rePURPOSE space for your purpose and passions, not just your possessions

rePURPOSE helps you evaluate, eliminate, and integrate your possessions for a more serene home or office. It is about giving you actual and visual space to think, create, entertain. You'll learn principles for evaluating and making choices. Together we'll identify what you love and what you can lose. We'll explore fresh ideas for arranging, displaying or storing what you keep.

    —Rosemarie, Palo Alto


Once your possessions have been evaluated, rePURPOSE is your link to organizations that can re-sell, repair, recycle, remove or re-gift them.

How rePURPOSE works

rePURPOSE will consult with you about what you want to accomplish and how to prepare for a first visit. Then together we'll assess what further — if any — services you need.

    —Ellen & Joe, San Francisco

rePURPOSE works for small projects (the desk) to large scale ones (the move to another location). rePURPOSE can be a jump start to get you there on your own or a long term partner to keep you focused until you reach your goal. The goal is fresh space to pursue your purpose, your passions and not just house your possessions.
