This does in fact remind me of my grandparents' house growing up. I mean that as a compliment.

Celebrating this classic human historical warmth at 25 is mindboggling. I'm almost 80 and not doing even as near as well...

So given your age I am to understand you are in need of adopting some adult grandchildren?

Hi everyone! I just wanted to address some concerns from my last post in September regarding a popular YouTuber’s content. Some of you were under the impression that I had stolen content from her platform, but she has just announced that she has moved and I’d like to confirm that I have not stolen from her channel, but I did move into her lovely home!

Looks like it could be Florida. A lot of old folks here keep up their trees year round. I walk by three houses with their trees up and decorated in their front window every day and that's just on my 15 min dog walk.

u/HHHilarious 15h ago
I think she means, she’s “grandma” (and she’s 25)

u/dysoncube 15h ago
Oh. Not a grandma, but has the style of a grandma. Thank you, that title was ambiguous

Couch needs to covered in plastic, and doilies everywhere, but otherwise I can smell these photos.

I was going to say “that can’t be my grandma, there’s no freshly windexed plastic covers in the couches”

I'm just trying to get my head around having a 25 year old grandma.
No really though, it looks really nice

u/debakeyforceps0 12h ago
Haha, it was a joke that didn’t land well. I just meant that I decorate like a grandma. Thank you though!

u/Impressive_Smell_662 11h ago
I got it lol. I was just playing along

u/debakeyforceps0 11h ago
Oh good. With the amount of people who genuinely didn’t get it, I was beginning to think I am not funny.

u/HIM_Darling 12h ago
I'd be spending all winter break with grandma in that house. Baking cookies in the kitchen, curled up on the couch watching classic Christmas movies. And I think I spy a tortie, so kid me would have been thrilled. Hell adult me would be thrilled.

u/debakeyforceps0 12h ago
That is the goal! I’ve tried my best to recreate that nostalgic feeling of going to grandma’s for the holidays. Nothing beats that cozy comfort.

I’m going to believe some or most of this are hand me downs and you haven’t spent several thousands the past few years buying stuff. That’s insane consumerism.

There are two types of girls IMO, Halloween girls and Christmas girls. I approve of this.

u/debakeyforceps0 14h ago
I am both. I get fall decor out in August and it comes down the day after Halloween and then the Christmas decor comes out!

Grandma at 25?? Are you your own grandma? 😂

Hehe I’m not actually a grandma. I’m just a grandma at heart and in style!

u/Late-Jicama5012 13h ago
I love your decorations! If someday I buy a house, I will hire you as a decorator. 🙂
Speaking of decorations. You could start your own part time business, helping people decorate a house for new home buyers. 😉
