The Past Life of the House
As the lovers began reflecting on their discovery, they reflected upon the history of the house as well as the people who lived there. They could imagine through the years watching the house through the celebrations, family gatherings, and quiet moments. The hidden compartment and contents changed the house from a lifeless object into a living story, wherein each item in the composition became an epilogue to a life that, once upon a time, bloomed within its walls.
They felt privileged that they had stumbled upon such relics, as though they had been shown a fragment of another lifetime. The house was no longer just a property to renovate-it became a place of bridge-head between the past and the present. Every little detail they unearthed gave a dimension added to it, making them feel responsible for retaining the spirit of the place.
The couple consulted on how they would let these memories be implored in the remodeling so that the house would embody the flavors of the old and new. They were determined that instead of demolishing the existing lives put into the house, transform it into their home by having respect for the ones before them. It then gave more meaning to their project, and it filled them with a lot of respect for the history of the home and the ones who lived there.
