~ love can be found in hidden places ~
Elizabeth’s lovely story about the small heart shaped rock that is now forever cemented into the foundation of the room her husband built for her reminded me of our own hidden love message. When my husband and I renovated our first condo in Massachusetts we took the whole kitchen apart and moved it by 10 feet. We painted the new wall behind the kitchen sink a vibrant merlot red; as you can see we didn’t paint all the way to the bottom because that part was going to be invisible behind the cabinets. Instead my husband wrote this on the wall and it tickled us quite a bit that our little love message would remain unseen behind these cabinets until the day that someone else decides to dismantle the kitchen again. Probably not for a long time. This was our first place that we had chosen together and we poured a lot of love into it. Someone else now cooks in this kitchen and whoever uncovers our little message I hope it will make them smile and feel happy.
Thanks for the link and sweet story of your own. I’ve linked back to you with my post for today. I love hidden messages like this one.
You’re right, someday someone will find your secret message. I do so hope they will smile and start to wonder about this loving couple, how young or how old, what line of work they were in, and where are they now….
I’ve run across names and dates carved in the rafters of an old, old house. I have found tattered newspapers from 1941 that had been used as underlayment for linoleum. I stopped and read what I could, along with some bits and pieces of ads. Really takes you back in time, to a whole different world.
Hugs
How gorgeous! I would love to uncover something like that in a new home. It would be a sign that people had been loved and happy there.
sweet! “Your comment was a bit too short. Please go back and try again.”
If I am the new owner of your old flat – this message would let me smile immediately! ;o)
And funny – my anti-spam word is “alive”. Funny because I have a bad, bad cold and have been in my bed now since a week. So I think this is a sign ;o)
