The Painted House blogger discovers a hidden treasure, long ago forgotten or left behind by the previous owners, during a kitchen remodeling project. This was a special find for me, as I also share her passion for domestic archeology. I always long to know about the couple who lived in our home for thirty years- they originally purchased it in 1967 and both passed on in 1996. During renovations of that home we found several shrines to Buddha. Later we learned that they were World travelers and that she had come back from a life changing trip to the Orient – and thereafter her homage to Buddha began. We even found Buddha papered under six layers of paint on one closet door. In the Florida Room we scraped away ten layers of varied color paints to unearth a decoupage masterpiece of dragons, Asian temples and, of course, a Buddha. For those of you who also share the passion to know more about those who previously lived in your home, go read her post: “An Archaeological Find“.
