March 29, 2019
There are many household items that have nostalgia for us. After many visits to my grandma’s house over the years, there are definitely specific things that bring me down memory lane and remind me of her. And some of those older trends, from house décor to kitchen items, are having a resurgence and coming back in style! How many things from the list below did your grandma have in her home? How many of them do you now have in yours?
Grandma's House Had Pink-tiled Bathrooms

It didn’t matter if the house was built in 1920 or 1950, pink tile was all the rage back then. In addition, her bathroom most likely had some toilet rugs, decorative hand towels, and don’t forget toilet paper covers!
Loud Clock
