That was just one of the many things I knew I could count on when walking through her door. While every grandmother is obviously unique to herfamily, there are some things that seem to be universal when it comes to their homes.

My grandma’s specialty was always delicious chocolate no-bake cookies. But even grandmothers who filledthe jarup with yummy store-bought options knew it was essential that kids got all sugared up before heading home to their parents!

The reception might be a little fuzzy and you might have to turntwo or three different dials to find the right channel, but it’s also a charming reminder of simpler times.

Whether it’s cross-stitched on a pillow or painted onto porcelain decor, you could likely find more than a few of these uplifting quotessurrounding you in grandma’s home.

You probably don’t even remember when you drew the picture or colored a specific page in a coloring book, but she still has it proudly on display.

I loved seeing the old rotary phone my grandma had hanging in her kitchen and would have to be shooed away from accidentally calling random numbers when I tried to play with it.

7. Vintage Board Games

Instead of relying on gadgets or the television,you could always bust out some of the old games your parents loved playing when they were your age.

She’s probably also donated quite a few of these handmade blankets to your own home, and they’re still the best way to stay cozy and warm.

All of the awkward school photos and casual family snapshots cover the walls, fill up albums, and stand on any blank surfaces to show off the good genes to guests.

My grandma kept these handy to use as kindlingor packing material after she read all the obituaries and updated us on who had passed away in the neighborhood each week, of course.

You have to admit, this is a pretty creative way to cover up otherwise unremarkable rolls of toilet paper, if not a tad unsettling to see one staring back at you in the bathroom.

The liquid inside might be almost as old as your grandmother, but chances are she’ll never remove it from her counter along with other older beauty products from back in the day.
