70's Time Capsule - Touring my Grandmother's CASTLE HOUSE 🏰

- Hello everyone!
In this video, take an in-depth tour of the 1970s castle-inspired house my grandmother ("Grandy" 🤍) helped design and won in her divorce in the late 80s.
ABOUT THE HOUSE:
My grandpa, Wally Wright, was a developer by trade with a keen ability to find value in salvaged materials. This house and many of his other development projects were created primarily using recycled goods, a history that Grandy explains more in-depth in this video.
I'm excited to share this glimpse into my family's story and introduce you to one of my favorite humans!

Xoxo- don’t let the muggles get you down!
I can't get my mind around a man building an amazing home like that, having such a fabulous wife and six children and leaving.
Amen @poodlegirl55. I was an-almost poodlegirl54 . . . No kidding.
It's implied that she divorced him because she felt like she and the kids weren't the priority... His girlfriend was just a sidepiece.
I can't fathom any woman who would take a married man and father of 6 away from his family. 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
@@annanardo2358 Well something may have happened that was not shared. She has lived a long life and appears truly content whatever occurred years ago. She has a tremendous amount of pleasure and lovely memories by the sounds of this video. Thank you so much for showing your unique built castle full to the brim of historic treasures and furniture. I love all the quirky ideas and the way you and your husband incorporated them into your domain. I would have loved to see the kitchen and also outside in your landscape/ garden areas. Wishing you all the best wishes. Deb in north east of England.
Perhaps a very broke woman! Lol @@annanardo2358
This is the very best kind of house: full of the owner’s memories, love and enterprise.
I would be in awe, but it was a warm and comfortably inviting. Proving her a creative genius.
This has to be one of the most exquisite homes I have ever seen. The history, furniture, how full of love it is.. absolutely magical. What an incredible woman. You are all so lucky!
Of all the treasures in her beautiful castle she is the most precious. What a wonderful gift you have in your grandmother. I hope you always treasure her.
Your grandmother is a wonderful lady. Her dog is glued to her. Dogs are the best judges of character.
This video just popped up on my UA-cam and I jumped at the chance to watch it. Please thank your grandmother for me and tell her that I so enjoyed the tour and the story and it was so kind of her to share it with all of us out here, thank you❣️❣️❣️
Me too 🥰
My jaw dropped at the stained glass ceiling and the carved Spanish sideboard! Such a stunning house and filled to the brim with treasures. You can tell she lived a very full life.
I love how she started off explaining the truth- her long time husband left her, but what a happy ending she gets to share with her family! My mother also had 6 children and ended up divorced as well, but her home is filled with memories of us and our children. This house is a treasure. Perfectly curated and loved. It is so beautiful and unique. I'm glad she still loves everything she chose back in the 70's and 80's. You're lucky to have that home in your family.
What an absolutely fascinating house, and so lovely and so beautiful as much as the owner was beautiful and so lovely. I was absolutely enchanted with her tails of days, gone by and how they acquired things, and especially respect her love of the arts. I could probably actually guarantee that without this lady, the house may not of been anywhere near as interesting and beautiful as it is.
Lovely home!
My sentiments exactly! She’s such a beautiful person. Hopefully it stays in the family, with all of its beautiful things. You’re very lucky to have her as your grandmother.
That is her truth. Don’t be so angry that each person has their own version of the truth.
Even yours even hers. Three sides to every story. Doesn’t mean because the whole story isn’t shared that the things that are shared aren’t truths @@amandinemanddyna2705
Omg really? Don't jump on someone for a comment. It's not towards you. Why are you taking it so personal. @@amandinemanddyna2705
The history behind this home is phenomenal and it’s such a beautiful place!! ❤
Lady, your ex-husband did you a huge favour and lost the chance to share an amazing life in your beautiful home!! You are a cultured, educated, refined and kind lady, and your home is STUNNING!!!! I'd take that home and all its contents and live there in a heartbeat. That Don Quijote wardrobe, OMG... the artwork, all your beautiful antiques!!! Thank you for opening the doors of your beautiful home to us. 🧡🧡🧡
This is the best kind of home. Every part and every piece has meaning. If i grew up in this house with this lovely woman i would never want to leave!
