Grey Lad, what about adding pictures and leaving the labels with the words there? If she's accustomed to seeing the labels, new ones with pictures will simply be that. Nothing has disappeared, just extra added.
The need to feel useful

Yes Jackie, It came as a surprise lately when my husband headed off in the wrong direction indoors. I couldn't work out why he wouldn't go up to bed unless I went with him, then realised he couldn't remember which was our bedroom. Leaving a light on in our ensuite at night has been very useful. My friend's husband did a wee in the chest of drawers!
Last thing at night mine likes to switch off the bedroom lights and open the window; that makes him feel useful.
OH doesn't know where bedroom, shower room are and we live in a bungalow which is basically a corridor with rooms off! One day I was sitting at the table and he got up, opened door into conservatory and had a pee! He has, in times past used the bin in the bedroom a couple of times, fortunately plastic.
My husband has early alzheimers he is 77 and does the hoovering on Fridays and helps me by packing the shopping up in Tesco's. I do everything else for him but he loves doing these jobs for me.
Fred often used his plastic waste bin before incontinence set in. As you say, they can be given a good scrub out
