Deciding to conserve and display the artefacts
The couple decided to take up the artifacts found in the house and incorporate them into their home. They wanted a little display of photographs, letters, and keepsakes so that each would tell its own story. It was going to be a small tribute to the past and a reminder of those lives that had filled the house full of love and laughter in its day.
They meticulously cleaned and restored the artefacts; thus, they avoided damaging any of the fragile details. Photographs framed, letters placed in cases to preserve, and the locket polished so that its design detail comes alive. Every article is handled with respect as if creating a visual timeline of the house’s history for anyone who visited.
The pride and spirit in preserving and honoring the past shone with their decision. They knew that having that display was not only keeping the memory of the previous residents alive but also making their own experience of living in the house richer with history. They hope that displaying these artifacts will inspire others who have equally worked to appreciate the hidden stories that lie within their homes.
