that is a massive house. like, friggin' huge. I can't imagine having grown up there, dang. I just felt nostalgic for your childhood lol

[@mollypro22]

My mom made me paint over and clean out my room as soon as I left for university but it was basically bright lime green so who can blame her

Yeah they definitely always keep my door shut so the pink glow doesn’t illuminate the hallway lol

[@malaykav]

My bathroom at my moms house is still a terrible highlighter teal blue. Every time I go there I wonder why she let me paint it that color 😅

[@Kate.West.]

Same! I had to box up my stuff while I was finishing school. When I came back from university the first Christmas my room was a “guest room” ...... good job I know my parents love me! 😜

[@faedraemberhart5500]

My childhood bedroom is like green screen green and I still stay there when I come back to visit my parents. My dad surprised me when I was on a trip to BC with a friend for spring break. I wanted like green and brown earthy stuff with white but as a teenager it became green walls with white furniture I was stuck with and black everything else. Its still like that... Honestly its not bad and I still love the color but if he moves, slime green walls might not be appealing.

[@CatBATd4rklycu73]

Kelsey, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE keep that vanity table in your closet. It's too cool. It would look so dope in your new place.

[@EmilyMunro]

Pink and brown colour scheme 😂it was honestly so cool back then!

[@MarieHP]

Brown+pink, brown+turquoise, brown+lime green, we thought we were so stylish 🤣

[@carolinemoss8733]

Holy crap your childhood home is so nice. Definitely a house for the rich... a bigger curved staircase and theatre room it is the dream

[@shannonm2558]

I grew up in a house similar to this one. By today's standards it's completely out of reach, but if Kelsey's parents bought this around the same time as mine (late 80s/early 90s) it would have cost

[@shellsisacoolpear]

That vanity that was Your Great Grandmother's is gorgeous .I had one that I got from my Grandmother and someone broke into my house and stole it ,I wish I still had it so much .I think your stories from childhood r adorable and really shows how design was already a factor in your life and it looks alot like the bedroom I had when I was a kid too ,love it .

[@AngelaSmith2030]

At least for me, in California, we dont have basements so its fascinating to see how basements are made livable and used as an additional floor that isnt just a giant storage room.

[@snuggielover123]

really? I'm in WA and all the houses I've lived in have all had finished basements!

[@samson3000]

Right. Growing up in Southern California, I never saw a single house with a basement. As a kid, I remember going on vacation to the Midwest, where my cousins lived in houses with basements. I found them creepy and scary (obviously they were not "finished") and could not figure out why anyone would want to have one.

[@beewingsart]

I was just transported back in time when you said your favorite colors were pink + brown... a time of limited too (did canadians have that?), those monkey shirts/bags/everything, GAUCHOS!! omg. Thank you for resurfacing the memories Kels lol

[@ilandpryd21]

Thank you for sharing this with us! I started to get emotional during the pool scenes because they were giving me flashbacks of how I felt when our family sold our old home. Snippets of childhood, like the pool videos, start flooding the mind going into every space. Loved this video, TSL!

[@lukeminor6272]

I love all of the antiques like the formal dining room set (my grandma had one and all that's left of it is the hutch which I have now) and the vanity in your closet is amazing I hope that you keep it!! Some of the color schemes remind me of my house as I was growing up my parents redid every room in our house every couple years and nothing is the same as it used to be.

[@GabsBunny1]

Always be grateful for the things you have. I grew up in a 3 room house with no plumbing. Me and my siblings shared the main room which also was used at the living room and kitchen. My parents had their own room and there was a working bathroom until the water pump cracked because of the cold winters. "Cozy" would be the noun used. I dreamed of a "regular" house. Now I'm in a one bedroom apt in LA with running water. Super grateful.

[@Bruhndooon]

“My whole family was standing here..and I slid down the banaster..and fell and fractured my elbow..” (shows us how) I love Kelsey so much 😂❤️

Kelsey walking in to interrupt her sister's movie and then calling her weird for watching a movie during the day... Such older sibling vibes.

[@Beruthiel45]

What a lovely home, it's definitely nostalgic to go back and now it won't be there in future. You have such kind parents and they reared two special girls. I'm looking forward to the clearout video! I have granddaughters your age and enjoyed doing decor stuff with them. 😊🇨🇦

[@sarahwenger4479]

There are two vanity heights that are used: the standard kitchen cabinet height and the shorter one. The shorter one was made so it was more comfortable for kids to use which is why it was in the upstairs bathroom that wasn’t the master (because kids are the main users of that bathroom)

[@virginiakrueger4780]

you save the old costumes for your kids to play dress up...or donate them to a thrift shop so someone else's kids can play dress up in them.

[@imuhstarr]

oh GIRL do I feel that blue/pink/green/brown vibe. Painted stripes on my friend's wall in those colours as a kid. My bedroom in my childhood home is still those colours but like HOT pink and NEON green.

[@lorikaulback427]

Hahaha my bedroom was based around that exact same kleenex box from Shoppers Drug Mart. I had bedding from Ikea in those colours and I DIY'd different things like the frames you had and a bulletin board to match. I guess our decor style really is similar!

[@firsjy]

It's so funny that being the same age and having made my childhood bedroom make-over at the same age-ish as you they look so similar even if we didn't live in the same country.

Are we the same person? As a teen I also danced, had the girly two-tone bedroom with the floral mid-wall border, and made over my bedroom with vertical stripes (purple, lime green, black, white, silver). 😆 I also have my great grandmothers vanity which looks almost identical to yours. I’m planning to give mine a little makeover and would love to see you guys do the same!

Please appreciate how lucky you and your sister were to have a 'childhood home'.