I’m so glad she kept the wallpaper and carpet just as it was, it’s timeless. Treasure this woman, she’s amazing ❤
Absolutely we are going to be moving towards a phase where people stop remodeling houses and restore them. I saw a beautiful house that needed some restoration, I couldn’t afford it even though it’s sold for 200,000 cash, by people that flipped it cheaply and sold it for 700,000 absolutely destroying all the character that made it amazing. 😩
Just an example the green carpeting is perfect for this house, they still do sell green carpeting, I would probably replace the carpeting with equal green carpeting. I hope this family keeps this house rich with history.
My husband did the same thing.. no children no beautiful home like that but thank God I have my little home. Thank you so much for this tour it was so interesting. I would love to salvage old homes. Beautiful home and ladies thank you ❤️
❤❤Such a gorgeous home. I absolutely loved hearing all the little history notes. Thank you Sasha, and thank you to your Grandma.
So glad!❤️❤️
The most priceless treasure in the castle, is your Grandy! Truly enjoyed the tour and the opportunity to meet her! THANK YOU.
Your Grandmother is the treasure here. I love her appreciation for the arts. I hope you realize how fortunate you are to have her. Beautiful home full of memories as well.
How beautiful that she knows every detail about every piece of furniture. This is so beautiful. I can't imagine growing up in a house like this.
Houses like these are 1 in a million.
You can just tell it was made with so much love and passion...
My best wishes for you and your grandma!
Thank you for sharing this with the world
thank you so much for sharing your beautiful and original home and for sharing your grandmother what a treat
AWW I want her to be my grandma! Such a well articulated, sharp woman. So sweet.
Your Grandmom is awesome! She really got the better end of the stick! Thanks for sharing ❤
Wow, your grandmother is certainly someone I can relate to, dogs, plants, plant stands, recycling art & funiture & material from demolitions( she had the right husband for a time), I love everything that has history, she's lucky to have a big enough family to leave all these treasures to.
I appreciate how she started the video just being brutally honest. That “man” left us and I got this amazing home! Thank you for sharing your vulnerability, your beautiful home and your vibrant personality with us! I especially love that she has mainly secondhand decor and furniture, that’s literally what I’ve done my whole life! She’s curated such a fantastic and interesting home!
That house is exactly what a home should be. Grandma built it slowly with precious treasures from everywhere. We should all take note. A truly beautiful home isn’t inspired by social media or big brands. It should be an expression of yourself. She’s done it perfectly
Im in LOVE with Grandma, I could listen to her forever.
So glad grandma got the house, it’s lovely.
Your grandmother is as lovely and genuine as her home is. It is so clear in every room that it isn’t just a opulent house it is a home for her family. Thank you for sharing her and the family home. Absolutely beautiful.
Gosh, what a lovely home! It is full up with love and memories. All the blessings to your family.
Your grandmother is so inspiring especially when speaking of her home and children/grandchildren. It is a lovely place..I cannot imagine how great it must have been growing up in that home.
Thank you so so much for showing us your grandmother’s beautiful home
She is such a treasure and so is all her collectibles! I hope that your family will always cherish her items and never sell them off
A true Home! I was exhausted from watching "modern" house tours where they all look alike- no character or soul. How wonderful to experience her love of art expressed everywhere. The decor totally fits with her modern day castle. What a good Grand-daughter you are to capture all of this for her! Ps I think Ringo wants his own show!! 😂😂
Wow! For her to offer her home to art group functions just warms my little artist heart. 🥰 What a treasure her home is but she is even more so! 🥰
Yes, I hope somebody watching can arrange for a group of artists day out to paint objects and views there. It could earn a bit of cash too and she would be a wonderful warm host for any visitors and that is a certainty.
