Sooo, I did it - I got brave and just knocked on the door and guess what - that man was soooo kind I didn't even have to ask to come in. When he realized who I was he said - Oh let me give you a tour - do you need your camera. Yes PLEASE!!!!! It really did look super great in there and all my memories came flooding back. Luckily Jared came in and talked to guy while I walked around again and then he didnt' have to see me tear up as I remembered all the memories this old house of ours has within its walls. ENJOY! and your welcome!!
Same house letters !
Same old light fixture in the corner of the living room! Dad told me that light fixture was from the house on the hill! That is one old light! Love that the still has it.
Our kitchen - our kitchen - well I dont' think Mom would have moved had her kitchen looked like this. Isn't that quite the site - comparatively!
He wanted to knock that wall out all of the way but it had duct work in it so he just went half way. It really opens the area up.
Yes, Johnnny Boy that is your room you can see right into. They knocked the wall out and made it an office. Neat idea!
My room and it still had the green carpet! LOVE IT! it still had my shelf on the wall too.
Aim , your room and still complete with Pink curtains and lace curtains - still your style all the way!
Another view of John's room!
The upstairs bathroom - looks nice!
Mom & Dad's room - it looks so small - I remember it being huge. I guess their old room could fit into their new room three times.
Ma & Pas bathroom - same mirror - same cabinets - complete with those dumb knobs that always caught your curling iron cord on them.
Their bathroom - Now that shower is sooo much better!!
Our long long hall! I remember cleaning those closets out sooo many times. We used to play library in there too.
Downstairs shower - still the same.
Our basement - no more green carpet or duck wallpaper on the walls. It's all cold and it's wine cellar now apparently. That bean bag almost looks like a rock.
The food storage room - good work on all those shelves Dad - they don't hold food anymore however.
The back stairway!
A view out to the backyard and that lovely deck Dad built.
Laundry room hadn't changed a bit. I almost expected to come around the corner and see Pretty or No Name our birds sitting there.
OHHH the blanket closet - The owner had no idea what that was suppose to be - I told him straight up that it was a blanket closet of course. We used to play in there and sleep in there. Such fun!
Another kitchen shot.
The orchard - the garden - The Mike Shell swing set! I told you! I had to hold back my tears. I miss this old house. Well, home is where your heart is and my heart is with my family so I guess this isn't really home but I will always have fond memories of 932 Sandy Glen Lane and all of our wonderful neighbors!
