Moving into a new home is a lot of work. For many, the home is new to them, but not brand new.
Homes can have rich histories before we become part of them. Sometimes, pieces of that history are left behind. As more people look to restoring the character of old homes, they're discovering fragments of the homes' past.
One homeowner was delighted to discover a wedding album in her home's attic. She was determined to get it back to the album's rightful owners.
She was able to track down some relatives and learned that the marriage was short-lived. Still, the album was an invaluable memory of a family during a moment in time.
Many times, people discover these items in secret hiding spaces like floorboards, walls, and backyards. In one New Jersey man's case, he found an original Picasso in his late aunt's sewing table.
You never know what could be hiding in the recesses of your home. These homeowners' twists of luck and fate make you want to take a closer look.