I love that the build incorporated so much historic value so that the components brought their own stories knto the house.
So sweet for your grandmother to show her beautiful home with the rest of us. Very well built. She is immensely proud of her home and all its memories and history. Thank you
You must've had the best time growing up there.. I can't even imagine! My dream is to live in a castle type house like this! And to hear your grandma doesn't have a cleaning lady is wild. Everything looks remarkable!
This home is such a fairly tale castle. So many interesting stories about how it all came to be. I absolutely loved the owner’s sweet demeanor and humble nature.
OMG, this house and its "caretaker" are extraordinary! The dining room is my absolute favorite, the stained glass and that amazing cabinet...wow! You can have all your glamorous modern mansions, give me a lovely and warm house just like this! I also adore all the stonework, especially the heart rocks!
Thank you so much for sharing your sweet home, it is an honor to know of its creation!!
Your grandmother is awesome.
I can only imagine being a kid looking for the wardrobe that goes to Narnia in that house. It's simply amazing.
Such a beautiful home. The history of this home. Truly makes it a family jewel. ❤❤❤❤❤
Your grandmother's home is fascinating and I love how there is a story for everything! But what really struck me is that your grandmother is absolutely delightful!!!
What a wonderful home. Stunning in fact. Your Gramma is Precious!! LOVE Her. ❤
This is so stunning, inviting, what a kind speaking lady. She literally made me feel as family during this incredible tour. I love this and feel it calling me home, soulful and energetically balanced in such love and history! I totally appreciate this home! What a joy it must be.. Thank you for letting me into my own head! Love , Love This!
Your Grandmother has had a very interesting life, thank you for sharing her stories with us.. what a beautiful treasure her home is.
This would have been my mother if she had a chance to live into an older age. She's lovely. This house is truly amazing. There's so much to just stop and study. The house I grew up in was the personal house of the local architect that built all the towns Victorian Homes. He used all the extra pieces and parts from those, to build his. It is glorious. Similar story🕯
This is a wonderful example of art and architecture. Beautiful history.
She lucked out! The mistress got the husband and she got the house! Now that's a happy ending! I love how she says she hasnt repainted or recarpeted...we live in such a disposable world these days ...time capsule homes are sadly becoming rarer as they get demolished or given a hideous makeover and turned into a grey and white sterile piece of i wont say... ..i hope this never happens with this one..! Magical place to have grown up in and to preseve!! And what a precious grandma!!
I love 💕 her personality, the home 🏡, and all of the history. Sad to hear Wally left after six children, but glad she stayed in that beautiful home,although I wouldn’t want to maintain it. Beautiful!
Such a well done video with a lovely home and story, only topped by two lovely ladies. Thank you.
How absolutely creative your grandmother is.
Wow! To have something like this left to the family in time. Just wow. I could live here exactly as it is( minus carpet). The diningroom is enough for me.
What an incredible woman thank you for sharing your incredible story with all of us, your home is beautiful ❤️

Utterly delightful, your grandmother is a treasure trove of interesting information.I'm all about the salvage, so bravo to your grandmothe's vision. Also 10:17 Gargoyles on the chairs. they look a lot like Griffins to me.
Thank you for the tour at your grandmother's house. What a blessing,❤
Grandma is amazing, and her home is exquisite ❤️
Your grandmother has a beautiful collections ! And a lot of good taste ! Seriously , as art lover , this collection is priceless !
I am so impressed. I have no words to describe the appreciation and respect I have for those people who built and decorated this house. I can see the love and care that was put it in. Thank you for sharing this with us. ❤
Your grandmothers home is amazing and has such a fantastic story…but it is not outshined by your lovely grandmother. What an interesting B&B this would make 👏🏻
You are an absolutely amazing person. Thoroughly enjoyed watching you talk about your house. I love the fact your open to sharing your home and life with us. Very interesting life you've lived.
