Have you ever found something interesting and cool in your own house that it is as if you are an explorer who just discovered something new in the jungle? This is what happened to me recently when a simple panel behind a kitchen cabinet called for attention and gave me a glimpse of what it was like living in an old house.
Picture this, you are stepping into a new house and the feeling of anticipation and curiosity of what will be discovered. There are several ways in which the story could start, for instance, One day as you are arranging the kitchen, you realize that there is something peculiar about one of the cabinets. Looking at the wall closely you are able to discover a small opening that looked like a hidden door. Pulling it aside, one is faced with an old wiring system, as well as a seemingly empty space behind it.
It was like being a kid again and exploring all the rooms in my grandparents’ house. Every scene appeared to be concealing something, from the hidden compartments to the concealed drawers. These homes were not just shells to reside in; they were museums of sorts, preserving and embodying stories and history as well as the skill and imagination of early settlers.
