many senior parents feel especially happy
when familiar household items are reused as storage solutions

アフター
毎朝血圧を測るということなのでスッキリ測定しやすい血圧ルームへ♩
Since he measures his blood pressure every morning,
we reorganized the space to create a clean and comfortable
“blood pressure station” that makes daily routines easier.
お手持ちの物を見るとエレガントなものがお好きだったんだなあと物を介してお客様の人柄がわかります＾＾
Looking at his belongings,
we could sense his preference for elegant items—
you can often learn so much about a person through the things they cherish.
なんとなく雑然としていましたが、
部屋干しと血圧を測るスペースに大変身！
着なくなった着物やお洋服、お布団も整理して
お布団だけになりました。
下段の持ち物は翌週に業者さんが来る買取エリアですので、今後はこちらも綺麗になる予定です。
売るもの、捨てるもの、粗大ゴミ、と片付けは仕分けがとっても大変。ここまで物の整理ができて本当に良かったと思います。
We also sorted through unused kimono, clothing, and bedding together.
Organizing a parents’ home is not just about tidying a space.
It’s about making everyday life easier, safer,and more comfortable for the years ahead.
しまい込まれたタンスや、壊れた電気製品など粗大ゴミの処分にはお金も手間もかかりましたが、
高騰している金が出てきたらしく、買った時の４倍以上の値段で売れ結果的にはそれ以上お金が戻ってきたとのことです。
Handling bulky items like old wardrobes or broken electronics can take both time and money.
In this case, however, some hidden gold was discovered in the house, which reportedly sold for more than four times its original purchase price.
In the end, the income more than covered the cost of disposal.
正直、実家のお片付けっていつかは子供がやるもの。
だったら親が元気なうちに、親のお金でプロに頼んでおくのも一つの選択です。
銀行や相続の手続きなどもできて、突然の入院や病気にもすぐ対応できて、親も子も安心。
長期的にみて費用対効果バッチリです！
Honestly, organizing a parents’ home is often “something the children will do someday.”
If that’s the case, hiring a professional while the parents are still healthy—and using the parents’ resources—can be a great choice.
It also allows for tasks like banking or inheritance procedures to be handled alongside,
so that any sudden hospitalization or health issues can be managed immediately.
Both parents and children can feel more secure,
and in the long run, the cost-benefit is excellent.
玄関には生花が飾られていた◉様のお家。
片付いた部屋にお花と絵画ってなんて美しいのでしょう⭐︎
◉様は子育てや仕事と体調不良もあったり、片付けの期間中にご両親の入院など、この３ヶ月間目まぐるしく怒涛の日々だったそうですが片付けのおかげで入院や手続き対応などもスムーズに対応でき、また、お子様の受験も無事第一志望が受かって「片付けが終わると同時に全てがいい方向へ進みました」、とのお言葉をいただきました。
At ◉’s home, fresh flowers were displayed at the entrance.
Seeing flowers and artwork in a tidy space truly adds beauty and warmth⭐︎
◉ has had a busy and challenging few months—balancing childcare, work, health concerns, and even their parents’ hospitalizations during the organizing process.
Yet, thanks to the organization, handling hospital visits and paperwork became smooth,
and their child also achieved acceptance to their first-choice school.
As ◉ said,
“As soon as the organizing was finished, everything started moving in a positive direction.”
I’m often told that my presence feels like the dawn of a new day in my clients’ lives (laughs).
I hope to continue being that light,
guiding people out of the tunnels they find themselves in.
よく言われますが、お客様にとって私の出現は人生の夜明けのようです（笑）
暗いトンネルの中を照らす光でいられるようこれからも精進してまいります。
おまけ
ここからはゆりのビフォーアフター笑
４〜５年前、雑誌で引っ張りだこの大御所アドバイザーに
どうやったらお仕事が増えるかアドバイスを聞いたところ、
「あなたがクライアントだったら、どんな人に依頼したい？」という一言をいただきました。
そこから私は、技術だけ磨いてもダメだ、自分自身とも向き合おうと、11キロ体重を落とし自己内観や美容も頑張りました。
いろんな大変なこと、苦しいことも乗り越えてきてきたから今があると確信しています。
A little about me—my own before-and-after story!
About 4–5 years ago, I asked a highly sought-after advisor featured in magazines
for advice on how to grow my business.
They gave me a single, unforgettable question:
“If you were the client, what kind of person would you want to hire?”
That question changed everything.
I realized that honing my skills alone wasn’t enough—I needed to face myself as well.
Since then, I’ve lost 11 kilograms, focused on self-reflection and personal care,
and worked through many challenges and hardships.
Because of all that, I’m confident that who I am today is exactly where I need to be.
お客様からお譲りいただいたお財布。
可愛いゴルフボールのチョコレートのプレゼントもいただいたり・・・
ゴルフを始めた私や夫に不要なクラブもお譲りいただいたり。
自分はつくづく、周りからの愛とリユースで生きていると感じています（笑）
I’ve also received special gifts from clients—like a cherished wallet I’ll treasure.
Some even gave me cute chocolate golf balls, and unnecessary golf clubs to support me and my husband as we started golfing.
These gestures remind me that I live surrounded by love and the joy of reusing what others share (laughs).
こんなふうに、自分が活かせなかったものも、また別の誰かのもとで第二の人生が歩めたら、物も人も地球も幸せですよね。我が家に来てくれた物たち、ようこそ！大切にしてまいります。
To all the items that have come into our home:
welcome! I will take care of you and treasure you from now on.
お読みくださりありがとうございました。
