First things first...65 years means a lot of stuff. My mom and I tackled the kitchen first...anyone who knows me knows that a clean functioning kitchen is my number one requirement in a living space. Bathrooms are second on the list...we'll get to that later.
There was a lot of stuff in this kitchen. 28 cabinets, a full size pantry, and 8 drawers full of stuff. This is about half of the glassware we found while cleaning out.
Just so that you can see it... here is this glorious
pink shower courtesy of the 60s.
Not a fan.
Cleaning out a closet... and lo and behold- you can see some of the original hardwood and then the carpet that we're dealing with in the majority of the house.
My Gramps has drawers full of old photos. Here is a gem from Sarah and my younger days.
You can also see that Gramps was a smart man and married this beautiful lady.
The number of tchotchkes collected over the years was astounding...every shelf
in the house was packed to the brim with stuff.
Grams had many collections of things... like over 70 collectible spoons.
This clock is going back into the house somewhere. Not sure where yet, but I love it.
My small collection of knick knacks to keep. Can you tell I'm going for 'neutral chic'?
You can't beat the ugly out of this carpet.
Found my new party sweater.
The giraffe is staying... some lady tried to take him on our 'giveaway' day. I was not having that!
He needs a bit of a facelift, though. And a name...Maybe 'Rico'?
"Mirror Mirror on the wall...." You best believe this beauty is staying.
Could I pull this off?
What about this?
I could definitely pull this off.
Anyways, I hope you enjoyed this abbreviated viewing of some of the things found in this house. Stay tuned for more to come! Next up will be kitchen improvements and main bedroom improvements!