Wow, what a fascinating home and story of its construction! Your grandma is a very fortuitous woman and very blessed!
So wonderful! Enjoyed watching this, tremendously. I’m house sitting for my my aunt in San Francisco and love to sit in the kitchen and listen to her stories about the house. We are lucky. Best
Your Grandma's house is gorgeous. I love how she got a lot of items secondhand.
I love your Grandmother, what an exciting life she has lived and I loved all the stories of where they got the beautiful furnishings and the doors and other things they rescued from houses/buildings that would be torn down. The stained glass in the dining room is lovely. So happy I was able to see this great video, thank you for making it.
This is the most beautiful home in the word ❤ a true dream home.
She’s so lovely! Very interesting to listen to and the home is packed with history. Beautiful!!
WOW what a beautiful home. Your Mom is an amazing person and story teller. Thank you so much for sharing such an intimate and interesting part of your life.❤
This house is wonderful!!!, as is your grandmother-she is delightful!
What a fantastic home, thank you for sharing! Hearing the history and seeing the stunning antiques and eclectic artwork and craftsmanship was truly a treat!!
I hope you can keep this home in the family, and all the histories preserved. I love, that they had the vision to save all these beautiful parts from other buildings, and incorporated them. But how I wish they had kept the front doors in their original height! 😂 What an entrance that would have made!!
And oh my - those stained glass windows in the dining room ceiling??❤
I sure hope this home can stay in the family. So much history. ❤
Incredible home! How special to have such a great video of your grandma telling the history! Love this!!
Thank you for a beautiful glimpse into your life, I appreciate you for telling us your story ❤
What a beautiful home with so many things of interest. I'm sure there is even more judging by the size from outside. It's so great that you filmed her and the great stories she has to tell. Who could ever explain it better? Well done!
Thanx gramma for showing us your amazing home
What an absolutely fascinating lady, house and story! ❤
Sasha please tell us more about the green Mercedes! And omg your grandma is absolutely beautiful! You’re so lucky.
What a beautful, fun and fascinating lady! She turned out to be a great general contractor! I'm very impressed with her knowledge of construction, along with the logistics of relics! I could listen to her wisdom for weeks!
I would love to meet your Grandmother and wander through her home gawking at all the wonderful items she has. Thank you so much.
The paintings are STUNNING ❤❤❤❤❤I love the dog following your grandmother throughout the house. Lovely video.
Oh to have a grandparent's house like this to grow up and bond with the cousins and families over the holidays even if you live far apart is the most luckiest thing a person can have.. if you have or had grandparents house where you'd go spend your childhood weekends or summer or Christmas holidays you're so lucky and i envy all of you.. oh i could only imagine the stories and memories you guys made over the summer holidays or the Christmas eve dinner 🤍
Remembering every detail of every piece of art, furniture, items in general is amazing
Nothing short of impressive. The stained glass ceiling is so beautiful, and the piece of furniture from Spain is stunning. Love this home tour. It truly does have a the markings of a castle, yet feels like home. Hugs from NSL, Utah 🥰
Aw she’s precious and the house is beautiful. ❤
She has sooo many stories! Beautiful! ❤
Brava Grandy! Thank you so much for showing us around your beautiful life. Your cleverness shines and the house with it
What an outstanding home. Tears came into my eyes when you said how your husband left you as that is exactly what happened to me but I had been married 37 years which is a lifetime. I also have a beautiful home and I have developed a hobby for antiquing. You give me inspiration to move on.
Thank you for sharing. I love to find these videos !!
This house is amazing! Your grandma is so special and having all those stories. Is everything. Between the stories about the house and the stories of all the children in the house and what they love to do ❤ cherish all of it!! Beautiful
What a beautiful life and home. Thank you for sharing.
What a truly incredible home. Thank you so much for sharing.
