Do you ever wonder what it would be like to live before your generation? I do. Sometimes I daydream of escaping to another era. Especially now that I live in my grandparents old house. Kinda weird to think that my grandma moved into this house from Burbank, California when she was 37 yrs old and here I am moving in at 36 (pretty dang close to 37). She and grandpa moved up in their prime years, set up their future, my mom grew up here, and now my kids will grow up here. Surreal for sure!
There are still many remnants of the past in this home, an old car, trunks, tools, fur coats, old dresses, and vintage hats. I'm still trying to go through all that is left behind to decode and figure out where it needs to go. Much of which I simply can't keep for lack of space. At this point in my life it's not about keeping, it's about simplifying.

Today I focus on the 1950's pink refrigerator, it's taking up too much space in the garage. Crazy that after 54 years this fridge still works and works well!! I love the lazy susan idea, and the refer over freezer, I can't believe that was cira 1956! Pink inside, well it's better than pink on the outside as well.
I listed it on Craigslist. Lets hope it goes over the long weekend!

It is so neat that you are living in your grandparents old home. It is so amazing the old fridge stills works! Good luck selling it!
I love that you are living in your grandparents' old house. I would love to live in the house my grandmother sold.
I bet defrosting that fridge is a pain you will be glad you are rid of.
Wow! I can't beleive the frig is still working. They knew hos to build things then didn't they.
How lucky you are living in your grandparents house! So many memories!! And that is one cool fridge - too bad you can't keep it!
A testament to your grandparents that you will be able to raise your children in their home. I inherited cookbooks and such from my grandmother and it is enjoyable to look at the advertisements for 'futuristic' household appliances. How fun to get to go through all the goodies - how frustrating it is to get rid of them (at times).
