My Grandparents' House: Upstairs

My Grandpa was the only owner of their house. It didn't change much during my life.

The funny thing is that if I were to buy a house like this now I'd totally want to update everything. Since it's my grandparents' house, though, I want it to stay this way forever! I told EG my worst fear is someone like ME buying the house and changing everything.

There were lots of photos that he took framed through out the house

Gotta love the shag carpet! My nephews had a BLAST running up and down these stairs, lol

The kitchen. I always picture my grandpa sitting on the counter by the dishwasher while my Grandma makes toast.

It was also quite fascinating that they had carpet in their kitchen lol

The Living Room

Somewhere there's a photo of us kids sleeping on the floor in this room. I think I was like 4.

Love the lines on these chairs.

My Grandpa's Penguin Collection

There were lots of pictures of the grand kids in this room

For some reason when I think of my grandparents' house I always think of these birds

Love the lines on the couch, too

Apparently my love of red came from somewhere... Don't you just dig the red carpet?? lol

Upstairs bathroom (excuse the mess please)

Love this painting

These lights are teh awesome

You are looking at my Grandpa's laundry chute. It drops straight down in to the basement laundry room. You have NO idea how much we loved that as kids!

And the second bedroom. Notice the blue carpet in this one.

Please excuse the clutter

That completes our tour of the upstairs. Stay tuned for more shag carpet when we tour the basement!
